[Mamyalynne]

But not number one every time, I take your point.

> Which song that has been number one in the UK in four different years?

The (or, at least, ONE) answer to that is obviously Unchained Melody:

1955 - Jimmy Young
1990 - The Righteous Brothers
1995 - Robson & Jerome
2002 - Gareth Gates

Agreed Steve is a bit awry with original answer then.

He's in good company... :-)

Obviously, this is just a bit of fun but it does illustrate how quiz setting is many times harder than quiz playing.

Whenever you see something like "I heard this question back in the very late eighties and to my knowledge, I believe these are the only three artists this applies to.", the bells go off...

[Mamyalynne]

Quiz setting is indeed hard, have tried it myself albeit on a small scale.

[MarkRae]

I do a fair bit of it - I'm doing it right now, in fact - and it does get easier with time...

[ludwig]

Thanks. I'd never heard of Bad News or Braids.

[ludwig]

sorry that was for mamyas earlier answer about bo rap.

[Mamyalynne]

Neither had I.

[Steve.5]

You were correct mark with your answer mine was just a lesser smartr Yabbie one.

But perhaps 4 differnent years in the 20th century should have been the correct question

[MarkRae]

Well, that would narrow it down considerably. Unchained Melody is the only song which has hit the No 1 spot by four artists in any century. After that, I doubt any song has made it more than twice in the same century...

Does that mean my answer at 22:43 was right? Yipppeeee!

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen was number one in 4 different years- 1975/76 and 1991/1992. Each spell at number one was in December and January and therefore straddled two years
