In The Mood
Henhouse Five Plus Too and Ray Stevens was the same act - viz http://www.rrr.org.au/assets/ray-stevens-and-the-henhouse-five-plus-two.jpg
You are correct, the site rules suggest that the artist name for the US chart should be set to the more generic version, so we've changed it to Ray Stevens (and put a comment on the artist page).
Thanks for the suggestion
