Mr Nice GuyCan you answer these musical conumdrums?

Perhaps crop circles really are a sign that we're not alone - and why do dogs sniff each other's butts?
Some things aren't meant to be answered - but the following five music conumdrums came up just the other day - and a few answers would be helpful.
1) What is the minimum number of musicians a band must have to be considered a "big band"?
2) What Beatles single lasted longest on the charts?
3) Which band has sold the most albums?
4) Who is the longest existing rock band in the world?
5) Has there ever been a hit song about a vegetable?

You're gueses are as good as mine - though I do recall someone saying once that a big band comprises no less than 10 members - but I wouldn't lay money on that.
As for the others - we didn't quite have the laptop handy - and I'm relying on the Orble brainstrust.
. . . and err - I don't think Popcorn counts. But I do now recall a song called something like Green Onions.
Don't think Smashing Pumpkins did it though . . .

Longest Beatles song in charts; Help! or maybe Can't Buy Me Love...Hey Jude was a biggie too...I'm so old now, I remember when all these were released! OH! Just remembered, I wanna hold your hand! That was a biggie too.
'The Strolling Bones' gotta be longest, surely?!
a veggie song, now that's a toughie, I am sure there is, maybe more from the folk end of town, Melanie sang about Alexander beetle, don't think she sang about Charles the carrot, I keep thinking about pumpkins, well, Jack and the Bean stalk was...not a song... I'm sticking with pumpkins and I'll say Jack O'Lantern
cheers and how did I do?
