poptimistsWhich is the best pop song (that had an official single release) never to reach #1 in the UK singles chart?
I only ask because this morning, my iPod randomly played one of the songs that I consider an all time great, and it occurred to me that it never reached #1 in the UK (confirmed by Wikipedia, although it did reach #1 in the US). The song in question is 'Black Velvet' by Alannah Myles. Can anyone better that?

I pick on those two because I remember being particularly annoyed at the time they missed out on the top, and that was the era I *cared* most passionately about the charts.
