Not Fleetwood Mac. Band had a singer who was already famous before they were formed.
9 would be more mainstream than Nick Cave.

Just thought I'd have a quick look in, thought this list would have been completed by now!
3. is Wings (or Paul McCartney & Wings, not sure how they were billed that early on). The banned single that preceded it was "Give Ireland Back To The Irish".
8. is Paul Anka.

14 or 16weeks at no.1 for the Robin Hood prince of thieves soundtrack wasn't it? My favourite song of his is his collab with Mel C When you're gone.

It was sixteen weeks, the longest consecutive run. Though Frankie laine once had a longer total number with eighteen weeks iirc.

I wrongly heard it was 14, going way back to the late 90s during secondary school, my source of misinfo? Not the internet but teletext if you remember that.

Was Chris Rea really more mainstream than Nick Cave?
Not arguing but I only know him for Driving Home For Christmas, whereas Nick Cave is a name I’ve grown up knowing even without listening to him, so that’s interesting.

Rea sold more albums and he has a few songs that get regular radio play. I heard Lets Dance on the radio this afternoon. Cave would be a bigger name critically and probably has more younger fans. I was at a wedding last year and all the tables were named after albums and mine was after Caves The Boatman's Call.

Among music fans, Nick Cave is undoubtedly the bigger name (partly because of his longevity) . But Chris Rea (despite the major part of his career being 30+ years ago) is definitely the more mainstream and would have more name recognition within the general public. His songs are still played regularly on middle-of-the-road radio stations, "Driving Home For Christmas" is guaranteed to back in the top 40 hit every December, etc.

Nick Cave and Chris Rea both brilliant but yes Chris Rea far more mainstream.
Check out Josephine, the French Edit, a Balearic classic that I will drop many times over the coming summer.

Question:
What is the total age of the ten songs? The year for three of them have been already given away so I'd expect the answers to be fairly accurate. The year is when each song was first released, not the year it was a hit or released as a single. Because I'm so late with the question you have the whole weekend to provide an answer instead of the usual 24 hours.
