Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Down Under" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Men At Work

This hugely successful band of the early eighties reached the top in both the UK and the US with this single.
2. "Spinning Around" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Kylie Minogue

Back in 1988, Kylie kick started her UK music career whilst still appearing in "Neighbours" with the highly embarrassing "I Should Be So Lucky". Over the years however, she improved her credibility somewhat and has to date achieved 6 number one singles and a further 18 top ten hits in the UK alone.
3. "Two Little Boys" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Rolf Harris

The popular bearded children's presenter/cartoonist was number one in the UK for a whole 6 weeks at the end of 1969 continuing into 1970 and in fact was number one when I was born. Kind of sweet that, considering I was my mum's second little boy!
4. "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Baz Luhrmann

This suitably bizarre single hit the top in 1999 for the enigmatic film director, whose movies include "Moulin Rouge". The track features spoken lyrics (from actor Lee Perry) in the form of advice given on Graduation Day.
5. "Somethin' Stupid" (with Robbie Williams) Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Nicole Kidman

Strange set up this one was. She'd only just split with husband Tom Cruise and then all of a sudden there were all these rumours of an affair with ex-Take That pretty boy Williams. The gossip was fuelled still further by the release of this, a cover of Frank and Nancy Sinatra's 1967 chart topper.
6. "Kiss Kiss" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Holly Valance

Helped along by a video that appeared to feature the ex-"Neighbours" actress wearing absolutely nothing, except with some strategically placed light beams, this song reached number one midway through 2002 in the UK.
7. "Gotta Get Thru This" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Daniel Bedingfield

New Zealander Bedingfield achieved the rare distinction of reaching the UK number one spot without being hyped to the point of saturation by the warped moneybags music industry, which made a refreshing change.
8. "Sealed With A Kiss" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Jason Donovan

The second of four number ones, Donovan perhaps never really achieved the "cool" status now applied to ex-"Neighbours" colleagues like Kylie Minogue and, in particular, Guy Pearce. Still, he had a successful stint in the West End production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", and managed to sue a British tabloid over allegations about his private life.
9. "Ooh Aah...Just A Little Bit" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Gina G

Aussie Gina G represented the United Kingdom (how does that work then?) in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1996. She came in 8th.
10. "Don't Call Me Baby" Which of these Australian or Kiwi artists had a UK number one with this song?

Answer: Madison Avenue

This song reached the UK number one spot in May 2000. The act featured producer Andy Van Dorsselaer and former nude model Cheyne Coates on vocals.
