Twin-Pick Music Trivia Quiz -- A Life At Number Two

By
Home Inspector with King of the House Home Inspection, Inc. Home Inspector Lic #207

Some performers who today are household names have gone through their careers without EVER having had a #1 hit. When you see the names of the artists on that list, and you know the names of some of the one-hit-wonders who have had a big #1 hit, it is really quite startling.

 

It is time for another Twin-Pick. This is the music trivia quiz that makes you think and helps you tickle your memory gland. You know how it works. You try to answer the question by clicking on the choices below. My able cyber assistants try to offend you every time you make a mistake. They can be rude. But, get it right, and you will be taken to a performance by the original artist.

Question: All of the following artists have never had a #1 hit on the Billboard charts. However, of these artists, one leads the pack with the most #2 hits in all of history. Which performer(s) had a total of five #2 hits without a single #1. This might be a hard one!

Nat King Cole

The Coasters

Bruce Springsteen

Bob Dylan 

Creedence Clearwater Revival

The Pointer Sisters

I always thought John Fogerty was treated like the red headed stepchild of rock n roll.

I missed and missed and missed but then I loved the selection.  I coulda sworn that would have been a # 1.  My husband says it's a hard #@$%^!! song to dance to but he always tries.  Was Proud Mary a boat??

Thought it was Dylan or Creedence. Second guess was right.
