3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Puppet On A String'

) - I remembered this artist had a couple of other #1s but could not recall them at all

 

9 years early for the second year, but managed to get the first one with a wild stab in the dark!

Also couldn't think past Queen for 'The Show Must Go On' despite rather enjoying the Leo Sayer song oops, and Girls Aloud was a bad miss too, was confusing it with 'I'd Wait For Life' by Take That *_* Useless with the film bonuses as ever although maybe should have been able to guess Evita. Happy that I managed to get both of the 'put the songs in order' questions, I was confident about the Fleetwood Mac one but Erasure was a bit more of an educated guess

5 years late for the second year. Should have got

but no idea on the others - although I did recognise the clip of

'Year Of The Cat'

so that's maybe a song I've heard but didn't know the title of.

 

Thanks to

Popchartfreak sending Harpo to BJSC, would definitely never have known that otherwise

remembered 'Connection' for Elastica

Was trying to remember the title of Men At Work's other US #1, couldn't get it but as it happens it would have been wrong anyway as it only got to #45 here
