10 Huge Songs You Wrongly Thought Got To Number One

5. Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk "Woooah, we're half way there"...until we get to the end of this list (sorry couldn't help it). Yes, the iconic and signature track from Bon Jovi has joined the catalogue of 'almost number ones', although in actuality 'Livin' on a Prayer' did top the US charts. While Britain didn't fully embrace the story of Tommy and Gina in 1986, we did however let it piggyback its way into our favourite tracks of the eighties. Even today, 'Livin' on a Prayer' occasionally pops up on the radio. And it's no wonder - it's the kind of anthem that resonates with today's audience and gives us hope even when we're climbing out of a recession. The youth of today continue to be exposed to the likes of this song through games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero. It might be your dad's karaoke track but it's also the ultimate road trip song to scream at the top of your lungs and blast through your speakers.
