ASFM: Forgotten Hits 2.0

[RJN]

From the age of about 7, I have been obsessed with music charts. And frankly, it has benefited my life in almost no ways.

But here we are

For this round of ASFM, forgotten hits are BACK. And if you don't like it fuck you (but play anyway). Please submit to me a forgotten hit. I have done the totally normal thing of making a list of what charts count and what DON'T.

Charts That Count
UK Singles Chart (Top 40)
US Billboard Hot 100 (Top 40)
Australian Singles Chart (Top 20)
French Singles Chart (Top 20)
German Singles Chart (Top 20)
Swedish Singles Chart (the real one) (Top 20)
Belgian Ultratop (but never ultratip) (Top 20) (Flanders and Wallonia both)
US Alternative Airplay (Top 10)
US Country Airplay (Top 10) (@Rowan Tree 🌳 only please)
US Hip-hop Airplay (Top 10)


The US dance charts are fake and do not count. If there is another chart that you think should count, DM me please. There is no time limit or anything

You have 2 weeks to submit, before midnight eastern time on February 19 (5 am UK time February 20).



For the avatar, a forgotten pop culture moment of some kind please.

I'm not 100% sure on dates yet, but I'll figure them out soon.

A WORD OF CAUTION: I don't have the technical skills of @straightorbroken or the extreme obsession of @ButterTart, but I'll try my best. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers

 

[ButterTart]

Oh my God

I still don't actually know what my placing was in SORBvision and already I have Coreyvision to look forward to.

Merry Christmas, Mopsy, merry Christmas one and all.

 

[Marina Salty]

Good God!
*throws the already chosen entry to the bin*

A WORD OF CAUTION: I don't have (...) the extreme obsession of @ButterTart

Nobody does

 

[Tisch]

Omg this! I failed so hard at this one last time (darling)! Over the years (months?) I've thought about other options but of course they are completely forgotten now so I'll have to think...

 

[ButterTart]

I have a shortlist of five already.

 

[OutSynk]

With the "forgotten" hit Voyage Voyage winning in the previous one I think I know how to play it this time.

 

[Alla]

I'm considering the much forgotten I will always love you, I need to check if it made any of those charts.

 

[GNL]

It's her time

 

[rhythmbandit]

Can someone submit a list of the previous forgotten hits ASFM? Thx x

 

[Diddy]

I know it said not the top 40 but this is forgotten hits right? I have a song, it’s technically the biggest selling single of all time but I always forget the bridge, so…?

I’m thinking it’s fine

Oh wait - I mean I was doing a BIT in my previous post - maybe I HAVE actually mistaken what this round is

So they HAVE sharted in one of those charts? It’s not a “great but missed out” round?

 

[Marina Salty]

How on earth was Jain - Makeba considered forgotten? It's from 2015!

 

[RJN]

They are songs that charted but have been forgotten since (interpret as you wish)

 

[RJN]

How on earth was Jain - Makeba considered forgotten? It's from 2015!

I don’t remember it and I played that round

 

[RJN]

I have a shortlist of five already.

You literally showed me your shortlist of 13

 

[Diddy]

I was just thinking how Day and Night
made it on the list

 

[Marina Salty]

I don’t remember it and I played that round

 

[Tisch]

To be fair I don't think "forgotten" was part of the criteria last time, we all just sort of assumed that.

 

[ButterTart]

You literally showed me your shortlist of 13

I've been working hard to reduce it. Now I just have to go through the inevitable half hour where I panic and add 46 songs back in, before I eventually send a song I remember at the last minute that wasn't on the shortlist at all.

 

[dmlaw]

To be fair I don't think "forgotten" was part of the criteria last time, we all just sort of assumed that.

It was absolutely part of the criteria last time. It was in the full name of the contest and everything.

 

[Marina Salty]

Raspberry sent Khaled - Didi

 

[Diddy]

If you ASSume, you make an ASS out of U and ME @Tisch

Also the topic is ASS

 

[Diddy]

Raspberry sent Khaled - Didi

Also I sent Khaled - Raspberry Swirl

 

[ZenGiraffe]

It's her time

ROBBED

 

[ZenGiraffe]

To be fair I don't think "forgotten" was part of the criteria last time, we all just sort of assumed that.

Hit, however, was almost universally ignored

 

[OutSynk]

But which Delta Goodrem song are we getting this time? Any of them will definitely fill the criteria at least.

 

[Tisch]

It was absolutely part of the criteria last time. It was in the full name of the contest and everything.

So it was. But to be fair, looking at that list...

 

[ButterTart]

There's a song I really want to send which is sort of obscure (I didn't know until recently it had ever been released as a single) but is also partly very well known.

There's also a song I want to send that would be obscure literally anywhere but on this gay-interest music pedantry site.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

ENTERED AND I THINK I WON

 

[Marina Salty]

Are really the charts of every Mediterranean country by default excluded?

 

[Music]

Entered!

 

[OutSynk]

TOO MUCH CHOICE I FEAR

 

[GNL]

Hit, however, was almost universally ignored

See, I deliberately went OBSCURE because I thought I had to and then realised I should have sent the one that was actually a hit

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Relatable.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I think I sent something that definitely won't win but hopefully will get me my first top 15 placement.

 

[Kala]

I’ve sent my proposed entry, waiting to see if it is accepted!

 

[Alla]

I’ve sent my proposed entry, waiting to see if it is accepted!

Are you going to give your top points to yourself again?

 

[ButterTart]

ENTERED!
