(Finished October 29th, 2022) Part 7 of Great Songs That Didn't Chart In The American Top 40

Hello,

These are mainly 80s songs that are great but never made the Top 40. I was and you'll be shocked by some of these songs. These are some amazing songs. As the foundation for this series of blogs I'm going to start off with a two part huffpost article. From there I'll be finding songs on my own. There are likely dozens, if not more, amazing songs that never made the Top 40. I get the song peak info from wikipedia.org most of those rankings come from Billboard. The didn't chart at all meant the song didn't even make the Top 100. Otherwise the number in parenthesis is the songs peak on the Billboard Hot 100 in America.

Obviously "Purple Rain" is the greatest soundtrack of all-time, but Prince's soundtrack to 1989's "Batman" was also amazing. Some of these songs were released as singles, for instance 

Songs 106 to 115 are all by the legendary Prince. 106) "Scandalous", but it never charted:

While the rest of these songs are amazing, none of them were ever released as singles. 107) "Baby I'm A Star":

Why am I including this song. It's because it's amazing, every song on "Purple Rain" is amazing. 108) "Computer Blue":

These next three Prince songs weren't even released as singles 109) "Trust":

110) "Vicki Waiting":

111) "Electric Chair":

113) "Baltimore" was unranked:

114) "Hardrocklover", one of Prince's all-time best songs, never charted:
