	What, Revolution 9 wasn't a #1 hit?!?!?!?

	bit harsh that you can't have the number '8' for eight days a week, but otherwise good quiz

	"For You Blue" isn't usually included on lists of their Americna #1 hits -- it was just the b-side of "The Long and Winding Road."

	great quiz. well done sporcle gurus. knew most of the UK ones, but the b-sides and US only releases threw me.

	FANTASTIC quiz Bardo, thanks for submitting it :) I too have been waiting ages for this one

	I just can't believe I only got 12 - I'm losing it!

	acroarcs:	Jan 15th, 2009 at 19:10 GMT	6 points
	Got the ones I did mostly because the 1 CD is permanently in my car and I was thinking about driving around. Downside to this strategy: thinking of one song meant that I had to sing it for a little while before I could move on to another (and I ended up repeating some), so I only got 12 and am kicking myself over another 15.

	I'm embarrassed that I only got 13, and surprised that some of my favorites never made #1 (In My Life, Strawberry Fields, Norwegian Wood, I Am the Walrus)

	Got them all except 'for you blue'. Wasn't please please me number one?

	Great quiz. Kinda happy I was there for all the Beatlemaia stuff!

	ShepherdBook:	Jan 15th, 2009 at 21:03 GMT	3 points
	28/28! Nathan- I have "Billboard's Book of #1 Hits" at home, and "For You Blue" is listed as a co-number one along with "L&W Road". "Come Together" and "Something" are a co-number one, too. The number one hits are SINGLES, not SONGS, so on several occassions the #1 hit has been two songs.

	How do you send in quiz ideas?

	Booger:	Jan 15th, 2009 at 22:01 GMT	16 points
	Ben, if this quiz was originally Bardo's idea, why not give him credit for it at the top? In fact, I think it would be in Sporcle's interest to give credit to any quiz idea that came from a user. At the very leaset, doing so would encourage people to submit more quiz ideas. Using people's quiz ideas without credit is likely to result in fewer submitted quiz ideas.

	It was a travesty that the Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever double A didn't make number 1 in the UK - kept off the top by Englebert bleedin' Humperdinck!

	Surprised Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane weren't on the lists.

	Joe_Ball:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 10:01 GMT	2 points
	I think it's poignant that many of the better Beatles songs are missing - stuff people just weren't ready for. Excellent stuff.

	@Booger: See the comments I've made on U.K populous metros. Sporcle won't let people apart from Ben and Davidr amke quizzes. its annoying.

	Booger:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 12:59 GMT	3 points
	God: It's one thing to only let certain people actually make quizzes. It's another thing not to even credit people who submit quiz ideas that are used by Sporcle. What's so hard about putting at the top: "This quiz idea was submitted by Sporcle user: Bardo"? I myself would feel uncomfortable taking credit for a quiz idea that came from someone else.

	thanks booger, yennykins. ben is a gloryhog.

	@Booger: I totally agree. That's my point. On U.K populous metros I sent in a list of the U.K most populous cities. However, they used a different rubbish source and gave me no credit for it. I've submitted loads of data for other games and I hope i get credited for those. But i know i won't. I even sent an email asking if I could make quizzes and they didn't send anything back.

	Just a quick note for all those wondering out there, we've updated the F.A.Q to try to answer some of the questions about credit and game generation. On a specific note for this quiz, the final form of this quiz varies from that provided by Bardo AND Ben, and we had almost 10 separate people ask for it.

	Booger:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 16:59 GMT	-1 points
	@ Sporcle: Thanks for the explanation. I still think that some credit should go to the person who first submits a quiz idea that is eventually used, even if the final form of the quiz is different from that proposed. While this quiz, for example, could have taken various forms (e.g., not separating out US only No. 1s and UK only #1s), it was the idea for the quiz that lead to its generation.

	GKW1982:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 17:18 GMT	0 points
	I had no idea "For You Blue" was even released as a single, let alone hit #1.

	Bardo:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 18:19 GMT	1 point
	Sporcle- Please tell me why if the final version varied from mine and Ben's, it was only creditted to Ben. JeremyNCSU- I would expect you to understand what its like to live in the shadows, being like the 9th most interesting school in NC.

	Dores:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 18:45 GMT	8 points
	I'm not saying Ben and Sporcle are in bed together on this...all I know is that I saw Ben leave Sporcle's apartment real early this morning

	ShouldBeWorking:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT	2 points
	Bardo - Would you please submit the quiz for the top 10 most interesting schools in NC? I'd love to play that one...make sure you include Mars Hill College though. I just love how pathetic it is that this has actually ruined your day. I can only imagine how amazing it would be to watch you try to explain to someone why you're so pissed off, because I guarantee they'd piss themselves laughing at you. Maybe you should spend your time worrying about more important things, like how to get promoted from the fryilator up to drive through.

	this is getting good. i gotta say, anyone with the billy ripken error card as his avatar is a man in my book. big bad wolf? not so much.

	Most prestigious North Carolina Colleges (as submitted by ben) 1:Duke 2:UNC 3:Davidson 4:Elon 5:Wake 6:ECU 7:Greesboro 8:Gardner-Webb 9:Heritage Bible 10:High Point (BONUS 12th-NCSU) I check sporcle for fun at work, which is not at McDonalds actually. But I am impressed with your acute knowledge of the fast food industry pecking order, something I doubt is just coincidental with that esteemed alma mater to your name.

	Booger:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 19:45 GMT	-1 points
	I now understand that contrary to conventional wisdom it was actually Sporcle user: Ben who invented the internet. ;-)
