20 Songs Which Surprisingly Never Made It To No.1 In The UK Charts

20. Morning Train (Nine To Five) - Sheena Easton

Actual Chart Peak: No.3

When asked the question of who had the most successful hit in the UK with their song ‘Nine to Five’, most would probably answer Dolly Parton (and a few might even say Lady Sovereign). But it was actually Sheena Easton who had a huge hit with Nine to Five and was launched into pop stardom after her stint on The Big Time.

Known as ‘Morning Train’ in America, so that it wasn’t confused with Dolly’s version, it reached number one on the US billboard charts. But Sheena couldn’t quite accomplish the same pinnacle in the UK, despite the song’s massive popularity.

However, it was good enough for the singer to become a successful pop star, which is why she appeared on The Big Time in the first place.
