You really overestimate me! Just wait till you roll over me like an avalanche

I guess it's no surprise that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was our No.1 pick by far! 19 out of 24 players put it in the first place and thus also correctly predicted the position on the DL. So now points for everyone!

At least he was on our long list but didn't receive enough votes to make the Top 50.

I'm really sorry, actually you should have won, you lost 2 picks so close to the start ... and winning because of the age bonus doesn't feel right either! Good luck to both of us! Let's hope for a profitable round! And yeah, of course, thank you Joey!!!
-
Thanks, added. Your hit No.8.
-
Wow, my very first here . Only old tough cookies in my team
-
Beverly Cleary clearly is a hit here for Annami, Bibliogryphon, Buffalo Phil, Elephant, Etushispushingupdaisies, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, Steve, The Daredevil, The Old Crem, theoldlady and ThereWillBeDeaths7.

The Spice Girls became the first music act to have their first six singles reach number one on the UK singles chart between 1996 and 1997. Westlife became the first music act to have their first seven singles to reach number one from 1999 to 2000. I guess this is hard to beat.

Halleluja! Our first hit!!! In March! But better late than never! The very first DL from 1987 (with only 31 places) had its first hit on June 2nd (Andrés Segovia), but it's not really clear if this list was released on 01.01.1987. But this is also the DL with the latest hit ever. Second to that is the DL of 1992, when the first hit came on March 23rd (Jim Joel). There are 3 other DLs where the first hit of the year didn't came until March: March 3rd, 2003 (Hardy Amies) March 20th, 2004 (Queen Juliana) March 6th, 2007 (Ernest Gallo) The fastest DL is the DL of 1998, when Helen Wills Moody died right on New Year's Day. And, of course, not to forget the least successful DL with 40 places and not a single hit: 1991. So, the D-A-CH-DL is on its way

One of the best German love songs: Stella Maris by Einstürzende Neubauten feat. Meret Becker. Still love it, so beautiful, so tragic! I still got the CD. From 1996... time flies really fast... -
