There are some songs that you heard so much “back in the day” that you are probably convinced they had to be major hits on the Top 40 chart of the Billboard Hot 100.

I’m here today to tell you that simply wasn’t true. Believe it or not, every song in this medley – every one of them legendary – failed to hit the Top 40, and in some cases, they missed by a lot!

I have indicated in parentheses each song’s highest chart position.
