Number ones that never were

Robbie Williams' 'Angels' has been voted the best number one that never was in a VH1 poll, which drew nearly 30,000 votes.

'Angels' by Robbie Williams has been voted the best number one that never was in a poll for music channel VH1. The ballad only got to number four in December 1997 - a period when the Teletubbies were at number one. Other songs which voters thought should have topped the chart (but which didn't) included 'Vienna' by Ultravox, Oasis with 'Wonderwall', Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and 'Ray of Light' by Madonna. VH1 viewers and visitors to The Sun's website cast nearly 30,000 votes.
