11 Song instead of a kiss - Alannah Myles

19 Wasn't that a party - The Irish Rovers

28 Hero- Nickleback

... off to find one more



35 Wild Horses - Gino Vannelli


Whistledog!! You are not allowed to answer 44!!!!! It's mine!!! ;D 8)


Hello Tam! :) You've go 3.5 correct answers, 'cause #28 isn't Nickelback (but you're close).
The Irish Rovers were simply known as The Rovers over here, at least by the time of this particular single.

8. Ringo - Lorne Green
25. Which Way You Goin' Billy - the Poppy Family
43. Wildflower - Skylark


Those three are all right, Gaylon! 8)

Can i guess now on the Bonus Point?  I am going to say 'Song Instead of A Kiss' by Alannah Myles, because if it did chart outside of Canada somewhere, I will be pleasantly surprised.  I know in America, she never made it beyond 1990

Hi there Henk

I only know 1 and 1/2, I think....

#34 Wash Your Face In My Sink - Jazz Warriors

#37 The Langley Schools Music Project - but I don't recognise the song.

I've heard some other recordings by #37, some of them are really uplifting, to hear kids play and sing with such enthusiasm, however it's the sort of thing that you couldn't listen to a whole album!
I reckon this is definitely the one that did *not* make the Dutch Top 40 ;)!

#26 Little Darlin' ~ Diamonds
#38 Put Your Head On My Shoulder ~ Paul Anka

Oy Vay!
Is it because the correct spelling is NickELback? lol ;D
My original post has them as Nickleback! ::)

Well, I can see where you're coming from...but it's not the Langley Schools. And the song * did * make the Dutch Top 40. In fact, it even hit #3 in 1965. :o

(FYI: Langley Schools have never made Dutch Top 40, or even bubbling under section).

Another is familiar but I can't remember number it was without clicking on the reamining ones again.

Your little misspelling has nothing to do with it, Tam. :)

It's just that the artist isn't Nickelback, that's all. But like I said, it's very close... ::)

It might be #15 or #44, 'cause those were hits in the UK (the others weren't).

It is not either of those two, it was #29.

It's nice to see that song did well abroad.  In Canada, it was her only #1, where it stayed for 4 weeks

To tell the truth, I never really cared much for Black Velvet (which hit #3, btw). I like Song Instead Of A Kiss better, so it's good to know it did well in her homeland. :)

I like 'Black Velvet' but lately not so much anymore, becuase every year, atleast 1 contestant on Canadian Idol or American Idol will sing it, and totally ruin my love for it.  lol

Since only a few of the remaining songs in this quiz hit the charts in UK and/or U.S....



...I think I might have to increase the limit. ::)

Close, but not quite...The title is correct, artist is not 100% correct.


#34, the artist is the Dream Warriors! I was getting confused with their other song, My Definition Of a Boombastic Jazz Style.

...which wasn't a hit in The Netherlands, oddly enough.


Dream Warriors is the correct answer, Graham. :)

I've increased to limit to 7 (seven).

Last one I know

44 Superstar - Love Inc

And it's all yours, Tam! :)

15. Powerless (Say What You Want) - Nelly Furtado

I believe that does it for me

Oh, and if I'm allowed a new guess at the non-charting Dutch tune - is it "Wildflower?"

15. Powerless (Say What You Want) - Nelly Furtado

One more to add to your score, Andrew. 8)

I'm beginning to think some of these songs never charted in Canada... :-\\


Oh, and if I'm allowed a new guess at the non-charting Dutch tune - is it "Wildflower?"


One might expect you to be right...but once again, you're wrong. :\'(

"Wildflower" reached #23 in 1974. Impressive, what?

16 | Sweet Lui Louise - Ironhorse (a short-lived group formed by Randy Bachman)
18 | A Routine Day - Klaatu (This song is noted for having the first ever Canadian animated music video)
36 | Beautiful Goodbye - Amanda Marshall

All right, Jason! :) Did these songs do well in Canadian charts? ??? I know they didn't chart in UK, and Ironhorse only reached #36 in U.S.

Sweet Lui-Louise hit #26

Beautiful Goodbye hit #5

Sweet Lui-Louise was a hit in the UK, but it stalled at #60

A Routine Day hit #82

OK. Thanks.  :)  Now without giving away too much I can reveal that one of these three did better in Dutch Top 40... ::)

Didn't know that...(but then, I only have information on UK Top 40). Anyway, it wasn't a big hit.

