Tuesday at 19:485 days Oh dear, Lisaturday Night Fever is an embarassing miss, wrong artist + didn't read the question right! Oops *___I have terrible facial recognition of most musicians, but it was in my mind for most of it that it was only the last few letters of the word that could be smashed rather than the whole one, Chase & Status Quo is so obvious in retrospect xOh no at not recognising the Doors too, annoyed at myself for that x
Tuesday at 20:005 days Looks like there's three of us still on 100% - I'm sure I slipped up later on though. I wasn't completely sure on The Doors but they seemed the most likely answer that fit.

The Orb's "Blue Room" is the longest single to reach the top 40, peaking at number 8 in 1992. The full version is unfortunately unavailable on streaming! I'm happy some of you recognised Deacon Blue as I was finding it hard to find a suitable Blue Room smash when I was making the quiz.
Tuesday at 20:345 days Yay, one I got right! I didn't know what Deacon Blue looked like but remembered Blue Room so thought they looked like a group that could be Deacon Blue.

Tuesday at 22:015 days I had no idea that was Beabadoobee. If I'd have got her I think I would automatically have got the Bee Gees!
Tuesday at 22:335 days Think I've just realised who the picture is for the one I definitely didn't get in a few questions time!

Wednesday at 18:464 days I knew my error, sadly just not in time. I typed in Total Eclipse of the Heart first as that’s the part I knew and then spent a while trying to think of a DJ beginning with T - so on balance I’m going to count this one as a good 4 because I wasn’t sure it was actually Tiesto, and was actually lucky that the dj started with T seeing as that part wasn’t the link
Wednesday at 18:544 days DAMN I didn't even think of anyone outside of Meatloaf for that question and knew I'd do anything for love was his only #1! 😭
Wednesday at 19:084 days Songwriters I've got no idea about generally so would never have gotten that one
