Two bands both of whom had several hit singles so no one off Band Aid type scenario.
Thanks. Am I warm with the era or is that too much of a clue?
No not close.
A clue is that I find this fact more interesting that it has never happened before or since when you think of Osmonds, Jackson’s, Gibbs, Gallaghers etc than who the actual artists are.
Would it help if we were to think of the question more zonally than in terms of eras?
Yes if you know geography 😀
I'm not great at geography tbh but i definitely fancy i am in the right zone today ;)

Problem with clues is which bit is the relevant bit and which is just smoke and mirrors. Which is putting me back out of the zone at the minute.

So a band with two or more brothers or sisters knocked a band off the top spot who had another of their brothers or sisters in it? I just wanna get that straight.

It had more than one but one of the band had 2 siblings in the other band which had more than 2 members.
