All correct answers everyone! :)

It could be a temporary error.  Often the hosting site I use for the clips runs painfully slow, sometimes making it seem like the clips won't ever load

Well, it finally worked, so here's my eight:

Canada
#7: Ironhorse - Sweet Lui-Louise

England
#1: Meck feat. Leo Sayer - Thunder In My Heart Again
#3: M1ke and the Mech4n1c5 - Word of Mouth (hope I spelled that one right LOL!)

Italy
#2: Moony - Dove
#3: Eiffel 65 - Move Your Body

Netherlands
#3: Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (Vengabus)

Wales
#4: Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever


I know you're kinda counting on me for the German ones (or that's what I think, at least), but they're hard to tell apart. :-\\

US 3. Manic Monday - The Bangles

Germany 6 Da da da - Trio

Scotland 2 ? - The Bluebells

USA 10 Chain REaction _ Diana Ross

Wow Jason,this had to be hard work :o

My guesses:

Australia - #1 Beautiful Girl - INXS

Ireland - #7 Loving Each Day - Ronan Keating

France - #2 Cherry Blossom Girl - Air

Scotland - #4 Roll To Me - Del Amitri

Eng #1 is actually a Meckless Leo Sayer, so you still get the point.  I wish Meck's version had of charted here.  I love it so much!

You got 7½ out of 8 :) 
NL #3 is Vengaboys, but not that song :(


I know you're kinda counting on me for the German ones (or that's what I think, at least), but they're hard to tell apart. :-\\


In a way I was, but I recorded the clips all similar to add a challenge ;D


US 3. Manic Monday - The Bangles


a correct answer :)


Germany 6 Da da da - Trio

Scotland 2 ? - The Bluebells

Wow Jason,this had to be hard work :o

My guesses:

Australia - #1 Beautiful Girl - INXS

Ireland - #7 Loving Each Day - Ronan Keating

France - #2 Cherry Blossom Girl - Air

All of those are correct, 'cept you've been beaten to Scotland #4

Scotland #2 It Doesn't Have To Be This Way - The Blow Monkeys

Scotland #2 It Doesn't Have To Be This Way - The Blow Monkeys


That is the one 8)

France - #2 Cherry Blossom Girl - Air


So that's what it is. I knew it was Air, but I only know "All I Need" and "Kelly Watch The Stars", and it wasn't either of those.



NL #3 is Vengaboys, but not that song :(


I wasn't really sure, to be honest. I'll have another listen. Is it "Up and Down"? ???

I wasn't really sure, to be honest. I'll have another listen. Is it "Up and Down"? ???


It is Up and Down yes :)
I originally was gonna use 'We Like to Party' for the quiz, but I stumbled upon 'Up and Down' in the Canadian Top 40.  I had no idea that it was a hit here

Corect on the last two.  Italy #1 isn't Cappella, but the artist does begin with a C
Gernamy #4 isn't Bad Boys Blue, but here's a hint.  It's a song by an artist that you've used in one of your quizzes
Both songs are double talk

Those hints don't help me much. I honestly thought it was Cappella. :-\\ And I've used quite a lot of artists in my quizzes...
Guess I'll have to wait for other hints to come out.

So instead...I'll answer Netherlands, #8: Ferry Corsten - Rock Your Body (Rock)

I've been listening to this clipping over and over again...and finally I think I know who it is. Lou Bega. It's not Mambo Nr 5, and the only other song I can think of is I Got a Girl. Not sure if that's the one, though. :-\\
