Elton John’s fourth studio album, Madman Across The Water, is one of the best albums he ever wrote. Certified two-times platinum in the US, it peaked at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, staying on the tally for one week shy of a full year. Even without the benefit of what could be called a hit single (nothing charted above #24) it remains a fan favorite the world over.

Want to find out if you’re one of the “Rotten Peaches” or a “Blue-jean baby”? Test your knowledge with the “Madman Across The Water” quiz below!

The Carpenters started a four week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with '(They Long To Be) Close To You'. The first of three US No.1's and 17 other Top 40 hits. The song was written in 1963 by Hal David and Burt Bacharach and was first offered to Herb Alpert, who said he didn't feel comfortable singing the line 'so they sprinkled moon dust in your hair'.
