	You may want to call them "Billboard" Glenn Miller #1 Singles. Joel Whtburn's Pop Memories book (which uses many different metrics for the pre-Billboard years) lists at least 12 more #1s from 1939 until the Best Sellers chart began in 1940.

	An admission: I was typing Red Sox when I was given credit for the Reds. God bless baseball.

	Helsinki had been selected to host the 1940 Summer Olympics, which were cancelled due to WWII.

	TomH1990:	Oct 11th, 2012 at 12:45 GMT		2 points
	I think Helsinki should be accepted. Although the 1940 Summer Olympics were first awarded to Tokyo, when that was cancelled it was awarded to Helsinki, which was then itself cancelled. Thus Helsinki was a host city of a cancelled Olympics during World War II.

	You could also say the same about St. Moritz, which was chosen to replace Sapporo for Winter 1940 before it was itself cancelled.

	"Kalamazoo" is actually titled "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo".

	@Slinkyfarm- The song is actually titled "Kalamazoo". The "I've Got a Gal" is sometimes printed in parentheses before the title.

	oh yeah, that OTHER US president.... (hangs head in shame). Current book I'm reading: The Storm of War by Andrew Roberts--a good read about, yes, WWII. Just haven't gotten to the end yet, where that other prez makes an apperance. d'oh! 500 pages in and not a mention of him yet. I am such a dolt! A fine quiz, though.
