OK Folks -what do you think is the greatest ever record never to reach number one in Britain.I`ll start the ball rolling by saying mine is Fairytale of New York(although of course on the 18th there`s a chance to put that right-get buying!!) by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl(RIP)

Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley (highest position number 2). Although not his first hit, it made people take notice of the greatest pop star of all time.

What about Pinball Wizard by the Who or Lay Lady Lay by Bob Dylan, mind you they were both 1969 and the competition was pretty fierce!
