	Great quiz - looks like there's an unfair advantage to song titles appearing more than once at #1 (I suppose that makes sense). One suggestion: The double letters are confusing. When I reached "Prince (J/K)" I wasted about a minute trying to figure out which #1 prince song started with a J and a K. I see why you did it that way, but I suggest putting only the relevant letter in each clue (e.g., Prince's clue would have only a K).

	i second that: the double letters didn't make much sense to me either.

	jmsr525:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 15:13 GMT		-2 points
	The double letters refer to the original quiz that they were from.

	walkerboh1701:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 15:28 GMT		2 points
	I also didn't understand the double letters, but was able to figure it out eventually. Good quiz.

	I appreciate the Ike & Tina reference in the URL.

	johnlk:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 16:56 GMT		8 points
	I understand that the double letters refer to the original quiz. That doesn't really justify not just giving the first letter of that particular song.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 17:19 GMT		4 points
	Please note that 9 out of 11 of the least-guessed answers are the ones with double letters. Either take out the letter clues for all of the hints on the quiz, change it to make all the hints consistent, or explain at the top of the quiz WTH the double letters mean.

	jmsr525:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 18:11 GMT		2 points
	Agreed. I have tried to find some middle ground now. Hopefully, I have made it more clear.

	guide:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 22:05 GMT		10 points
	I don't see why it's necessary at all to indicate the quiz a song comes from. If one isn't immediately familiar with the quiz series this is derived from (which I imagine very few of the quiz takers here will be), it's very confusing. You'd be left wondering why a Prince song starting with K would be in a J quiz, not necessarily realizing it's a combined J/K quiz.

	Chocolatl:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 22:42 GMT		6 points
	I agree; the double letters are completely unnecessary.

	mneh:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 23:29 GMT		6 points
	Thirded. Does ANYONE care what quiz these came from?

	ezois:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 23:38 GMT		2 points
	I didn't get the 2 letter thing either but I did so terrible it didn't matter. I think it's odd that I got Sir Mix-a Lot but not Frankie Avalon.

	jmsr525:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 00:41 GMT		6 points
	Even I give into peer pressure.

	midlifecrisis:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 18:41 GMT		2 points
	Umbrella is the most annoying song in the world.

	jmsr525:	Oct 24th, 2011 at 03:30 GMT		2 points
	I have a published quiz without this many plays.

	Dr_Corndog:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 14:39 GMT		1 point
	I find it strange that these are the most easily guessed #1 hits. I'd have an easier time guessing ANY of The Beatles' #1 hits than some of the songs on this list, for example.
