Answer: Rip

Bill Haley and His Comets had a number 25 hit with "Rip It Up" on the US pop chart in 1956. It reached number four on the UK chart.

Little Richard took it the highest reaching number 17 on the US pop chart in 1956. His version reached number 30 on the UK chart. Elvis Presley had a number 27 hit with it on the UK chart in 1957; his version never charted in the US.

Answer: Say

Ricky Nelson had a number four hit with "Believe What You Say" on the US pop chart in 1958. It never charted in the UK.

It was his fourth gold record in the US, (you had to sell 1,000,000 copies for a gold disc in those far off days).
3. These "____ In White Satin" that The Moody Blues sang about really confused me.

Answer: Nights

"Nights In White Satin" gave The Moody Blues quite a run on the UK chart. It reached number 19 in 1967, number nine in 1972 and number 14 in 1979. On the US pop chart it reached number two in 1972.
4. What a nosy lot The Hollies were, wanting me to "Look Through Any _____", the very idea.

Answer: Window

"Look Through Any Window" sang the Hollies in 1965. It reached number four on the UK chart but only climbed to number 32 on the US pop chart.

Stevie Wonder had a number one on the US pop chart with his first chart entry back in 1963 "Fingertips - Pt 2". It never charted in the UK. He had to wait until 1984 for his first UK number one "I Just Called To Say I Love You". He did get to number one in the UK with "Ebony and Ivory" in 1982 but that was a duet with Paul McCartney; it was also a number one on the US pop chart.

Answer: Mother

Queen had a UK number 31 hit with "Tie Your Mother Down" in 1977. It reached number 49 on the US pop chart. Not one of their biggest hits, I think.

Their biggest and most well known hit must be "Bohemian Rhapsody" It reached number one on the UK chart in 1975 for nine weeks and then in 1991 it went to number one again for five weeks. On the US pop chart it reached number nine in 1976 and then it went to number two for one week in 1992.

Answer: Standing

Elton John, like Queen, had a song that wouldn't go away. "Candle In The Wind" was a UK number eleven hit in 1974. Then in 1988 a live version went to number five and in 1997 the "Diana" version went to number one for five weeks. In the US the 1988 live version reached number six and the 1997 "Diana" version reached number one and it stayed there for 14 weeks. In Canada it spent three years in the top 20 and 45 weeks at number one. The "Diana" version is said to be the fastest selling single of all time and the biggest selling single of all time with world sales of 33,000,000 in the first three months and over 37,000,000 later. It was also a record 28th number one hit for producer Sir George Martin.
