What songs do you consider to be non-hits from Tango in the Night?

[MacShadowsBall]

Well, Ledgies time to pick the songs you feel should count as non-hits and be in the contest.

I left off Big Love and Little Lies since they were the highest charting songs.

[Silver Springs]

I wish You And I Part 1 could have been eligible. I prefer it to You And I Part 2 any day of the week.

Yeah, it seems that Part 1 is more popular than Part 2. It'll be eligible later on in the contest.

I wonder what the story is behind the two "You and I's"?

I heard that it was a simple case of an album over-running, but how far this is true I don't know.

I don't understand this poll. What do you mean non-hits. You mean which songs seem to be the worste? huh?

I was just listening to Tango earlier today. And I have a newfound appreciation of Isn't It Midnight

Singles & Chart positions from the poll choices:


"Seven Wonders" - #17
"Everywhere" - #14 (US), #4 (UK)
"Family Man" - #90 (US), #54 (UK)
"Isn't It Midnight" - #14 (US), #60 (UK), #23 (Ireland)

This is one of my favourite albums, though I understand quite a few see it differently. I think my love of 80s music means that a combination of Fleetwood Mac with ridiculous 80s stylings is almost heaven to me.

I would probably Mystified + the last four tracks would be the biggest contenders for Non-Hits.

I never knew this was a single in America. I never even heard it on the radio back then. Or since.

I despise both these songs so much. Sooooooooooooo much so that even though I know it was a non hit, I didn't even vote on it 'cause I don't even want it in the running. Therefore I'm sure McTrouble will love it.

It reached # 14 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, not the pop charts (Hot 100). That's probably why. It never even made the Hot 100.

could someone explain this poll,is it what was the best of the non hits or worste

Yeah, sorry I didn't bother with listing the chart - I just went with the Hot 100 singles chart if it was listed as the primary and then used the highest chart position after that on any chart as the basis for the rank. Also, if I didn't specify the country, then it's US.

Basically, it's what is your opinion on what songs on the poll were NOT hits.

Personally, I base my decision to qualify as a true hit on the following two conditions: 1. if the song was released as a single in either the US or the UK and 2. if the song was in the top 40 on any chart

If neither of those occurred then the song (in my opinion) cannot be called a "hit".

OK, so "Family Man" was released as a single and made the Hot 100. I guess I can see some people classifying it as a hit even though I don't. I'm curious about some of the others though. Why would you not vote for "Mystified" or "Welcome to the Room...Sara"?
