Also if you really want, give me some examples of songs that never charted the top 10 but are "classics" today.

I'm not saying they are on the same level as those you mentioned.
Classics that didn't chart in the top 10
#13 It's a man's man's world - James Brown
#19 Losing My Religion - REM
#37 Chain of Fools - Aretha Franklin
#19 Smooth Operator - Sade
#12 True Colours - Cyndi Lauper
#15 Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevi Wonder
#51 Last Dance - Donna Summer
#14 Didn't we almost have it all - Whitney Houston
#14 Where do broken hearts go? - Whitney Houston
#13 All the man that I need - Whitney Houston
#47 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
#47 At Last - Etta James
#37 Something's gotta Hold on me - Etta James
#38 Diamonds are forever - Shirley Bassey
(Note: Many of these are UK charts mixed with Billboard 100. Only so much info out there, but it gives a good indication)
