it is based on singles chart. no albums.


Well, yes. But usually you’ll hear about a song “reaching its highest ever chart position” for example, when it goes from say number 15 to number 2. So it’s a good job I checked.

"You're History" is Shakespear's Sister (unsure if the spelling mistake was deliberate or not), the band Siobhan Fahey formed after leaving Bananarama. "Pyjamarama" is Roxy Music. And I think "I Surrender" was a rock band from the early 1980s, so I'll guess Rainbow, but that might be completely wrong.

6) You're History - Shakespeares Sister (James Bentley)
7) Sad But True - Metallica (Juddernaut88)

OK, I'll have a couple of guesses at the remaining ones. "Seven Drunken Nights", I genuinely can't place at all, it doesn't even ring a vague bell. I'll guess at the Pogues, as it sounds like their sort of title. "Independent Love Song" I'm pretty sure was a solo female artist, but not one of the uber-famous ones. Suzanne Vega, maybe?

Ah, that'll be The Dubliners, then.

Re: The Greatest Hits Quiz!

Postby KrazeeEyezKilla

Yes. They did The Irish Rover together in 1987. Seven Drunken Nights was a Top 10 hit in Britain which surprised me a bit.
