"Enter Sandman" peaked at number 5 in 1991, giving Metallica their highest charting single. This was equalled by "Until It Sleeps" in 1996 so I had to specify the song with which they first achieved their highest peak. You may notice I've been pretty generous giving out points as I've allowed "Enter The Sandman" as a correct answer, obviously if you want to contest a mark feel free to do so 😁 Edited October 13Oct 13 by gasman449
October 13Oct 13 At least it started with an easy picture 😁 I couldn't name a Metallica song from the top of my head so just guessed at a random word that could be formed from the end of her surname
October 13Oct 13 Yay off to a good start *.*But I think the next one was one of the two I didn’t feel confident about.
October 13Oct 13 I’ve literally just realized I’ve done all of this wrong as I put the answer before the picture but oh well 🤣 hopefully some 4 pointers at least

"Live It Up" was released in 1985 in Mental As Anything's home country of Australia but wasn't a hit in the UK until 1987. It was held off number 1 by two 60s soul tracks enjoying a revival at the time!
October 13Oct 13 I knew the second part of that was Mental as Anything, so worked backwards to Rudimental as the only act who had that word in their name and looked like they would fit the image! I wouldn't have otherwise recognised them if I walked past them on the street.
October 13Oct 13 Oh of course! I knew The Sidemen didn’t feel quite right but had a total mind blank after they came into my head
October 13Oct 13 Author 3.

The majority of you got this one so well done if you did!
October 13Oct 13 Yay, back on track! Here's hoping for a good run now as the one that foxed me the most was near the end.
October 13Oct 13 Never heard of Mental As Anything before and listening to that song I never heard that before as well!Oh and yeah no clue what Rudimental look like (which is bad as I have seen them live before)
October 13Oct 13 Like could I get the extra point if I argued and said autocorrect did me dirty (even if i was lying 🤣🤣)
October 13Oct 13 I worked out the first one a few hours after submitting - one of those where just being in the moment made it more difficult for them to click!
October 13Oct 13 Gradually picked up the rule of the game properly on question 3 and fab to see that be a correct one too. In fairness wouldn't have got the first two anyway as didn't recognise the pictures of those artists or know an answer for question 2 (this will be a running theme for me throughout the quiz unforch).
