So what song holds the record for most weeks at #1?

[Pale Blue Dot]

And I can't promise I won't go to bed before the answer is revealed!

[Kenneth ken]

1. Bette Davis Eyes

by whoever did it. That song was annoying and seemed to be on the radio for far too long.

edit- actually, by that criteria (annoying and on radio too long) a lot of songs fit.

yeah, that's my cut-n-paste answer.

[Pale Blue Dot]

2. Nope. The record holder is much more recent.

[RandomKoolzip]

3. Boyz II Men, "End of the Road?"

Oh, man, two for two would be great here...

[Pale Blue Dot]

5. Once again, you're very, very close.

I suspect you'll have the answer edited almost before I can finish typing this...

[RandomKoolzip]

7. Boyz II Men, "Some other Song I Can't Remember?"

or is it "I'll make love to you?"

[Pale Blue Dot]

8. 1ST HINT: It was a duet. nt

[RandomKoolzip]

9. Rondstadt and Neville, "Don't Know Much?"

[Pale Blue Dot]

13. Nope. #2. You were closer before. Read clarification of hint #1 below.

[Kenneth ken]

10. ???

If it's Boyz II Men, doesn't that automatically make it a 4some thing?

Didn't they do a song with mariah Carey? Is that going to be the answer; wouldn't that be a 5-thing-some

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. OK: To be clear, it was a 5-something thing.

Or, a duet between a group and a solo "artist".

[Fenris]

12. So he was right then?

It was BIIM & Carey?

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. Yes, he was right.

But does he know the song title? I'll give him partial credit so far.

[RandomKoolzip]

21. Oooh, the title? "The Belgians Want my Luggage."

Right?

[Fenris]

23. ugh -- it's called "one sweet day"

And I will not reveal how I know that. Ever.

[RandomKoolzip]

24. REALLY?! Holy shit, I'd never heard of that song....

I remember "End of the Road" being the standard bearer for that title back when I had enough time on my hands to give half a shit. Wasn't that the record holder for a few years?

Boyz II Men are far richer than they deserve to be, in any case.

[Fenris]

25. They deserve to be poor

IMHO

[RandomKoolzip]

29. Everybody deserves to make a comfortable living...

But to become ludicrously wealthy by doing duets with Mariah Carey while wearing matching baseball caps and holding walking sticks for style purposes is just beyond the pale for me.

[Pale Blue Dot]

27. DING DING DING. You get the other part of the credit!

It's amazing to me how few people even remember the "biggest single of all time" (not my words. Billboard's).

Guess it wasn't that big.

[Fenris]

28. A lot of us made a conscious effort to forget it

[RandomKoolzip]

19. Did they ever do a "duet?" Fuck if I know or care....

[Kenneth ken]

22. you BETTER START caring mister

I was counting on you for the answer, since you got the Boys II Men part.

:P

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Color Me Badd and Yahoo Serious, "Steal my Virginity, You

Toesucking Mugwump?"


That's GOTTA be it...

[Pale Blue Dot]

18. LOL nt

[Kenneth ken]

15. ok so

that still won't really help me; but it will probably help someone else, so thanks for the clarification.

[Fenris]

4. That damned "Macarena"

:grr:

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. Nope. Not even top 40.

Although Billboard doesn't count airplay at weddings.

[everythingsxen]

17. WE LIKE THE MOON!!!

Am I right?!

[I AM SPARTACUS]

20. "The Drone Emanating from the White House"...

...but then, it's impossible to go broke underestimating the taste of the Amurhikan public...

[Armand]

26. Was it a Backstreet Boys song?

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. I don't know, but I bet it SUCKED
