Nope.  Great guesses though. Show's you're not googling.  Not a fan of Brian then?

Definitely not googling!
Love 'Summer of 69' but hated 'Everything I Do' (if that's the right title).
Is the 'most top 20 hits' question:
a) most top 20 hits by anyone (and the answer happens to be a duo); or b) of the duo acts, who had the most top 20 hits........if you see what I mean?
