The missing act only released three singles, all of which reached number 1 in the UK

I’m going to try Shakespeares Sister (of course it isn’t but ‘Stay’ seemed to be at number 1 for ever)?

Not Shkespeare's Sister.

The missing artistes only ever released cover songs.

No, although one of the artistes could be described as 'evergreen'

[Ashley Hill]

I was tempted to say Steps but I think they did some originals too.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Robson & Jerome

 

[MotCO]

You should not be tempted.

Robson & Jerome

It was indeed.

Since three of you each got one answer, the casting vote will be based on combined sales.

Celine sold 2.5m records
Spice Girls sold 2.3m records
Robson & Jerome sold 2.9m records

So I'll ask @Ashley Hill to set the next question.


[For the aficionados, the songs are:

Robson & Jerome : ‘Unchained Melody’ / ‘There’ll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover’, and ‘I Believe’/’Up On The Roof’

Spice Girls : ‘Wannabe’ and ‘2 become 1’

Celine Dion : ‘My Heart will go on’, and ‘Think Twice’]

 

[Ashley Hill]
