It’s the last day of this month’s comp, and a great one. Good luck, everyone, for this one and the upcoming month’s competition.
So dopey me just typed eye of the tiger as the answer lol
😂😂Good one Heather10
Easily done when distracted by something or someone.
I can hear today’s song going around in my head lol. A great song.
My gut instinct was wrong with todays (27), I am glad I checked it before answering.
I missed a day again. I have been having a lot of trouble getting on the net. The Wi-Fi keeps going off on my laptop, but I can still use my tablet, which is strange. However, I get blocked from this site whenever I use a different device to log in. I had similar trouble on Wednesday as well. I checked Wednesdays yesterday morning.
Same here
None of them!
Exactly! It was ‘Open Up and Say Ahh’. I still have my copy.
Wrong on two counts – “its” should not have an apostrophe in it either 🤭
As far as I can see, the answer is a single on their 1988 album. Had to look this one up as I’d never heard of them, not my type of music!
It’s not mine either, but one did stand out over the other 3.
I just listened to it on YouTube, out of curiosity and I now vaguely recognise it, not what I was expecting from them though, I was expecting someone screaming at me until they made my ears and eyes bleed.
Do we have any Rock fans on here?
Poison are so good. I saw them live a couple of times in the 90s.
The facts supporting most of these questions relate mainly to the US charts. Today’s song No.4 in UK, but No.1 in US. I guess that’s where the quiz came from
That’s a shame 😕
China lol
Well today’s (21.07)is going to cause issues……
I thought I’d double check my answer and I’m not convinced I’ve got the right answer
I cannot see why it would cause any issues. My husband told me the answer straight away, but I double-checked, and his answer was the only one that came up.
Yes, I thought of the answer and that was the only one which came up for me. I looked at their discography and they had a no. 2 hit, do you remember it being no. 1 in a different category? Radio 1 and Capital did not always agree and there were other charts and chart shows which had different opinions.
I missed a day again. My excuse is that I went out with my husband.
I went out with my hubby too! But I didn’t miss yesterday… you must have had a better time than I did. 🤣
Where were these songs No.1 hits? It wasn’t in the UK, so what chart are we going by? I know it doesn”t make a difference to the answer, but after the ‘Locomotion’ confusion, we should be going by one specific chart, not different ones depending on where you are in the world.
After looking it up, they both got to no.1 in the US, but this is not an American site, otherwise today’s date would be 7.18.25. I am so glad it wasn’t the 8.8.25, as that would not have helped my point.
At least this question doesn’t point to the other answers being correct, along with the Locomotion we also had 0 – 1,000 Miles by the Proclaimers.
I think Daniel gets this quiz from an American site or something. But it’s okay. Doesn’t make it less fun to do.
Where does it say about No.1’s ? it’s just chart hits
It said it in the question about Roxette, which is the question I was referring to.
The same again with today’s answer, it only reached 7 in the UK.

“Careless Whisper” wasn’t a group’s hit, it was a solo artist
“Careless Whisper” is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter George Michael. Released as the second single from Wham!’s second studio album Make It Big (1984), it was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, with Michael producing the song.
But not sung by “Wham”, sung by George Michael. Call me pedantic if you like…!!…
That is right but you didn’t copy and paste the next bit; “Although the song was released as part of Make It Big, the single release is credited to either Wham! featuring George Michael (in the United States and several other countries) or solely to George Michael (in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and some nations in Europe).”
