Not necessarily billboard hits but songs that are popular enough to get radio play.
Eagles: I Can't Tell You Why-Timothy B Schmidt
Squeeze: Tempted- Paul Carrack

Madness' 'One Step Beyond', vocals done by Chas Smash rather than Suggs. He also did 'Michael Caine', 'Madness Is All In The Mind' and 'Wings Of A Dove', but OSB's probably the biggest one he did.

Blur's Coffee and TV is sung by Graham Coxon rather than Damon Alborn.
and this one I guess is debatable, but Don't look back in Anger is sung by Noel rather than Liam Gallagher (Liam does most of the singing though Noel will do occasional songs)

R.E.M. - Superman U2 - Numb In forgot that Mike Mills sang Superman. Doesn't count here but he also started singing Don't Go Back to Rockville live since he wrote the song. |

A LOT of Beatles songs fall under this umbrella, since George and Ringo sung their fair share of songs on lead vocals. A couple of Ringo songs were mentioned already, but I'll name "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" as a fantastic song with George on lead vocals.

A couple of Ringo songs were mentioned already, but I'll name "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" as a fantastic song with George on lead vocals. This was by design, apparently. They wanted everyone to have a song on every album, something that George might not have been completely on board with originally. This definitely helped them all with their singles careers, especially Ringo (he had a huge string of hits in the 70's, though being friends with some of the greatest songwriters of the day did not hurt in that regard). |

When you think about it, every member of the Beatles had a pretty brilliant career after they broke up. Shame Lennon's life ended as young as it did.  |

I have heard Eminence Front a lot more lately. A Who song performed by Townshend.

Take That's most beloved song (Never Forget) featured Howard Donald on vocals rather then Gary Barlow.
