Just curious.

Yes, loads. This Charming Man is probably the most famous. Here's their chart info [which only includes stuff I own, but is probably all of them]:

Far fewer. The most famous one would almost certainly be "Every Day Is Like Sunday".

Swot :)

The question is really attempting to discover what songs you might reasonably expect the average non-Smiths-fan-on-the-street to know.
