Evening All,
Watched Pointless tonight and Richard made a statement in one of the earlier rounds ( or I believe he did ! - please correct me if I'm wrong) when he said " Not Fade Away was the Rolling Stones first single". Their first single, released in June 1963 was Come On, reaching number 21 in the charts.Did anybody else think he made that statement ??

Just watched it on iPlayer

He says first TOP TEN single, not first single.

[Guilbert53]

Yes, the question was based on band members surnames, but the band members when they had their first top ten single.

Of course if you wanted to be pedantic (thats me!) then you should add Ian Stewart to the surnames as he was a band member but due to him not having the right "looks" for a pop band was never shown in band photos etc.

However he toured with band right up to his death in 1985.

Thanks Guilbert. That is correct then. Not Fade way was their third single but was the first to reach the top 10 (I wanna be your man came close at number 12)

[Peter Pedant]

[fbg40]

Thanks for the replies folks.
