O/T Mega Poptastic Pop Quiz (43)

I'm going to keep posting these until we sign a serious goal scorer so it might be a while

Songs cross many decades, there are some tough ones in this one and some predate charts. There is a theme, it might help you if you work it out but then again it might not.

Song title and artists needed and limit 5 entries per poster to start with (if you are going for 5 please try and put them all in one reply). If there are any left you are allowed a 2nd set of 5 after 6pm Tuesday. NO GOOGLING PLEASE. Pull the answers from the depths of your brain.

I'll take those CT although I had Thin Lizzie for 5 and Linda Ronstadt for 32 but yours are also correct and it's immaterial to this quiz. Also, in keeping with the theme you really needed the full title of 26.