OK. Thanks.  :)  Now without giving away too much I can reveal that one of these three did better in Dutch Top 40... ::)

And I bet it was 'A Routine Day'?  Even though Klaatu had several big and small hits within Canada, they always seemed to be better known Internationally

And I bet it was 'A Routine Day'?  Even though Klaatu had several big and small hits within Canada, they always seemed to be better known Internationally


Klaatu would be the obvious choice. I mean, #82...that's easy to beat. And to be honest, they did...marginally. But they never made Top 40, so you're still wrong.

Which means I can't give away the bonus anymore, 'cause the answer would be Klaatu, and I already said that. :-\\ :\'(

The limit is now off, so have another go. :)

28 | Chad Kroeger & Josey Scott (I have the soundtrack)

That's who I was looking for. :) The song wasn't a big hit in The Netherlands, and I'm not so sure about the movie either.

I recognize just one more ...

#29 is "On the Outside" by Roch Voisine

Only one...?  :-\\ That's a bit disappointing. I was thinking you'd know at least three more (#12, #13 and #23).

Well, I'd better bring out the hints then.

12. Hint makes me think of Miquel Brown, but I can't name any song but the one I'm assuming the hint references

Those ones sound so familiar, but I can't quite place them :(

A guess on the song in #3 .. is it 'Girl, I've Been Hurt'?

12. Hint makes me think of Miquel Brown, but I can't name any song but the one I'm assuming the hint references


It is Miquel Brown. :) Song title is Nearly 100%.

A guess on #23 .. is it Lime?

Those ones sound so familiar, but I can't quite place them :(


....not even with the hints? ???

A poor excuse for a follow up...but that's the one I was looking for. 8)

No, it's not Lime. And it isn't Voggue either, in case you were considering them. The answer is in the (bolded) initials... ::)

....not even with the hints? ???


I am drawing blanks I am afraid :-

I knew it wasn't Voggue lol  I have no clue who it could be.  Based on the year, I can tell you that it probably wasn't a hit here :(

I am drawing blanks I am afraid :-[


I was revising them as you were typing, so maybe you should have another look. :)

...and if you're still drawing blanks, I might as well put this one asleep. :-\\

37. Must be something by Lucille Starr?

37. Must be something by Lucille Starr?


You've got the right artist, Andrew! :)

That's your last offering? ???

Oh, what the heck...

07. This singer is better known for his collaboration with Finnish dj Zyntherius, when they remade a Corey Hart song. This song however is a remake of a Nelly song.
Now that you mention it, this sounds a lot like "Hot in Herre." I think it is, even. I don't have any idea who the singer is, though.


Right you are! :) It is indeed "Hot In Herre".
Now for the artist... funny you should have a Corey Hart quote for a sig line and not know who remade the very tune.



12. It's Miquel Brown with a song that's Nearly 100%...
How about 99.9%?


Close...but not Perfect... ::)


13. One of the many remixes of a song about the absence of sounds, by Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber with additional singer.
Is it called "Silence" then?


Correctamundo. 8)


21. Reggaeband around producer John Forbes, with a song about what's now called a triple jump. One of their other songs is Piccadilly Hop.
Sorry, I've got nothing.


I wouldn't worry if I were you. I'm beginning to think the song only charted in The Netherlands.


23. It's Tony DaCosta, Allan Coelho and Paul Silva, with a song about what you could call dangerous liaisons.
Are they called TAP, then? And the song... um... "Risky Business?"


TAP is getting very close, but the title is still (way) off. Again, looks like this song only charted in The Netherlands.


37. It's Lucille Starr with a song about a girl, and it's not Jolie Jacqueline.
Can't get any further with this one...

39. Two sisters with a song about a holy person. One of the two wrote "Heart Like A Wheel", as sung by Linda Ronstadt.
No idea ... I don't think the title's gonna be in English, so I don't imagine I'll be able to randomly attack it that way.

42. This song sold over 1.5 million copies in 35 countries and was translated in over 70 languages (although I don't recall ever having heard a Dutch version...). The singer/songwriter is included in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
No clue


And I'm afraid I'll have to give those three away too.

#7 is Tiga.  I have the CD single of "Sunglasses at night" by Tiga and Zyntherius.  I didn't know it was the same Tiga who did Hot in Herre

#13 did sound familiar to me, and now I know why ... It's Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan

I know Heart Like A Wheel was written by one of the McCarrigle Sisters, so the song in #39 must be by Kate and Anna McCarrigle.  I only really know one song by them, and it's not the one in #39 :(

Well, according to my information it is. :) (FYI: "Sunglasses At Night" only hit #35 over here, so that wasn't a big hit either)

It was Anna who wrote "Heart Like A Wheel", so you're quite right. 8) This song was their only Dutch Top 40 hit, I'm afraid, so if you're not familiar with it I'll have to give it away.

Here's some trivia ... Kate McCarrigle is the mother of singers Rufus and Martha Wainwright.  Their father is American singer Loudon Wainwright III

I don't expect the remaining ones to be answered anymore, so...


