Congratulations to Aaron, who just edged Tony and Rich for the fastest time last week.
This week you need to select the artists that never had a #1 Billboard single. It’s not sudden death – if you get one wrong, you can keep going.

It’s pretty tough – I was surprised by some of the results. I scored 20/29 – I may have done better by just randomly clicking….
Can you beat my score?

Ouch, that was a tough one. Only 19/29 for me.
The scores are all between 18 and 20 so far – tight week.
18/29 with 2:10 left (I kept choosing/guessing until it stopped me.)
Yup – I think you get 29 guesses.
Nope, couldn’t beat you. 18/29 I leaned towards the underground FM rock bands as they never really aspired to that. But after that, much inaccurate guessing. I look forward to your doing a One Direction post
CCR are famous for having 5 #2 singles and no #1. I only know 1 One Direction song so don’t expect them anytime soon.
Heh! Thank God. That quiz was tougher than I expected.
20/29. It was hard.
You’re ahead so far!
18/29, and I switched my strategy halfway through and tried to pick ones I thought for sure DID get the #1 hit since it all seemed counter-intuitive anyway. Didn’t work.
It’s not intuitive, but it’s also not counter-intuitive….
All good stats if you are an NFL quarterback
Yes, but tougher than most Sporcles.
26/29 for me
Wow, you’re a long way ahead for now.
That was tougher than I thought it would be… 19/29… a few guesses went the opposite of what I thought.
It was totally counterintuitive in places.
I only got 16 before I ran out of guesses. That was hard.
Only one person over 20 so far – it’s a tough one.
I’d like to thank the Academy… lol.
..my mum.
Haha whut?
Sorry, I was talking about YOU thanking YOUR mum.
Oh yeah, if I ever won anything (unlikely) there’d have to be a whole cermony just to list the amazingness that is my Mom.
18/29 with 2:05 remaining. Last week’s success will definitely not become a success!
Most people recorded middling scores this week.
That was definitely a tough one – I pay zero attention to the Billboard charts so I have no idea who would never had a #1 there!
I don’t keep an eagle eye on it, but it’s interesting to find some stuff – it’s amazing CCR had five #2s and never a #1.
Too much time lookin out their back door, I guess lol.
18 of 29 – after a few obvious ones was pretty much a crap shoot. Yes definitely harder than most of these
It’s all just educated guessing.
23/29. That was a tough one… some there that I was surprised have had a number 1!
Yup, lots of them were surprising. 23 is a real good score.
