Ver Quo performed live on UK TV on two separate shows last night. They must have a very good agent!

It's a pity that the Manics didn't release "1985" off their fantastic record, btw.

Should I be ashamed that I never heard of Status Quo?

Could anybody calculate in which position PSB would be in that list considering the lenght of each career?

PSB is the first duo in that list.

These figures are wrong. Both of them, DM & the PSB have had 36 Top-40 hit singles.
They are apparently top 75 singles, not top 40. DM has had at least three non-top 40 singles: Dreaming Of Me, Little 15 and Something To Do (which spent a year at number 75 last November, because it was the a-side track on one of the ETS 04 12-inch singles).

And maybe they have counted DJ Cultu-REMIX as a separate entry as it is listed on the Guiness Book Of Hit Singles and maybe even Absolutely fabulous or Hallo Spaceboy?

As for the Manics, they had 6 reissues on Epic that charted in September 1997. Here' the titles with corresponding highest chart entry for each re-issue:
Little Baby nothing: 50
Love's sweet exile: 55
Motorcycle emptiness: 41
Slash n' burn: 54
Stay beautiful: 52
You love us: 49
These would probably account for the discrepencies mentioned earlier.

You are right, they have included:
DJ Culture(mix) 40
Absolutely fabulous: 6
This makes 38 in total.
Hallo Spaceboy is not included - it is considered as a David Bowie release.

Well, it just shows that you haven't been in the Army (now or then).

They will probably credit for the missing six "hit singles", yes.