10. The artist is Neil Young, but do you know the song?
        The song is Comes A Time

12. It's Miquel Brown with a song that's Nearly 100%...
        The song is Close To Perfection

21. Reggaeband around producer John Forbes, with a song about what's now called a triple jump. One of their other songs is Piccadilly Hop.
      Hip Skip And Jump - Chalawa (yeah, I realize the hint may have put you on the wrong foot...but does it really matter?)

23. It's Tony DaCosta, Allan Coelho and Paul Silva, with a song about what you could call dangerous liaisons.
        My Forbidden Lover - Tapps

37. It's Lucille Starr with a song about a girl, and it's not Jolie Jacqueline.
        The song is Colinda

39. Two sisters with a song about a holy person. One of the two wrote "Heart Like A Wheel", as sung by Linda Ronstadt.
        Complainte Pour Ste Catherine - Kate & Anna McGarrigle

41. Probably the hardest one in this quiz. I don't think it was a hit in Canada, so I'll give you the answer.
        I'm Lonely - Hollis P. Monroe

42. This song sold over 1.5 million copies in 35 countries and was translated in over 70 languages (although I don't recall ever having heard a Dutch version...). The singer/songwriter is included in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
        Comme J'Ai Toujours Envie d'Aimer - Marc Hamilton

I don't know any of those that were remaining, but it was nice to hear songs I didn't know about.  As always, a fantastic quiz Henk! 8)

Here's some trivia ... Kate McCarrigle is the mother of singers Rufus and Martha Wainwright.  Their father is American singer Loudon Wainwright III


That explains... I noticed they'd been touring with Loudon Wainwright (a lot!), but since the sites I visited were all in French I failed to make the connection.

The sisters are still touring and recording, aren't they?


I don't know any of those that were remaining, but it was nice to hear songs I didn't know about.  As always, a fantastic quiz Henk! 8)


So neither of those remaining was a hit in Canada? ??? Just asking, 'cause I don't have any information on Canadian charts.

They do still record, yes

Colinda by Lucille Starr was the only one that charted of those remaining.  I can't find a chart position for that Neil Young song, so I can only assume it was not popular here.  From his album 'Comes A Time', the track 'Four Strong Winds' did chart though

Thanks for the info. :) It's always amazing to find acts that weren't popular in their home country but did well abroad (like Tapps or Lucille Starr in this case). I take it though that Neil Young did manage to score other solo hits (other than the one you mentioned). ???

Neil Young did have lots of hits yes.  I'm not sure what his biggest was in Canada, but broken down, his biggest hits per decade were:

70s: Heart of Gold
80s: American Dream (with Crosby, Stills and Nash)
90s: Harvest Moon


Here's more trivia for you about some of the songs in your quiz:

- By the time Love Inc. became International success in the 2000s, they had long since called it quits.  'You're a Superstar' was a Canadian hit in 1998

- 'Shakin' All Over' was released in Canada under the name Chad Allan and the Expressions, which was the original name of the Guess Who before Burton Cummings joined

- Legendary producer/pianist David Foster, best known for 'Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire' was the keyboardist for Skylark

:)

Neil Young only scored hits in the 1970s over here, Heart Of Gold being the biggest one (solo). CSN&Y also only hit the charts in the 1970s; their biggest hit was Teach Your Children.

:)


Some of this I already knew, some I didn't. The "Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire" never was a hit over here.

Most of the artists in my quiz were one hit wonders over here, with a few exceptions, like:

Lucille Starr
The French Song (Quand Le Soleil Dit Bonjour Aux Montagnes) was a big hit in 1964/1965. It was charted for 32 weeks and hit #1 spot.
Colinda (b/w Crazy Arms) hit the charts in 1965, peaking at #3. It was charted for 21 weeks.
Jolie Jacqueline also was a hit in 1965. It was charted for 10 weeks and peaked and #19.
Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes (with Bob Regan) was a minor hit, only staying in charts for 2 weeks and peaking at #29.

R. Dean Taylor
Gotta See Jane was the least of his chart successes. It hit #32 and stayed in charts for 5 weeks.
Taos, New Mexico hit #22 in 1972 and was charted for 4 weeks.
There's A Ghost In My House hit #29 in 1974 and was also charted for 4 weeks.
Window Shopping got stuck in bubbling under section.

Paul Anka
He scored a total of 16 Top 40 hits. The most successful ones were Diana, Lonely Boy, Tonight My Love Tonight and Dance On Little Girl.
His final Top 40 entrance was (You're) Having My Baby, a duet with Odia Coates in 1974.


I think it goes without saying that Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Nelly Furtado and Celine Dion weren't OHW either...
