My Life In Music  UK Charts game quiz
"This quiz focuses on music that was popular at the most important times in my life, and the people in it."

15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  



1. My brother was born just over 18 months before I was, in May 1968. What was Cliff Richard's aptly titled number one single at the time?
    Good Times
    Bachelor Boy
    Baby You're Dynamite
    Congratulations


2. Rather coincidentally, when I was born early in 1970 - my mum's second little boy - the song "Two Little Boys" sat aloft the hit parade. Which Australian entertainer was responsible for this six week chart topper?
    Rolf Harris
    Terry Jacks
    Frank Ifield
    Barry Humphries


3. After a few rough years (my father passed away when I was just two years old), my mum decided it was time to take us on a well earned break in 1976, for my first overseas experience - to Canada. Montreal had recently hosted that year's summer Olympics, and the UK had won gold through John Osborn and Reg White. Which of these song titles, re-entering the charts that year, indicates the sport they won their medal for?
    Sailing
    Running Free
    Dancing Queen
    The Boxer


4. In 1980, my mum married a lovely bloke called Eric, who would, for the next 25 years, be the father I never really previously had. I recall my mum loving Fern Kinney's number one from that year, saying it described their relationship perfectly. My dad (as I called him from that day onwards) was less enthusiastic about the song! What was its title?
    Feels Like I'm In Love
    (Just Like) Starting Over
    A Woman In Love
    Together We Are Beautiful


5. The first record I ever bought (aside from the obligatory "Tiny Tots" or "Pinky & Perky" albums you buy as a child) was by Adam and the Ants. It spent five weeks at the top of the charts between May and June in 1981. Which single was it?
    Antmusic
    Prince Charming
    Stand and Deliver
    Goody Two Shoes


6. A lot of people would remember "The Chicken Song" as a hideous novelty record made by a certain cult television programme. I don't - it brings back the good times for me, because it was at the top of the charts when I walked out of the school gates for the very last time! Who released it?
    Spitting Image
    Fry and Laurie
    The Young Ones
    Blackadder


7. I played guitar (badly) and sang (marginally better) in many bands throughout my teens and twenties. A dance act obviously was so impressed with us that they stole the name of one of my bands, and had a top ten smash in 1995 with "Not Over Yet". What were they called?
    Deep Dish
    Grace
    N-Trance
    Happy Clappers


8. The song that was number one in 1997 at the time I bought my first house, with my then girlfriend, was based on Patrice Rushen's 1982 hit "Forget Me Nots". What was the smash hit version called, from a very successful film?
    Men In Black
    Deeper Underground
    My Heart Will Go On
    Breakfast At Tiffany's


9. I always find it highly amusing that the song that was number one when my wife committed herself to me by accepting my marriage proposal was called "Independent Women Part 1". Which girl group released this single?
    Destiny's Child
    TLC
    Sugababes
    Eternal


10. Since the turn of the millennium, I have gone some way to achieving my all time dream by having interviewed various music celebrities - many of them my former idols - for my website. The person I enjoyed interviewing the most was the guitarist from a 1980s band who had hits with "Shoplifters Of The World Unite" and "Ask" amongst others. What is his name?
    Will Sergeant
    Mick Jones
    Joey Santiago
    Johnny Marr
