I always forget that Hole In The Head by Sugababes was actually a number 1, not that I've forgotten the song, I just am like oh yeah that was a number 1? It sounds more like a no.3 to me.
All of Geri Halliwell's solo #1 singles

 

Darius - Colourblind

 

Ronan Keeting - If Tomorrow Never Comes

No to the latter. If ever hear that or the radio again/hear someone singing karaoke (badly) to it, I may have to die. It's not even good. :(

 

I love 'Colourblind', but sadly it very much a forgotten number one. Was part of a string of one weekers iirc that included Sugababes' 'Round Round' and Blazin' Squad's 'Crossroads'!

Blazin' Squad's 'Crossroads'!

Speaking of forgotten chart toppers...

I guess this one isn't also that remembered these days, however unjust that might be in some ways, since we're talking about the first all-Black British group to ever hit the top.

Blur - Beetlebum (can't say I remember how this one goes, but others will disagree)

 

U2 - Discotheque (same comment as Blur)

 

 

 

two songs I listen to regularly

 

The best way to sort this out is to do a Sporacle game of all the numbers EVER.

 

Like the ones Thermometer does - then we'd have the answers.

That might be a good idea actually - however it would have to split across many quizzes because of the mass number of #1s. Plus there would be bias towards recent #1s and most Buzzjackers wouldn't remember many pre-1970 because of the average age group

I haven't used Sporacle before - does the creator have access to the results?

 

 

I would hope that people see the point of it - it's not a competiton to see who gets the most. It really is to find out the least remembered number 1s. However, alternative spellings of the titles and acts may cause problems.

Everyone has access to the results, after you finish the quiz it comes up with a button saying 'See stats' (or something similar). Alternatively just add '/results' to the end of the URL.

 

I could go put together a 'UK #1s since 2000' quiz though it'd still need to be split into 2 as the maximum number of answers for a quiz is 300 and there's definitely been more than 300 #1s since 2000.

In a year positively filled with future classics and/or seminal tunes, this one sticks out like a sore thumb. Wikipedia (yeah, I know...) tells me there have been more than 200-count-em-200 covers of this Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson-written and composed song. But honestly, can anyone tell them apart? And do many people really have any idea what's this song and/or how it goes?

It's entirely possible I've made typos in entering the answers - I apologise if so.

You've completely missed out "Patience" in part 1! I got 90 (3 of which were by entering another song's title and that also being correctly guessed at the same time). I completely forgot about some of my favourite artists/songs, but understandably got more of the 2004-6 ones, due to my age. Part 2 now!

 

EDIT: Only missed 3 songs, all from 2011, in the second quiz :lol: "On the Floor" being the only face-palm one, with two songs that I hate being the others ("Louder" and "Stay Awake").

Knew I'd made at least one mistake. 'Patience' added.
