3. Celine Dion?

Answer: Because You Loved Me

Although "Because You Loved Me" and "I'm Your Angel" both were number one for six weeks, the former was on the charts 15 weeks longer, and therefore is judged the bigger hit.

All were number one for one week only except "That's The Way..." which was number one for two weeks.
5. Michael Jackson?

9. Which of these Bee Gees hits stayed longest at number one on the US Billboard charts?

Answer: Night Fever

And the Bee Gees wonder why they were stuck with the disco stigma. They were doing disco before "Saturday Night Fever", hitting #1 with "You Should Be Dancing". Beginning the last week in 1977, "How Deep Is Your Love" was #1 for 3 weeks, then "Stayin' Alive" for 4 weeks, then "Night Fever" for 8 weeks. "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" was their first #1 (for four weeks) way back in 1971.

"Physical" was #1 for ten weeks in 1981, by far her biggest single. "Magic" is next with 4 weeks at number one, followed by "I Honestly Love You" with 2 weeks at #1, and one week each at number one are "You're The One That I Want" and "Have You Never Been Mellow".

Answer: Endless Love

"Endless Love" was number one for nine weeks in 1981. It is Diana Ross's biggest hit as well.
12. How about Stevie Wonder?

Answer: Ebony And Ivory

These duets seem to give alot of artists their biggest hit. "Ebony And Ivory" with Paul McCartney was number one for seven weeks in 1982. It was also McCartney's biggest hit outside of the Beatles.
13. Besides his two big hits that were duets("Ebony And Ivory" with Stevie Wonder and "Say Say Say" with Michael Jackson), which song listed is Paul McCartney's biggest hit solo or with Wings?

Answer: Silly Love Songs

"Silly Love Songs" was number one for five weeks in 1976.

Answer: Take A Bow
