  1. Please note that the personnel make-up in a group is taken from those who were in the band when they first entered the Top 20. Fleetwood Mac's make-up has obviously changed radically over 54 years. Also, where solo artists have already appeared in a band, such as the Beatles, I have not repeated the entry; additionally, where a band is made up of personnel, all of whom have already appeared in other bands or solo, I have not included the new entity.

  12. Why not?! Give me a bit of time, there are currently 1,909 English acts who have reached the Top 20 Singles chart...
  13. It's a fair point, yes. Perhaps I should split up all the States and the Counties in the USA and the UK as my next project... I've done it for all the Oscar winners?!
  14. Not really, since 1898, those born on Guam are USA citizens even if they are not entitled to vote in presidential elections.
  15. I've found one more East German born Top 20 visitor and I'm pretty confident it's the first and last: Jorg Knoch aka Oliver Bendt of the Goombay Dance Band in 1982 - he was born in Potsdam, East Germany in 1946. That will be the first East German entry and Marty Kristian will be the first Latvian.
  16. The first person to reach the UK Top 20 Singles chart in 1971 and who was born in East Germany was definitely Martins Vanags aka Marty Kristian of the New Seekers. However, both his parents were Latvian refugees. He was born in 1947 and emigrated to Australia with his mother in 1950. In any case, either he was the first Latvian, meaning House of Pain are no longer relevant or I should add East Germany as the 35th country between Argentina and Norway... Well, I'll have to add East Germany anyway. Thank you!
  17. Yes, 3 definitely and 2 more possibles plus an interesting one... André Tanneberger aka ATB reached the Top 20 in October 1999. He was born in 1973 in Freiberg, East Germany. The following month in 1999, Matthias Paul aka Paul van Dyk had 1 week of Top 20 glory. He was born 1971 in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany Jacob Dilssner aka Wankelmut had a duet with the Australian Emma Louisa in 2014. He was born in 1987 in Friedrichshain, a suburb of East Berlin. The possibles are: MC Sar was born in 1965 in Berlin and Oliver $ - together with Jimi Jules in 1982 - was also born in Berlin: in both cases, it is not certain whether it was East or West Berlin. Finally, Joachim Krauledat aka John Kay was the frontman for Steppenwolf. He was born in 1944 in Tilsit which was in East Prussia, then just about still part of the Greater German (Nazi) Reich. Now it's in Russia! There may be more of course...
  18. You are correct to an extent in terms of their birth place. However, when both parents are born elsewhere, in this case Manchester, England, I have taken a subjective view. This happened a lot with U.S. servicemen in Germany and Brits born in India - Cliff Richard and Engelbert Humperdinck were clearly English...
  19. Yes! Indonesia it is: I am grateful for the corrections and additions.
  20. Anyone born between 1918 and 1941 and between 1945 and 1992 in the seven states that made up Yugoslavia was definitely a citizen of that country at that time. Rita Ora may say, correctly, that she was born in Kosovo in 1990 but the United Nations said she was born in Yugoslavia. Iyaz aka Keidran Jones was born in Tortola, the British Virgin Islands.
  21. You are right - 102 it is - thank you!
