This question will tickle your memory gland and test your knowledge of the monster hits. Below is the list of the artists involved, and their all time biggest songs. It is your job to pick the exception. One of these artists DID NOT place a song on the all-time top 40.
Not familiar with Twin-Pick? It is easy. You do not have to wait for me to post an answer. The quiz self-corrects on the spot. When you click on the choices A - E, if you are correct, you will be transported in the time machine to a video of the artist performing the song . If you get any of them wrong, then you get a big red raspberry as you click. Put on your thinking hat.
Consider the facts: All of the songs below were #1 for several weeks. All of these songs, with no exceptions, were the all-time highest ranking songs for the artists listed. These singles were their biggest hits. Which artist(s) is/are the exception and failed to place an entry in the Billboard all-time top 40 of the rock era? In other words -- which song is not, and which artist does not have an entry in, the all-time top 40.
A. Elvis Presley -- Don't Be Cruel/Hound dog (1956)
B. Debbie Boone -- You Light Up My Life (1977)
D. Chubby Checker -- The Twist (1960)
E. Whitney Houston -- I Will Always Love You ((1992)

I love the classic era.. cant call it the oldies then I would be an oldie too
Steven, I've done pretty well on all your quizzes thus far except this one. I failed in my first 4 tries. Couldn't have done worse.
Steven - EEEGADS! I'm a child of the 60's and a raving Beatles fan, and I missed that one! That was fun, though. Thanks!
geez i thought i knew music, i guessed debbie boone first, then whitney houston, then chubby checker, then finally, the beatles. who woulda guessed it. i guess i was born in 1980.
Steve;
I got it right the first time. But I listen to Breakfast with the Beatles every Sunday morning on KZOK and I graduated from high school in 1965.
By the way, what happened to Steve Slatton?
Yeah,
It fooled me too. I knew it would throw a monkey wrench in rational thought. Those of us old enough to remember think that the Beatles just could not be the ones. They hold so many records for firsts and mosts -- but not that one. I used to work for the company that owned KZOK many years back. Not sure on Steve S, could probably find out.
By the way, this was close. Hey Jude was #41. So I pulled the wool over your eyes.
That just don't make not sense----pretty amazing
It may not make sense but I bet it makes you happy seeing that Boone girl up where she belongs.
Debbie Boone? You've got to be kidding! I already had a flashlight.
I got four raspberries before I got it right.
A dark day in my life. :-)
OK, I didn't get this one, I'm going to forward this post to Todd Clark and see how he does, he was a DJ for a number of years, I wonder if he would get it.
Wow! who would have guessed. I think that I know some people that would disagree with Billboard.
Jack,
It all comes down to weeks on the chart and they did not make the cut.
