(Finished October 30th, 2022) Part 8 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.

Songs 122 to 130 are all by U2.  This is yet another amazing U2 song, 122) "Red Hill Mining Town" that was never released:

123) "Bullet The Blue Sky" was never released as a single:

124) "In God's Country" (#44):

125) "Trip Through Your Wires" also was never released as a single:

126) "The Fly" peaked at #61:

127) "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" peaked at #52:

128) "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" never charted:

One of U2's better latter day songs. 129) "The Blackout", though it deserved too, never charted:

130) Highwaymen "Highwayman" (#1 country song, but didn't chart on Billboard's Hot 100):

131) This is such a haunting song. Mazzy Star "Fade Into You" (#44):

Songs 132 to 136 are all by Swedish duo Roxette 132) "How Do You Do" (peaked at #58):

133) "Sleeping In My Car" (peaked at # 50):

134) "Crash! Boom! Bang!" (it never charted on the Billboard Hot 100):

135) "Wish I Could Fly" (it never charted on the Billboard Hot 100):

136) "Stars" (it never charted on the Billboard Hot 100):

137) The Buggles "Video Killed The Radio Star" (This song peaked at #40):
