Gina39525 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 K, I have to ask a question...(now THERE'S a surprise)...Didn't the Beach Boys have their biggest hit with KOKOMO after they were inducted into the Hall?
daslied Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 I thought about that, too. But "I Get Around", "Help Me Rhonda" and "Good Vibrations" were all bigger decades before.
Gina39525 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 According to "The Beach Boys.com" << In 1988, The Beach Boys were at the top of the pop charts with the #1 single "Kokomo" from the Cocktail Motion Picture Soundtrack. The multi-platinum "Kokomo" is The Beach Boys biggest selling hit, climbing to #1 on the pop music and video charts of Billboard, Cashbox, Radio & Records and Hits magazines in 1988 >>
ryansgirl319 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 Was Carlos Santana inducted as an individual or as part of a group? He recorded Smooth as a solo artist separate from Santana as a group. The question is worded as what singer or band..., and Carlos is not a singer.
Carl Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Posted December 29, 2005 Boy, I really liked that question when we wrote it. My reasoning for not accepting The Beach Boys was that "Good Vibrations" was a bigger hit. Of course, "bigger hit" is subjective since we didn't specify chart position or sales.
Gina39525 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 OK...so, Carl, in the future, by what means do we measure "biggest hit"? I usually use the Billboard Charts. BTW, this month's quiz is great! Everything is specific and spelled-out, for the dummies like me!
Carl Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Posted December 31, 2005 I usually go by Billboard chart position, but I should spell that out in the future. Happy quiz taking.
