19 - BAAKKEERRRR - I’ll have a stab at… 2 (if I had to guess it’d be Could It Be Magic and Back For Good - would honestly struggle to name another song of theirs…)
Surprisingly, no.
You’d know Love ain’t here anymore.
The Jimmy Nail one?
Question 19.
Edit: Jimmy Nail was Ain’t no love.
12 - Zimmer -7
19 - Zimmer 2
Nope - didn’t know it. Mercifully, Take That were never massive in Oz (big, but not massive). It wasn’t until Back For Good broke that they really went gang-busters.
I went travelling to UK & Europe for 3 months in 1995. It was only when there that I realised just how big the mania associated with them was. Like, seriously HUGE!
12 - simmo41 - Based off knowing the fact they had more #1 albums than singles, I’m going to guess zero.
16 - simmo41 - I would have guessed Power of Love, but instead I’ll guess My Heart Will Go On because that came after her big early 90s peak
19 - simmo41 - If Zimmer is wrong with 2, I’ll guess with 1. Back For Good would definitely be one. I reckon Patience and Rule The World would also be up there but they’re post-Williams. Couldn’t think of any others.
If any of those are wrong, then I’ll take a swing at 18 with Michael Jackson
