Yes depends on the exact wording of the question. It seems to be asking about there own hits as The Shadows. They were indeed off course listed earlier on Cliffs first sing Move It. tho even then they were labelled as the Drifters

[bobbinwales]

Apache was there first UK top 40 hit as The Shadows without cliff. Whether we'er talking UK charts tho is up to the setter.

[bobbinwales]

If its a trick question or badly worded/misquaoted it could be Travellin Light as that was the first one where they were credited as The Shadows ona Cliff Richard song and was before Apache. Move it could be discounted as it was Cliff and The Drifters

Hi, Did they give the answer on todays show?

[Buenchico]

'Apache', in 1960, was their first Number 1 single but they'd previously released three other (non-charting) singles. (One as 'The Shadows' and, before that, two as 'The Drifters'):

It seems like apache to me but theres sometimes a twist in the tail or a questionmark over the wording or answer with this setter

Hi bobbinwales in question master sum up he posted first British hit. So gave answer as Apache. Very misleading
