Shiny got Jealous Guy, but named a band when it’s a solo and didn’t mention original artist, so I’m not giving points and this is still partially outstanding in my eyes

Where does it go from here?
Haircut 100 got by shiny but title still outstanding

You saw me standing by the wall
Duran Duran got by midge-mug but pipped by shiny by 0.4 of a second. And some time later by Flea. However ALL of you got the title wrong, so no points.
