Given your hint, and without googling.. I'd venture: "That'll be the Day"

Whoops correction that would be the Big Bopper not Buddy holly.i `ll blame that in the usual morning rush. Anyway i will sick with Fade away? This song was, of course, covered by The Rolling Stones in 1964 and became their first UK top 10 hit.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Sheena im never going to get the answer but until you post it marvel at this.How about the full name of the band that hit #11 US, #1 UK with a bagpipe version of "Amazing Grace" in 1972? Usually shortened to "The Royal Scots", the official name was The Pipes and Drums and Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. thats 59

Not Fade Away is indeed the correct answer. Sort of ironic in a way..

Sheena I suspect that we will need a clue on your question. Roy I have no idea what the answer is your question. Perhaps another clue is needed also.

I think some clues now and again put in a clever way make this trivia all the better.Did anyone like the insignia advert?

Clues? Okay, i'll try.
The band is from USA. And that's both a fact and a hint.
Scott: 59 sounds scary, must be some kind of record.

Today in Rock History:

Leo Sayer had his biggest album success when Endless Flight sneaked into the top 10 in the U.S. in 1977. The LP contained three hit singles in “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,” “When I Need You” and “How Much Love.” He improved on his Just a Boy record from 1975, which stalled at position 16. It featured his first hit single, “Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance).”

Bette Midler hit number 1 this week in 1989 with “Wind Beneath My Wings.” The song was featured in the Beaches movie from that year, in which Midler starred. She had been absent from the top 10 for most of the decade.

The publishers of John Lee Hooker’s famous “Boogie Chillen” track filed a lawsuit against ZZ Top in 1992. The legal action claimed that “La Grange” had ripped off Hooker’s song from 1948. ZZ Top was successful in its defence when the suit was dismissed five months later. “La Grange” was a very popular track from their 1973, Tres Hombres LP.

“Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?,” from Bryan Adams, spent its second of five weeks at number 1 this week in 1995. The song was from the Don Juan DeMarco soundtrack, and was also included on the 18 ’Til I Die album. Even better was the single’s B-side, “Low Life.” It was not available on any album.
