Hi, Karen... :)
You got 2 out of 3...
...I'm afraid that #19 is incorrect, as 'Cherry Pie' did not reach #1 on the charts...

Do you think these are too difficult? ???
I thought that having only two 'key' words would make it a bit more challenging...(and perhaps tougher for people to 'google')...
#11. 'Every Breath You Take' - Police
Good job with that one, Paul! :)

Some spring right out at you from first glance...and then some take a while to 'form'...

And 'challenging' it is! :D

Rather embarrassingly, it should have 'sounded' more familiar to me (as I answered it in Henk's quiz! :-[)
#7. 'Endless Love' - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie (got 'em the right way round this time!)
