| Hi Billywho: Can't believe you posted this! I managed and produced the Most Successful Least Successful act in UK chart history (as pointed out in I think it was the 13th Edition of The Guinness Book Of Hit Singles). Let me explain: To be the Least Successful you need to spend just one week at the lowest possible UK chart position, #75. This has happened to a number of acts, but what happened to the Ruthless Rap Assassins, is unique. They had two singles make the chart, both in 1990, 'Just Mellow' and 'And It Wasn't A Dream', and, you've guessed, each of these records spent one week only at #75! I won't answer the question you set, but add these further clues: The track has a three word title and the label was hot. |

| Billywho: Didn't get quite as high as #40, but 'Get Another Love' did manage to reach #51 in the UK. Another clue: First word of title and surname of artist both have five letters. |

| A wild guess, based solely on a few of the clues: "Dance With You" by Carrie Lucas...?

| I guess my favo(u)rite Carrie Lucas song is "Dance With You," which probably explains how I was able to guess the answer to your quiz. I still don't get the Armand Van Helden clue (did he do a remix of the song?), but I do agree with Graham's assessment of his "talent." |
