Were these UK number ones? I can't see a group who had six although Wham! come close.

Mojo-Jo-Jo

I can only think of Oasis. They said that but the timeline is wrong.

factor-fiction

I think it must be a fictional band, especially as it's in the TV/film section. I looked at Spinal Tap but they don't seem to fit the criteria

squarebear

Mojo-jo-jo is right that Oasis said that and they had plenty of number ones but there first one was in 1995

Frankie goes to Hollywood?

squarebear

Only 3 number ones for them and all in 1984.

factor-fiction

Frankie only had 3 though and they were all in '84 I think

Queen is the only one springing to my mind but I can't imagine Freddie Mercury saying that for some reason!

factor-fiction

Queen had no number ones in that time as far as I recall, apart maybe the Best Days of Our Lives/ Bohemian Rhapsody which was in around 1990/91

Mass_Hysteria

Band Aid?

squarebear

They also had Innuendo in 91 I think.

Question Author

could it be the spicegirls in their film but not sure if their hits and time lines fit

squarebear

No. Too early for Spice girls. I would go for Oasis and assume the quiz setter has the dates wrong.

factor-fiction

True, Squarebear. I remember now.

Anyway, my guess is we are looking for a fictional band from a TV show, such as a cartoon band from a children's TV show

Didn't Duran Duran say they were going to be bigger than the Beatles or was it God?
