Not much better.  Only 6 of 12 for a .500 average and 267 POGs (remember those?).

Only a little better...7/12. Dreihundert vier Luftballons.

6/12 and 256 Kim Jong Un turds.

The Glen Campbell answer was wrong. So if you got it right, you got it wrong. I got it wrong and I was right and my score should be higher.

The Glen Campbell question was right, actually. http://www.billboard.com/artist/302916/ ... bell/chart
I was five years old when that song charted and it was my first favorite song that wasn't a hymn or a kid's song - I still love it and listened to it, and Wichita Lineman, dozens and dozens of times this past winter/spring/early summer while I cared for my Alzheimer's client, who also passed away just a few weeks ago. We listened to a music playlist from his iPod all day long, because just like for Glen, the music was the last memory that remained.

I was going by memory and this.

From the article:

Campbell’s top five hits are rounded out by “I Wanna Live” (a No. 1 hit in 1968 for three weeks), “Bonaparte’s Retreat” (No. 3; 1974), “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” (No. 2; 1968) and the iconic “Wichita Lineman” (No. 1 for two weeks in 1968).

Rhinestone Cowboy was a hit in 1975, so it's not his first number 1 hit.

At least that's how I see it.

From the article you linked:

A widely popular artist who transcended genres, two of Campbell’s tracks topped the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. The first was 1975’s “Rhinestone Cowboy,” followed by the chart-topping hit “Southern Nights” (1977). The latter tune ranks at No. 10 on our recap of his biggest hits.

I think you're confused between THE Billboard 100 - all genre - and the hot country chart, which isn't a 'real' number one hit as in best song of all songs going. Glen had just two #1 hits on the Billboad 100, Rhinestone Cowboy being the first.
