THE

 LOST SINGLES

SHOULD-A BEEN HITS

GONE AWAY

THE OFFSPRING

1997

The Offspring had a harder rock edge to its sound as evidenced best on this track. Lifted as a single off the group's 'Ixnay On The Hombre' album, the song fared well on the Australian and various European charts but inexplicably missed the US and UK Top 40 altogether.

You can listen to all of the tracks featured as The Lost Singles and other fun playlists on Spotify.

DANCING MACHINE

Jackson 5

1974

U.S.A. #2

Trivia:

The Jackson 5 scored 4 consecutive #1 singles on the US Hot 100 with their first Motown releases, beginning with "I Want You Back" in 1970. By 1974, the momentum was slowing down. "Dancing Machine" was the group's first Soul Chart #1 and Top 10 Pop hit since 1971. It would also be the brothers' final major achievement on the label. The Jackson 5 would soon switch over to Epic / CBS where the brothers and lead singer Michael Jackson in particular would find even greater success.

SAME LOVE

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

featuring Mary Lambert

The American hip hop duo used a genre that has justifiably been accused of homophobia to argue in favour of tolerance, acceptance and equality. Brimming with powerful lyrics, the confronting song topped charts in Australia and New Zealand as well as going Top 10 in Britain and Canada. In the U.S.A., the track peaked at #11. More important than its chart accomplishments, “Same Love” changed minds.

JUDY’S TURN TO CRY

Lesley Gore
