Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Silly Love Songs' was the first title to hit number one for what band, fronted by former Beatle Paul McCartney?

Answer: Wings

'Silly Love Songs' was the third McCartney-written or co-written song to be the top single of the entire year (1976), joining 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' (1964) and 'Hey Jude' (1968).

2. Mariah Carey's first single from the album 'Butterfly' accomplished a rare feat in September of 1997: it debuted at number one on the Billboard pop chart. What was the song?

Answer: Honey

This was Mariah Carey's unprecedented THIRD debut at number one in the Billboard pop chart-- 'Fantasy' (1995) and 'One Sweet Day' (with Boyz II Men, 1995) were her previous two. Michael Jackson was the first to accomplish the feat with 1995's 'You Are Not Alone'.

3. The all-female band 'LaBelle' knocked Frankie Valli's 'My Eyes Adored You' from the top of the pop chart in 1975 with what song?

Answer: Lady Marmalade

The 'hook' of the song, 'Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir', for those of you unversed in French, translates to 'Do you want to sleep with me tonight'.

4. Frankie Valli (remember him from the last question?) hit the top of the charts again in 1978 with what single, titled exactly the same as the movie soundtrack on which it was released?

Answer: Grease

'You're the One That I Want' was the first single to go to number one from the 'Grease' soundtrack, which went on to become one of the best-selling movie soundtracks in history.

5. The romantic 1979 smash 'Reunited' was the sole number one hit for what duo?

Answer: Peaches and Herb

Herb Feemster and the original 'Peaches', Francine Barker, recorded 'Reunited'. For various reasons, Feemster has since performed with no fewer than two other women using the monicker of 'Peaches'.

6. What prototype 'girl band' remade Shocking Blue's 1970 number one hit 'Venus' into a 1986 number one hit?

Answer: Bananarama

'Venus' followed 'Go Away Little Girl', 'The Loco-motion', and 'Please Mr. Postman' as the fourth song of the rock era to hit number one twice by two different artists.

7. The oddly-named band Strawberry Alarm Clock scored a chart topper in 1967, with what nearly-as-bizarre song title?

Answer: Incense and Peppermints

Strawberry Alarm Clock was formerly named 'Thee Sixpence', which caused confusion with two other bands: the 'Syxpence' and the 'Sixpence'. The band knew a change was necessary. A random finger stab at the Billboard Hot 100 chart pointed out the Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever', which evolved into the band's final name.

8. In September of 1969, the top slot was occupied by what song, the only number one hit for the Archies?

Answer: Sugar, Sugar

Though contemporary critics bashed 'Sugar Sugar' for its bubblegum sound, it was popular enough to be remade several times, including a top 25 incarnation by Wilson Pickett in 1970.

9. David Gates, James Griffin, and Robb Royer formed a band that released the 1970 number one hit 'Make It With You'-- name the band.

Answer: Bread

Bread nearly broke up after their first album bombed, but decided to stick it out for 'one more album'. Good thing, too-- 'Make It...' was the impetus for the band to record several nationally popular singles.

10. Who had a 15-year lull on the charts before hitting number one in 1993 with 'I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)'?

Answer: Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf's 1977 'Bat Out Of Hell' remained on the Billboard album charts for an impressive 82 weeks, and holds the British record for longest-charting album at a stunning 450 weeks!
