QUOTE(Breraldine 🐠 @ Apr 24 2020, 07:33 PM) Similarly there appears to be more hits with the nonexistent word 'everytime' in their title than there are with 'every time'. Sigh. Britney got me spelling it 'everytime' for so long. |

QUOTE(M4NGO @ Apr 24 2020, 08:48 PM) Star - 9 (not sure where you got your 10 from, I'm guessing you counted Top 100 hits rather than Top 75?) According to The Complete Book Of The British Charts, these are all different songs, and all were Top 75: Stealers Wheel Nazareth Earth Wind And Fire Kiki Dee Second Image Erasure D:Ream Cult Bryan Adams Primal Scream |

I'm missing D:Ream - it was a double A-side with 'I Like It' which is why it didn't appear in my search (I was doing a whole word search on 'Star'). I should have remembered that one because I'm sure I have the single.

No I wasn't planning to, it was just something that came to mind so I thought I'd post it and see what other song titles people could come up with. QUOTE(The Hit Parade @ Apr 24 2020, 11:19 PM) i wouldn't, but if you did you'd have to count 'Tonight Tonight' by the Smashing Pumpkins as well. Did you include the Westlife one? Missed the Westlife one, once again caught out by a double A-side! Now added to its count. |

A bit lower down in the league table:
'One' has nine top 75 hits but the U2, U2 and Mary J Blige and Glee Cast versions are of course all versions of the same song. There are also 9 'Without You' 's with one cover (Mariah Carey's cover of the original Nilsson song) - and I didn't know it was a cover until recently. There are 8: Magic Music Tomorrow I Like It Wonderful I thought there would have been more of each of these. This post has been edited by dandruff*: Apr 25 2020, 08:33 PM |

Although only 6 of those 42 songs were singles that reached the Top 75. I'm sure if we were to try and find all recorded songs called 'Stay', 'Crazy' or 'Home' we'd find much more than that. I might have a look and see how many songs on spotify there are called each of those actually. |

I remember 'Star' by Primal Scream - it's from Vanishing Point, which is their best album (don't @ me)
I also remember the controversy over the lyric which implied that Rosa Parks was dead, even though she wasn't. She lived another 8 years. ps - 'Girls' by the Beastie Boys was part of a double A-side. |
