As for 14, finding any appropriate record to ask about is still causing problems. Emma's suggested a couple of American hits (Fourteen days by Laura Love, and 14 Karet Fool by Buzz Clifford), but neither of those was a hit over here. Ian suggests 14 Hours To Save The Earth by Tomski (1998), which is fine if you consider number 42 to be a hit record. I was toying with the marvellous They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haaa! by Napoleon XIV (1966, no 4), except the 14 there is in the artist's name and not in the title. And Scaryduck, well, he suggests something rather more devious which, whilst not strictly digital, is probably borderline acceptable. So, this is Scaryduck's idea, but not his choice of record. Can you guess:
14) Steps (1998, no 2)
