Band On The Rung
Is your name Paul? Yes? That's great news, because you must be a pop star in waiting. More pop stars have been called Paul than any other name. From McCartney to Weller, people called Paul have appeared on 57 No.1 singles since the UK chart began in 1953, according to Yahoo! Music. John was the second most common name for chart-toppers, with the likes of Lennon and Queen bassist Deacon appearing on 54 best-selling songs. David was third (whew!) thanks to the success of artists like Bowie, while Brian - as in May and McFadden - came fourth. George Harrison, George Michael and Boy George helped their name into fifth place.

G'day, David! Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I'll never say no to being added to somebody's blogroll! I'll get you added to mine as well.
Glad you came over from Carol's. She's a phenomenal writer, isn't she?
I guess there aren't many Robs on that list, eh?
Hi Ms Creek,
Good call. Ms Ellie was an absolute gem, wasn't she!
Keep smiling

G'day Diesel,

How many for Ringos?
Hi Brian,
Ah, the brilliant Ringo? Alas, none, because that was his nom de plume - after his love for jewellery, if I recall correctly.
Keep smiling
David
Interesting that 3 of the 4 names co-winky-dinked with The Beatles' names.
