Message Subject Rock and Roll trivia question? (Update: AJackson President Elect got the answer!)
Poster Handle Wharf Rat
Post Content
You guys want a hint?


Hint #1: Virtually every song this band released featured strings (cello, violins, etc.)... except for their highest charting single, arguably their most well-known tune...
 Quoting: Wharf Rat


ELO?
 Quoting: AJackson, President Elect


Bingo. Google says: "The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hits (20) without a number one single of any band in US chart history. In 2017, the key members of ELO (Wood, Lynne, Bevan and Tandy) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
 Quoting: truthbomb77


Yep!

"From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated twenty-seven top 40 songs on the UK Singles Chart, and fifteen top 20 songs on the US Billboard Hot 100.[10][11] The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hits (20) without a number one single of any band in US chart history."
