Hello, all, While in lockdown, one of my colleagues has been organising monthly quizzes for everyone to join in. He asked us to send in our own ideas, so here's one I wrote a while back. Can you identify the titles of these 30 hit singles - all of which went to Number One in the UK charts? (They were all hits between the 1960s and the present day.) No prizes, this is just for fun. Send me a Secret Message with your answers and I'll post the solutions when you're done. Good luck, and enjoy!

here's a bit of trivia extra credit - which member of ELO Part 2 is credited with backing vocals on #1?

Is it Eric Troyer?

Spot on, Uno, Eric did indeed sing on that No 1 hit. Further down the list, another song in the quiz also has an ELO connection.

Not only are we tortured at Christmas, you have to inflict more pain to us in summer now..... (is it obvious that I'm not doing well here?)

As for the other song...nope.... But I'll keep looking....

after searching in vain for some of the emoji songs, I'm imagining Inigo Montoya speaking to me:
"I do not think that emoji means what you think it means"

I'm starting to think that orioles70 is onto something here...
