Number 36 isn't listed as a duet in my source, unless you read the description of the song. Also, for an explanation of the rankings, visit my source.

#11 is 2 different songs. So is #33. In both cases, you should allow either, not the full listing of both. Accept "correct" spellings as alternates (such as "Starting"). Also accept main titles without the bracketed subtitles.
Subtle clue with the colors. I like that.

I made the changes that you suggested. If I've missed anything, please let me know. I didn't realize #11 & #33 were two songs each; I just copied what my source had listed. I thought that my color choices would be appropriate. I'm glad you like them.

You should definitely accept both "PYT" and "P.Y.T." for #38.

Seconding the PYT request. Good quiz other than that, though.

Thanks for pointing that out. I knew that, but forgot to add the "*".

you should accept "i wanna be where you are" as that is the actual title.

"We Are the World" would be an appropriate bonus. RIP, King of Pop.

He also sang the chorus on Rockwell's 'Somebody's Watching Me'.

@westing: Billboard's list is based only on tracks where Michael or The Jacksons are given label credit. Otherwise, you'd have to include Right Here by SWV, Don't Stop The Music by Rihanna (which both sample MJ tunes) and You Haven't Done Nothing by Stevie Wonder where the Jacksons sang back up.

@samiscooke - my apologies. My source has "I Want To Be Where You Are" listed as the title in the beginning of #43's paragraph. When I went back and looked at it after your comment, the paragraph itself had it "I Wanna Be Where You Are". Both are now accepted.

I cannot believe Earth Song isn't on here, and Say Say Say was never as big as Billie Jean or Bad. And Heal the World?

@RJMurphy, if you visit my source, they give an explanation as to why Say Say Say is ranked #1.

Heartbreak Hotel is actually titled "This Place Hotel," because the Jacksons did not want to confuse it with Elvis' song

Say Say Say is number one? I don't agree with that.
