One of the songs which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart during the 1980's has the longest official title* of any song to have appeared on the Billboard Pop Chart.

* Its official title in the US and Canada (as on the record and in Billboard and RPM).

Name the recording artist(s)/ act.

Stars on 45

(The song is a medley and the title is like every goddamn song in the medley and I don't know it by heart.)

That's why I asked for the name of the recording act, not the song title.

It's usually called 'Beatles Medley ' or 'Medley Intro Venus '.
I always knew it as The Stars on 45 Medley because it was so famous. (I am sure they have other medleys but that's the only one I know.)

I recall an ABBA medley receiving a fair amount of airplay in Montreal, early 80's, but on stations I didn't listen to by choice. Those 'faceless' studio acts pretty much died out when MTV started.

In the UK, mid 60's to early 80's, quite a number of ersatz bands released songs. If they became hits, the producers would hire some photogenic people to mime the songs on Top of the Pops, and sometimes play some live gigs.

That was also the case with the Buddah/ Kama Sutra label bubblegum pop groups, (Ohio Express, 1910 Fruitgum Company). They both performed on an episode of the German Beat Club, and the members were completely different from the ones who appeared on the picture sleeve 45's, and those guys had nothing to do with the recordings, either. They just had the right look for Tiger Beat.
