Does anyone remember how that goes, even 18 months on?

Looks like I messed things up in this thread by not setting up dummy posts for the 2nd-4th section of G's so they will have to appear piecemeal in the thread rather than neatly stacked up at the top. A bit messy but there's not much I can do about it now. This part includes the million or so hits by Glee Cast (hopefully I've got the split between the credits as featured on the charts and those commonly used elsewhere right), the much-maligned Genesis and the rightly-maligned Gary Glitter. Gerry & The Pacemakers place in chart history as the first to hit number one with their first three hits was unique for decades, and Jess Glynne brings this part bang up to date. Oh, and Girls Aloud are included too. (from previous updates/suggestions, I have included all of them bar 1 - the Fearon/Galdes marriage was mentioned while dealing with Baby D, and with Fearon as an individual, I didn't think it worth mentioning a third time)

I'd say "You Keep me Hanging On" is not a very good example from 1986, and "Unbreak My Heart" from a decade later doesn't really belong either. "Manic Monday" would be a better 1986 example. Others from the mid-late 80s - "1999" by Prince, "Fairytale of New York" of course and "Gold" by Spandau Ballet from even a little bit farther back.

"Thrift Shop". It's dreadful.

Or perhaps Bre means "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" by Elmo & Patsy?

OK, you live in your own little world and everyone else can live in the real world.

They won't play it anyway - they never play the pre-release cover versions these days

Sounds even better on mute.

Yet you are getting it wrong time after time. Listen to Tim. He knows.

First part of the G's added Marvin Gaye leads this group, with over 200 weeks on chart. Two artists have totalled 11 weeks at number one - Art Garfunkel and Gareth Gates. I've included the Simon & Garfunkel hits under Art and Paul's individual entries as they are named individuals in the duo. Gloria Gaynor's long career is dominated by one song, as is the Gap Band's and probably Gina G's. Boris Gardiner, Gabrielle & Martin Garrix all made number one, as did Siedah Garrett & Barbara Gaskin in duos. Instrumental fans are catered for by Kenny G & James Galway and for the less serious we can look to Ali G & Gazza. Finally, as per the request in the "F" thread, I hope I've got the line-up for Gene Loves Jezebel right for the 86-87 period. As usual, any amendments/corrections welcomed

