Sex Pistols first single got to No 1 because it was banned, so did Frankie Goes To Hollywood's first single. Alice Cooper's Schools Out was banned that was his first hit, before that they were just a cult band who'd never had any exposure outside the U.S. The Pogues, Fairytale of New York was banned until 2007. They became a household name because of that song, before that only moderately popular in their own genre and in the indie press.
I could go on.
