Hot Chocolate, 1982 All of the artistes are correct, some of the years are out just by one. (Betty Everett 1968) Only one wildy out is Kissin'Cousins, which wasn't a hit for Elvis until June 1964. 8 for the artistes, 7 x 0.5 for the years. Good start.

Like Craig, some of the years are out by one, but we don't mind that. ;) 10 correct, no year offered for Sugar Candy Kisses. That makes 10 + 9 x 0.5 = 14.5pts Bonuses. 16...0.5; 35...1.0; 38....0.5. And 0.5 for the year correction on Elvis. Brings it up to 17pts. Leaderboard: 1 Pete Farrelly 17pts 2 CraigC 11.5pts

7. Lil' Louis 1989 15. Bryan Ferry 1988 23. Jet Harris 1962 25. Hall & Oates 1980 Brilliant, all four for 6pts and a special 2pt bonus for Hall and Oates as it was a hit only in the States but not over here -despite being a fantastic track. A bit like Summer of '69 by Brian Adams - everyone knows it, but it only got as high as number 39 in 1985.

So what dregs remain from the Valentine's Day massacre ?
4 - Artiste and year. 8 - Artiste and year for original version. 12 - The year. 13 - year of re-release of the original version; and artiste and year for a later cover version. 21 - Artiste for a cover version of the same year. 27 - 2 versions have been named, there was another one in between. 36 - Artiste and year. 37 - Artiste for a cover version for the Avons of the same year. 38 - 1 version named, there were 2 others in the same year. 39 - Artiste and year for original version. 40 - Year that the re-release was a hit all over again.
14.5 points still up for grabs.

8. Dean Martin 1953 (think you"ll find I've already got that one) The answer I was looking for was Prince, who got his own composition to number 5 on 29th March 1986. Bears no relation to the old Dean Martin record - different tune altogether. These are still left: 4 - Artiste and year, for 1.5pts 36 - Artiste and year, for 1.5pts
