The "Be Unique" archives!

[ "Be Unique!" Archives]

• • The "Be Unique" category for the week of July 8-12, 2002:

Not including groups with first and/or last names only (e.g. "Sam and Dave," "Crosby Stills and Nash,") name a Top 40, 1955-1985 charting group whose name does not end with the letter "S."

Uniqueness will be determined by group name. Of all unique submissions, the highest charting song which was on the Billboard Top 40 for the longest time receives a bonus point. If two unique answers tie in both highest song position and number of weeks, both submissions will be allotted a bonus point.
Chart positions and number of weeks on Top 40 charts determined by Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Singles, 1955-1999," Copyright 2000.
