Hi, Gis...
Your answers for #3 and #16 are almost right, but you left out part of the title on each...
#3 is actually 'Summer Nights'...and #16 is '2-4-6-8 Motorway'... :)
Also, you left out the number for the Elton John song...
...we'll go ahead and give that one to you this time, but please don't forget in the future! ;)

I can only give you 3 1/2 points here, as Annie Lennox was not the artist we needed for #23...

I know who the correct artist is for #23!...but I can't say it, as I have already used up my limit. Hopefully someone else will know it! :)

Must be Procol Harum then. I assumed they made it to #1 (they did so twice in The Netherlands), that's why I answered Annie Lennox.
