20 Songs Which Surprisingly Never Made It To No.1 In The UK Charts
9. Love The Way You Lie - Eminem Feat. Rihanna
Actual Chart Peak: No.2
Love The Way You Lie was the biggest selling track of 2011 in the UK and eventually placed in the official chart company’s Million Sellers list, after selling 1.05 million within the country. The music video also went viral on YouTube because it had 6.6 millions views in one day (a new record at the time). It was considered one of the best R&B records of the new decade because it was a collaboration of two dynamic artists, as well as being praised for its raw themes.
Despite how well it did globally and within England, the song was just beaten out by Katy Perry’s California Gurls on the UK singles chart.
