So, I may have just been Dad dancing to The Elgins 'Heaven must have sent you' on the wireless

It's one of them songs that gets the feet tapping, yet it's not that widely known
Having had a little snoop on Wiki, it only reached #50 in the US Billboard Charts and #3 in the UK Charts as a re-release
That got me thinking, had this song been released as a single at the time by a more well known / popular group, would it have made #1?
So, do we know any other songs that we think could have made number 1, had another artist released them?
How much is the success of a song is down to the popularity of the artist that releases it?
e.g. are Ed Sheeran songs popular because they are great or because Ed is riding his fame & popularity right now? |

Also… there are a whole bunch of Beatles songs you would have thought would have been a number 1 and never were… you would be surprised!!!
The quizmaster at my local use to have a round called number 1 or not… and use to slip in Beatles songs all the time |
