Which of Earth's mountain peaks is furthest from the centre of the earth?

Centre of the earth... so the highest from the centroid? Mt Everest... or maybe Visson Massif in Antarctica?

Or does the bulge factor come into it?

the biggest ?

It's called something like Chirozo, except that's a sausage, so it's not exactly that. It's somewhere in South America I think.
Pretty vague, but we need to move on

Oh yeah, the volcano in Mexico? Is that the furthest from the centre of the earth or the one with the greatest 'profile' above/against the surrounding land?

Furthest from the earth's centre I believe, because it's near the equator, or something like that. Equator = Ecuador - might be there.

There's a volcano in Mexico called Popocatapetl (it might not be spelt exactly like that, but Googling it to check might count as cheating!), is that the one?

Are you there, Il Gialloblu? We're all waiting with baited breath...

Something like that

I'll pose one.

As far as I know, only 3 artists have replaced themselves at the top of the UK singles charts. Can you name them?

I would guess The Beatles and Elvis would be two , maybe Westlife or The Spice Girls as the other ?

Yes The Beatles were first, Elvis was third (however he did it posthumously in the 00's)

There is someone in between and it's a solo artist.

so Elvis didn't do it in the 50/60s that would of been my banker .

Is the solo artist Madonna ?
