Er...I'm afraid I overlooked one of your answers, Henk...and #5 isn't a Phil Collins song... :-\\
Unfortunately, I'd already put down the right answer, which kinda screws things up! :-[

Hi Karen! I just got here as quickly as I could.
Fortunately I know #9: "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin. (For the record, I even heard it on the radio about three hours ago.)
And everytime I hear that line, it sounds to me like "Julio Iglesias saw you" (even though I know that's not right, lol). ;D

That would be correct, Jeff...but I need to know specifically which country! :)

I'll jump in... I know for a fact the other country isn't The Netherlands. Most likely, it's the UK.

Oh, so they were #1s in the U.S. and one other specific country?
I give up... Henk's probably right. I was thinking the UK too, but Henk said it first.
