[m0j0]

Which band infamously placed a ban on a specific colour of M&M's backstage in their rider that lasted for a number of years? What colour M&M was banned?

 

[Azkatro]

I think it was Van Halen, who used to insist of all the brown M&M's be removed.

 

[m0j0]

Correct. Over to you.

 

[Azkatro]

Awesome!

Whitney Houston is famous for having 7 consecutive singles to reach #1 on the US Billboard charts. What most people don't know is that she made the record on a technicality - she released a single after The Greatest Love Of All which didn't even make the mainstream chart (hence the technicality). It did however reach #10 on the R&B charts.

What was the song?

 

[m0j0]

Whitney Houston is not exactly my field of expertise so I needed some help with this one.

Thinking About You
released between Saving and How Will I Know

edit: Just realised you said it was released after The Greatest Love Of All, so I think I might be wrong.

 

[Azkatro]

Nah Thinking About You is the one. I'm going by this site http://www.whitney-houston.com/musician/discography/singles/ which places it after Greatest Love, but it doesn't have a month associated with it either so you might be right.

Correct!

 

[m0j0]

While we're on Whitney Houston, which artist/album took over from Whitney's record of biggest selling debut album?

 

[Azkatro]

I'll take a pot shot first before hitting the search engines

Was it Boyz II Men's effort? Dunno the name... End of the Road? If not that then my next guess would be Mariah
