	Note: I excluded Rihanna, because she's from Barbados and doesn't have US citizenship (not yet, that is); I included Shaggy, because although born in Jamaica, he gained US citizenship before becoming a recording artist. If I'm mistaken, though, please let me know.

	nice quiz, due to my age did far better on the more recent ones! lol! just one thing - estelle is british, so this song should be taken off the list as kanye had already had a no.1 by that point!

	mmuller86:	Mar 12th, 2012 at 13:30 GMT		1 point
	Ok, thanks, fixed it. And yeah, some of the older ones I never even had heard of either, let alone their songs.

	Alex951998:	Mar 12th, 2012 at 22:57 GMT		1 point
	Wow, I'm surprised rock acts such as CCR and Rage Against the Machine got that high, but I guess the UK has always been more rock-friendly than the US. Also, interesting choices you made for MJ and the Black Eyed Peas.

	mmuller86:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 00:09 GMT		0 points
	Ah, well, the choices are actually the first #1s (in case there were more). About Rage Against the Machine: that was because people were fed up with the X Factor finalist's single hitting #1 during X-mas (which happened 4 years in a row, I think) and so they called upon everyone to buy Killing in the Name to beat the X Factor single that year (2009), in which they succeeded!
