In 1976, the first song to reach #1 in the UK contained the title of the second song to reach #1 that same year. Name both songs.

Technically, one was a 1975 song, and I think Kurt cost the C.F. Martin company $40,000 and not Quentin.
I’ll leave the other three to the rest of you, if they can figure it out.

Yup, ‘75. Mea culpa.
Tarantino has to post a surety bond with Martin for the use of the guitar, so Tarantino was out of pocket, not Martin.
Those nitpicks aside, VERY well done.

Quote:Destroyed a guitar on the set of Hateful Eight.
According to Tarantino, Jennifer Jason Leigh’s reaction to the guitar smash was genuine. In the scene, she looks off set and shouts, ‘No, no, no!!’.

The Unguessed:
First song to reach #1 in 1976 was 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen, which contained the phrase 'Mamma Mia' (ABBA), the second #1 song (Editor's Note: The preceding should not any way be construed as endorsing, supporting or enjoying the alleged 'music' of ABBA. It is simply recounting an historic fact).
Knebworth Park was the last time all four original members of Queen appeared together.
