\n\tThough it never produced a chart crown, The Killers<\/a>\u2019 \u201cMr Brightside\u201d is a record-breaker in the U.K. <\/p>\n

\n\tTwo decades after release, the U.S. alternative rock act\u2019s signature song is anointed as the biggest-ever single which didn\u2019t snag a U.K. No. 1<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Killers were originally discovered by and signed to U.K. independent Lizard King, and were embraced by Brits as one of their own. \u201cMr Brightside\u201d was initially released in 2003 with a limited-edition 500 CD run, and was reissued in May 2004, peaking at No. 10. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe track failed to set the charts on fire but has proven a slow burner, notching 408 weeks on the Official U.K. Singles Chart \u2013 almost eight full years. <\/p>\n
