Some singles are released and never reach the top 40 charts but later become more popular than those that did.
Here are some near-hit songs that get a lot of attention and airplay today. ACDC’s Highway to Hell was released at a time when hard rock wasn’t all
that popular reaching only #47 in the US. Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now couldn’t pass #53 on the Australian charts and
ABBA’s Super Trouper managed a lowly #77. Billy Fury’s re-release of Rebel Yell made the UK charts reaching #6, whereas David Bowie couldn’t crack the top 40 with either releases of Changes in 1972 (#86 US) and 1975 (#53 AUS).
