20 Songs Which Surprisingly Never Made It To No.1 In The UK Charts
5. Firework - Katy Perry
Actual Chart Peak: No.3
Maybe it’s a case of the Mandela effect, but it seemed like Katy Perry’s Firework spent weeks at the number one position. After all, at the time of its release, Katy’s music career seemed unabated as she kept on having chart success after chart success.
And Firework was no exception as it currently sits as her second best selling single of all time. Some people criticised Firework for its simplistic lyrics, but it was nonetheless an earworm which you couldn't help but replay.
Even with all its commercial success, Firework stalled at number three on the UK singles chart.
