#24 is correct, but I am afraid #27 isn't.  It is Sugar Sugar, but there's a little more to it.  A good try though :)

It could be a browser issue.  Several quizzes I have made don't seem to like Firefox, but they work in Internet Explorer

A quiz I did a while back when I used Yahoo! to host the music player, seemed to not work at all with Firefox.  Ever since then, these types of audio quizzes often get screwy with certain browsers.  It's all very confusing.  lol

OK, it's "Back For Good", how did I mess that up? Can't say I'm a big fan of Gary Barlow but what the heck do the other three do!?

Both correct!

Here's a hint on #12.  The band is from Canada, and they took their name from a drug.  The song in question hit #31 in America, and was also popular in Japan and The Netherlands, among other places