On now to the G's. Just under 400 artists, so split into 4 parts. A reminder of the notes and conventions used in creating the data: 1. The first rule is that all rules have exceptions, common sense (and my own inconsistencies) may sometimes take precedence 2. Act names - I've tried to reflect the act names as given on the charts, occasionally this is different from that shown on the label or sleeve/cover. If the chart credit is undeniably wrong (e.g. "Elizabethan Reggae") then common sense has been used. An initial "The" from artists names has almost always been dropped, a separator of "And" is usually replaced with an ampersand. 3. Personal names - I have tried to show "real" names of performers where possible, middle names are not shown unless they have some relevance to the stage name (e.g. it would not make sense to show Rihanna's real name as just Robyn Fenty). Where the name an individual goes by is a standard short form of his/her given name (e.g. if someone known as Andy is really an Andrew), I normally haven't bothered showing this. Diactritics are shown where possible, but the software used in compiling the data has difficult with some non-ASCII characters, and the ý in Mýa. I have not shown aritst names in anything other than the Latin script, so for artists whose "real" names are written in Cyrillic, Burmese or Korean for instance, I have used the transliteration as normally shown on the charts. Artists from Northern Ireland are shown thus, rather than being from either the UK or Ireland which hopefully will reduce arguments! 4. Dates of birth/death - Shown where I have found these while checking out other details. Any additional information gladly received 5. Band membership - Normally relates to their hitmaking period only. Changes in personnel before or after this are very rarely shown. Members are normally shown in alphabetical order (but with some exceptions - e.g. Crosby, Stills & Nash are treated in that order) for either the debut hit or the main part of the groups career, with changes usually noted in chronological order 6. Featured artists - This got complex! Where a combination of lead/featured artist ONLY had hit(s) together (e.g. Gotye featuring Kimbra) they are only shown as effectively one act. Where the lead artist has had other hits but the featured one isn't, the lead artist only has a separate full entry. Where either the featured artist has other credits, or both do, both have individual entries. The same (more or less) works with normal duos - for instance Simon & Garfunkel's hits are listed under both Art Garfunkel's and Paul Simon's solo careers. 6a The OCC has sometimes changed the credit shown on the chart during a chart run. In such cases I have tried to use the most inclusive credit. 7. Where a record has been in the charts as both a "normal" A-side and a Double A-Side (whether in combination with a track by the same artist or a different artist), it is shown with separate lines (e.g. "Last Christmas" by Wham!) 8. When a record has re-entered the chart with a different artist credit, I have normally amassed the two together (e.g. "Woman In Chains"). Which artist credit I have used depends on the song itself, and a note is attached showing that an alternate credit exists. 9. Remixes/Re-Recordings/Live Versions used to be charted separately and are shown as different hits, but current practice is for all versions to be collected and charted together, so for any chart runs of such tracks since the advent of the download era are normally added to the original hit version 10. Labels and catalogue numbers are completely omitted 11. EP/LP tracks are shown where known when the chart entry was credited to an EP/LP. If an EP was released on two different CD singles, it is usually the tracks of CD1 that are listed 12. Most of the "bio" information comes straight from Wikipedia (to save time), so there is the likelihood that a number of the entries contain mistakes. Please let me know of any of these, or if there's anything that you think is significant enough to be mentioned. I have tried to keep opinions out of them, and kept references to genres to a minimum as those tend to cause more disagreements than almost anything else. Honours such as knighthoods, OBE's etc. are shown. Oscars, Grammys & Brits are a work in progress and will eventually all be shown, less high profile awards (e.g. MOBOs, Mercury Prize, etc.) are unlikely to be listed unless a particular artist has achieved something extraordinary. 12a Close family relationships between hitmakers are shown where possible, and also in some cases to other famous people (e.g. it made no sense to write even a sketchy bio for Jane Wyman and not mention she was married to Ronald Reagan) 13. Cross-references ("See also....") are a work in progress, as are the marking of US number ones. Expect these to get more comprehensive as the series goes on 14. Alphabetisation - aritsts whose name is an acronym (and is pronounced as such), e.g. ABC are sorted as if the name is a series of spaced letters (i.e. A B C). All such acts are listed at the start of those with that initial. Where an acronymic (?) name is usually voiced as a word (e.g. ABBA) then it is indexed under that word. Numbers are treated as if they are spelled out, punctuation is ignored. Individuals are indexed firstly under their surname then their given name(s). For some artists, it can be difficult to determine whether a name is a given name followed by a surname, or whether the whole thing is to be treated as one name. In these cases (most of which involve seem to involve rappers), I have tried to use the sorting sequence used for that artist within Wikipedia categories. 15. Where an artist has had hits under two (or more) different names, they are merged (e.g. Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus). With some combinations (usually European production outfits), it can sometimes be difficult to identity which pairings work under which names! 16. Nationalities - I've tried to use the nationalities where people grew up rather than the place they happened to be born. Where there is some difference of opinion I have usually come down on one side of the coin or the other. Large groups are given under the likely most-common nationality (e.g. the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is shown as Austrian, even if a number of them may not have been). Club football teams of the modern era are usually shown as "Mostly British". Anonymous cover version acts may be shown without nationality. Where a country has changed name since the person was born, I have no hard and fast rule about which name to use but hopefully this should be clear either way. Where I know a person has changed or taken on a second citizenship I have mentioned it Index A was split between two threads - A-Akon and Alabama 3-Azzido Da Bass B - BB&Q-Bystanders C - C & C Music Factory-Miley Cyrus D - DB Boulevard-Dyverse E - EAV-George Ezra F - FAB-Fya

Don't think it's there yet?

Yes, good idea. I've edited my earlier post to remove the name

But that's hardly one country "snubbing" it - if Wikipedia can be believed the only other countries where it made the Top 10 were Korea, France, Flanders & Finland

Most of Abba's songs reaching number ones all over the world but barely registering in the US?

R Kelly - Bump 'n' Grind - (9 Weeks) 21/01/1995 -10-{8}-14-12-17-19-29-49-64

It would help if you explained a little better what all the numbers and the brackets mean

I can probably do some lists based on your first suggestion.

"Thrift Shop" again of course.

Part 31 added, that brings us to the end of the F's and approximately one-third of the way through the project. Only four long runners this time around - Billy Fury & Aretha Franklin of the oldies, Frankie Goes To Hollywood from the 80s and Nelly Furtado of more recent vintage. Fuse ODG of today's crop is included, as are the likes of Fun, Frankee and the Fugees who all reached number one. Frida is also here, but of course is better known elsewhere. Now here is where I am asking for a little bit of help to finish of the G's ready to start posting them next week. 1) Gene Loves Jezebel - I've been having trouble working out what their line up was during their 1996-97 hitmaking period. Can anyone clarify please? 2) Grange Hill Cast - I've just got them listed as "British male/female actor/vocal group, from the BBC TV show "Grange Hill"", but I'd like to name those actors who did the vocals on "Just Say No". I know there may well be several, but does anyone know which ones they were please?
