Answer: Double

The Swiss duo was only active for four years, from 1983 to 1987, and recorded three albums. However, none of their singles was as successful as "The Captain of Her Heart", as this one made the charts in countries such as the UK, Germany, Norway, Italy, France, Canada and Austria.
2. British band T'Pau were fairly successful with their singles "Valentine" and "China in Your Hand". They also had a hit song which reached the first position in the Canadian Singles List, as well as the fourth place in both the UK and the US charts. Which song, which you might recognize from a "Pepe Jeans" advertisement, is this?

Answer: Heart and Soul

"Heart and Soul" was included in the band's debut album, "Bridge of Spies". T'Pau, led by its vocalist Carol Decker, disbanded in the 1990s, but Decker kept the name and uses it to perform as a solo artist.

Answer: Bad of the Heart

Written by Philip Andreula and Marilyn Rodriguez, and produced by Chris Barbosa (the same person who produced "Let the Music Play" by Shannon), "Bad of the Heart" was released by Lamond in 1990, and performed well in US charts, obviously much better than any other of his songs.

Answer: Groove

5. You might've heard of the R&B group Riff (I hadn't until now, by the way).

Most notably, three of their songs once made the Billboard Hot 100 charts, the most successful of them reaching number 25. Can you name that song?

Answer: My Heart Is Failing Me

Riff sang in the 1989 movie "Lean on Me", and released two albums, "Riff" in 1991, and "To Whom it May Concern" in 1993. Besides "My Heart Is Failing Me", which also reached the 6th position in the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Billboard, two of their singles, "If You're Serious" and "White Men Can't Jump", also made the Billboard Hot 100 charts, but in a quite low position (88 and 90 respectively).
6. "My Heart Belongs To You" was the most successful hit for a New Yorker, who toured around the world with renowned artists such as Aerosmith, Sting, Bryan Adams, and Jimmy Page. Which singer-songwriter, also known for "I Need You Now", got to the number 28 place of the Billboard Hot 100 charts?

Answer: Russ Irwin

Irwin not only has performed with the greats, but has also written for the greats! He co-wrote "What Could Have Been Love" by Aerosmith, and the hit "Lollipop", sung by Japanese Lisa Hirako. He has also performed in important events like the Grammy Awards and the Academy Awards.
7. I'm sure most of us are familiar with Bonnie Tyler's greatest hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart". However, a cover version of this song by an English singer who represented her country in the 2000 edition of Eurovision launched her to fame. Who is this singer?

Answer: Nicki French

Nicki French released several cover versions of songs, and original songs during her career, such as "Dirty Den", "For All We Know", and "Did You Ever Really Love Me", but her most successful cover was "Total Eclipse of the Heart". The remake of Tyler's song was made in 1995, and it reached number two in the US Billboard Hot 100 charts.

All other three options are also British singers who have represented their nation in the Eurovision contest at some point.

The unique thing about this song is that it was mixed with a single covered by Janis Joplin and the Full Tilt Boogie Band, originally recorded by Garnet Mimms. Which song was this?

Answer: Cry Baby

Joss Stone and Melissa Etheridge performed a medley of "Cry Baby" and "Piece of My Heart" (the song was named with both titles separated by a slash) at the 47th edition of the Grammy Awards, as a tribute to Joplin. Joplin had also covered "Piece of my Heart", and she was the one who made the song famous even though it wasn't originally hers.
