Virtual Book of Hit Singles - "M"
Timo Maas' first hit was Der Schieber. Should say 'four members of McFly'. Jesse McCartney's second hit was Right Where You Want Me. Mike McGear's middle name (Michael) should be mentioned. Great stuff as usual, though (including a couple of things I never realised such as Michael & Marcella Woods being siblings)!

Virtual Book of Hit Singles - "L"
Let The Music (Lift You Up) featured Darlene Lewis, not Darlene Love. Lovebug, Lovefreekz, Loveland and Lucid should have mentions of each other in the biogs (even if some of them are almost adjacent!), assuming it is the same Mark Hadfield in each. Other than that, great stuff as usual!

Lobo's 2nd hit was I'd Love You To Want Me. "actress" is misspelt in Lindsay Lohan's entry. Should be Edem Ephraim. Should be quotes around 'Left-Eye'. Lost Witness's final hit was Did I Dream (Song To The Siren). Love Inc who charted in 1991 are a different act. Should be 'American' in Love Tribe's bio. Great stuff as usual, though!

She released an album in 2013 (although it didn't do anything).

Keith Lemon should have a link to Bo Selecta/Avid Merrion. Lemonescent's 3rd hit was Help Me Mama. Adam Levine's birth name does not need to be mentioned in his biog. Olivia Newton-John has had more weeks at #1 than Leona Lewis (although they were not solo hits, she was individually credited). Footprints In The Sand did not reach its #25 peak until 2008. A great read as usual, though!

'Won' is misspelt in Lady Antebellum's biog. Helen Marnie is misspelt in Ladytron's biog. Las Ketchup only had 3 members at the time of their only hit. Other than that, great stuff as usual!

The person you *may* be thinking of turned 20 later on in 1978, so will not appear here.

Virtual Book of Hit Singles - "K"
Kinks - Supersonic Rocket Ship has its first week wrongly split from the rest. Kevin K*tchen's name (replace the * with an 'i') has gone a bit wrong... Alani Gibbon of Kleshay was also in Anotherside. Apart from that, great stuff as usual!

TOTP thread
Never realised the Daniel Pearce bit either! Checking Kelli-Leigh on Wikipedia - am I the only person who thought that Jax Jones was the singer on I Got U? And I've no idea if this is true or not, but I Wanna Feel's Wikipedia page claims that Daniel Bedingfield sings on the track...

Virtual Book of Hit Singles - "K"
George Best - A Tribute credited Peter Corry. Nicole Kidman is US-born. Killers ft Lou Reed's hit was called Tranquilize. Bianca Kinane appeared on Stars In Their Eyes in 1995 (according to Wikipedia). Other than that, great stuff, and have a good Christmas!

Stream-Only Top 100 Hits
All About That Bass sold 1 copy when at #33 - its highest streaming-only position was #53. I believe DJ Snake - Turn Down For What had 1 week in the top 75 on streaming-only when the download was briefly unavailable for some reason.

Virtual Book of Hit Singles - "K"
Preeya Kalidas' hit with Skepta is missing. Mick Karn was also a member of Rain Tree Crow (who were a re-formed Japan under a different name). Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus is spelled wrongly. Kavana's 6th hit was Special Kind Of Something. R Kelly's 2003 hit should be Step In The Name Of Love/Thoia Thoing. Other than that, great stuff (and I never realised that Lee-O and Leo The Lion were the same person)!

Virtual Book of British Hit Singles - "J"
Grace Jones is generally considered Jamaican. Jungle Brother's note should mention that it peaked in 1998. Junior Jack's Thrill Me has incorrect capitalisation. Great stuff as usual, though!
-
Virtual Book of British Hit Singles - "J"
'name' is misspelt in Jacksons' biog. Jam & Spoon should have a cross-reference to Storm. Joni James' real name is Giovanna Babbo. Ryuichi Sakamoto's name is misspelt in Japan's biog. Javine was born 27/12/81. Oris Jay appears to be from the UK. Jazzy Jeff's biog should mention the hits that he had with The Fresh Prince (a.k.a. Will Smith). Jimmy Eat World's 3rd hit was Sweetness, not Sweatness. Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers' biog should contain a reference to Les Hemstock's hit with Paul Van Dyk (Nothing But You). Elton John's 2009 hit was Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer). Marv Johnson's 4th hit was I'll Pick A Rose For My Rose. Other than that, great stuff as usual!

Chart weeks in which two or more 'classics' were released
New Radicals - You Get What You Give was also released that week. The following week saw both Eminem - My Name Is and Phats & Small - Turn Around.
-
Virtual Book of British Hit Singles - "I"
Il Padrinos should mention Dave Lee's other aliases. Intenso Project were a vocal/production group (Ben Ofoedu also sang on Phats & Small's 1999 hits). Apart from that, great stuff as usual!
-
Virtual Book of British Hit Singles - "H"
Hot Action Cop's hit was Fever For The Flava. Paul Heaton (Housemartins) also had a hit as Biscuit Boy. Ben 'Huff' Langmaid was part of La Roux (at least Wikipedia claims it is the same person!). Apart from that, great stuff!
-
Virtual Book of British Hit Singles - "H"
Hepburn's 3rd hit was Deep Deep Down. Paul Masterson (Hi-Gate) should have a cross-reference to his other aliases (e.g. Yomanda). Faith Hill's 2001 hit was Breathe (a re-mix of her 2000 hit). Ma I Don't Love Her featured Faith Evans, not Faith Hill. Hithouse's d.o.d. is wrong. Hives' first hit was Hate To Say I Told You So. Honeyz's description could mention Celena subsequently being in Anotherside and Mariama formerly being in Solid Harmonie. Other than that, fab stuff!

Previous Chart Show Presenter Bloopers
Mark Goodier - saying that Ian Van Dahl's Castles In The Sky reached #1 Wes - 'Will this week's #1 be the one remaining new entry or the one remaining non-mover?' JK & Joel - saying that The Pigeon Detectives' album was 'out tomorrow' when they had just announced it as a new entry a few minutes earlier
