Haha me too, was very confused. Thought it was some word play of wham sounding like one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I read number ones. Never even noticed the typo in the original screenshot! But to clear up the confusion, the last two British acts to have a UK No. 1 single were Wham! and The Beatles. Try it on your buddies in the pub tonight. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 If I hadn't looked up the official list I would have been thinking of all the British artists that had had number one songs since Wham were around and trying to work out why they aren't considered British, and that would only have been up until 1997 😂 Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Thrust Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 More interesting is the origin of Trivia. From Latin trivia, plural of trivium (“place where three roads meet”). The term came to be used for any public place, and then for anything commonplace in the mid 20th century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Was confused for ages by this. I thought I know for fact Ed Sheeran has top spot reserved for whenever he releases new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised me, because they're overrated and a bit meh. Must have been a TV show that got it there again? Like Kate Bush (who's actually good) with Stranger Things??

Stranger Things was great to get my kids into some great tunes. Watching Fallout now, so lots of really old tunes being discovered. By me too.
