Sol Grundy Gary McKenzie Wham! took longer to break through in the US and “Wake Me Up..” became their first major hit in ‘84 (#1). As “Careless Whisper” was released next, it was decided to keep the Wham! name for ease of marketing. It worked - it was America’s biggest hit of ‘85. #popmaster
Sol Grundy Gary McKenzie ‘Named artist’ specifies, for instance, George Michael vs Wham!. So George hits with Mary J Blige or Elton John count but not “Last Christmas”. It does leave “Careless Whisper” in a tricky spot. #popmaster
Sol Grundy Verrrry nice scores! #Popmaster
Popmaster Pigeon Tidy 33! #Popmaster
Sol Grundy Gary McKenzie Then again #popmaster tends to be lenient on 3/10 so I would imagine it being given. It all depends on what’s written on the list at the time.
Sol Grundy Gary McKenzie Then I don’t know, when it comes to that sort of thing #popmaster has vacillated between inclusion and exclusion at various times.
Sol Grundy Gary McKenzie “Street Life” is allowed as she is named alongside The Crusaders. 4/10 #popmaster
Gary McKenzie Bless, “Rapture” was American #1. Great scores overall. #popmaster
Ian Wilson Selina JS 🏴🇩🇪🇬🇬🏴⚒️ “Smylers” The Fugees covered it afterwards, getting to the top of the UK charts. Roberta’s version topped America. RIP Roberta. #popmaster
Sol Grundy Thanks Sol. It was a tougher game today, perhaps reflecting coming to the end of the quiz year and possibly many Champions League qualifiers at this point. #popmaster
Lesley 🙊🛍🎧📻 It happens Lesley, I’m in the same boat. #popmaster
Selina JS 🏴🇩🇪🇬🇬🏴⚒️ Did Randy Crawford do ‘Killing Me Softly’? Are you thinking of Roberta Flack? (Or possibly The Fugees, but probably Roberta Flack!) #PopMaster
