    Non-stop OTF Music quiz

    Hah...that was my guess, too. With who, though? Yazoo and The Assembly? I think he was clear of DM by then.

            The answer to question 14 is neither Vince Clarke nor Trevor Horn.

            The person in question has decidedly less musical talent than any of the answers put forward so far.

                    Keith Harris? Didn't the duck and the monkey have different songs out at the same time?

                          I've read about this before - am I right in thinking it's the '1980s Berbatov', Steve Archibald, appearing with Scotland and Spurs?

                            Yes, indeed - Steve Archibald is the right answer. In the same show he appeared with BA Robertson and the Scotland squad for their World Cup song, and also with Chas and Dave and the Spurs squad for their FA Cup song.

                                  Not sure it's as many as 18, but Depeche Mode often get mentioned in lists of bands to have alot of hits without ever reaching number one.

                                    No to all of those I'm afraid, though interestingly (or not) I think Bruce Springsteen would be the answer to #11 if we were talking about the US charts.

                                    I was actually convinced before asking this that Depeche Mode were the answer to #11 but they've "only" had 14 top ten hits. Janet Jackson's narrowly missing out as well with 17.

                                    To narrow it down a bit :
                                    #11 are an American rock band
                                    #12a got their first top 40 hit in 1978
                                    #12b are a 90s indie band who I think are fairly popular on this board (or at least with a section of the posters)
                                    #13 are a 90s indie person, though some pedant might pull me up on that.
                                    All of those acts are still active and each of them has released an album in the last three years.

                                          #13 - PJ Harvey? Based solely on the person/band pedantry.

                                            Aargh, didn't think that was so transparent but that is indeed the correct answer. I'm just not very good at clues am I? I can never find the middle ground between "they are a musical act who recorded some music" and "their name starts with PJ and ends with Harvey". Still, good work.

                                              I thought Bon Jovi had a number 1 single with "Living on a Prayer".

                                              Number 12 must be Belle and Sebastian.

                                                Nope (number 4, and their biggest hit in the UK was actually this dirge) and nope.

                                                    I should think that Regal Zonophone had loads of big-selling records prior to 1966 because they released records by many major stars like Gracie Fields and George Formby. So I guess you're saying they only had one hit record in the era of the pop charts prior to 1966.
