BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ Chart Forum Quiz ///// Week 5 ///// POINTLESS
Posted by: Zárate 7th May 2018, 08:30 PM
HI EVERYBODY, NICE TO SEE YOU ALL
This week I'm hosting the chart forum quiz, and it's gonna be Pointless. The rules are all the same, but just a reminder:
1. There are 12 questions in this quiz, you have to give the answer guessing which of them is going to be the least popular between the players of Buzzjack.
2. A reminder that you must give the correct answer, and as we are playing it in the UK Chart forum, all the questions are about the official UK singles or albums chart (depending on question), unless otherwise stated. "Tricks" with giving the answer from UK sales chart, UK dance chart, UK albums streaming chart, Billboard chart etc. etc. will result in the wrong answer for you.
3. You can PM me the answers until Sunday, May 13th, 5 PM BST.
The scoring
1. For every right answer you get as many points as many people gave that same answer, including yours. However, if you give a unique correct answer, you get the big fat zero, i.e. pointless, which gives you some extra advantage.
2. And as usually, for every wrong answer you are fined with the points equal to the number of this round's participants.
And here are the questions
1. Name a single that went to #1 which would have spent zero weeks at #1 if Accelerate Chart Ratio hadn’t been applied to the charts.
2. Name a studio Kylie Minogue album which spent more than 3 weeks in the top-10.
3. *sponsored by Campaign for better transport* Name an artist who charted in the singles chart and whose name contains a motor vehicle that is not a car. N.B. That vehicle should be a separate word, ‘Lil YACHTy’ and such won’t count.
4. Name a Buzzjack Song Contest winner song which went top-100 in the official singles charts. Only the main contest winners count; spin-offs, best ofs etc. don’t count.
5. Name a single by a male group which reached the #1 since 2005 till now. N.B. That group must consist of 3 or more people, must only consist of males and the group must not perform on the X-Factor UK with any song.
6. Name a top-100 single from an artist which has made to the top-16 of the BBC Sound of 2018. That single must solely be credited by this artist and not feature any other artists.
7. Name a Dance #1 of 1997 (Dance #1 is determined by Colm of our very own Buzzjack in the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=179328!)
8. Name a single which slid down by exactly one place for 4 consecutive weeks within the top-40 in the single charts.
9. Name a Sugababes single (of any incarnation of its members) which went top-100 but didn’t make the top-10.
10. Name a drum&bass song which went top-20 in the singles chart.
11. Name a #1 album by Arctic Monkeys which spent more than 20 weeks in the top-75.
12. Name an artist whose songs occupied a #1 and a #2 in the singles chart of the same date. Also name these songs.
Enjoy!

I'm confused on question 5, we're not allowed any male group who have ever performed on X-Factor UK?
Posted by: Zárate 7th May 2018, 08:56 PM
^yes, only the ones who didn’t perform there count!
Posted by: Midge 7th May 2018, 10:00 PM
Are you talking contestants or also guest performances?
Posted by: Zárate 7th May 2018, 10:13 PM
Contestants and the artists with guest performances are all excluded

Still getting that PROMO.
Posted by: Colm 7th May 2018, 10:36 PM
You deserve half the credit
Posted by: awardinary 7th May 2018, 10:57 PM
Entered!

What is question three about ?
Posted by: Dexton 8th May 2018, 01:14 PM
An artist who has a vehicle in their name I think. So for example “The Helicopters” would be an acceptable answer if they existed
I thinkkk
Posted by: vibe 8th May 2018, 01:49 PM
^ cheers
Posted by: Bjork 8th May 2018, 01:51 PM
^ in the top 40? 100?
Posted by: Zárate 8th May 2018, 08:29 PM
I thinkkk
Yeppp, that's right!
And by "charting" you have to chart anywhere in the top-100 in the singles.
Posted by: Theo. 9th May 2018, 03:16 PM
I don't understand question #12?
Posted by: Zárate 9th May 2018, 03:53 PM
There are a few cases when the same artist occupied both #1 and #2 in the singles chart at the same time. I'm asking you to name that artist and these songs.
Edited this question a bit for more clearance.
Updated the players list, 9 people submitted their answers so far!

I thought that was what you meant. Thanks!
Posted by: 777666jason 9th May 2018, 07:37 PM
That was hard but I learnt some new things about buzzjack I never knew so thanks for that
Hopefully I do badly ( lol jk but I keep surprising myself with my results makes me want to do more of them)
Posted by: gavindeejay 9th May 2018, 08:16 PM
Just submitted mine. A tough one this week!
Posted by: Zárate 11th May 2018, 07:15 PM
Up to 15 players, hopefully will get about 20 more votes in less than two days.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 12th May 2018, 08:30 AM
I'll get this done at some point before the deadline!
Posted by: Zárate 12th May 2018, 09:53 PM
Up to 17 votes. At this rate even if you do a Camerqn and send the deliberately wrong answers you'll still get points to the overall leaderboard!
Also I'm extending the deadline to 5 PM of Sunday, as I'm going to be away for most of the day tomorrow.
Posted by: SamJudd 12th May 2018, 11:06 PM
Just submitted mine, fingers crossed.
Posted by: Dobbo 13th May 2018, 11:58 AM
Found the album questions the hardest as couldn't find a resource for album runs like there is polyhex for singles.
Posted by: Jade 13th May 2018, 01:44 PM
Answers sent! Thank you for the extension.
Posted by: Zárate 13th May 2018, 02:31 PM
I'm actually back earlier than I expected, but the deadline still stands at no less than 5 pm, as promised earlier!
Number of players now up to 25, please check the list in the opening post just in case. I still hope we'll get above 30 players somehow! If you want to participate, you still have time. Thanks
Posted by: danG 13th May 2018, 02:55 PM
I've sent mine! I wonder if the number of players has decreased due to the questions being really tough or if we're in quiz fatigue already.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th May 2018, 03:07 PM
Just entered, this was really hard, especially question 8.
Posted by: Dobbo 13th May 2018, 03:10 PM
Yeah I was very lucky with Q8 as I happened to just know a (pretty famous) song that fit that exact criteria. I could imagine spending an age trying to find a correct answer (so my heart goes out to the host who must have to check every single chart run ever 
) I kid, I'm sure there's a list somewhere on this forum!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 13th May 2018, 03:48 PM
Hang on the deadline's 5? I just assumed it was midnight like usual On it now!
Posted by: 777666jason 13th May 2018, 04:07 PM
) I kid, I'm sure there's a list somewhere on this forum!Hopefully it's not the same one I put or dammit you stopping me from getting pointless answers already
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 13th May 2018, 04:19 PM
FINALLY entered, spent about 15 minutes looking for an answer for #8 and I've probably gone with the most obvious song in the book but at least it's correct.
Posted by: UltraReputation 13th May 2018, 04:23 PM
#8 legit took me forever and I finally found one which'll never be pointless
(I kept finding so many of my faves had 3 weeks but never 4!!)
Posted by: danG 13th May 2018, 04:45 PM
looks like everyone's going for the same song for Q8 then including me 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th May 2018, 04:48 PM
I literally just guessed one for #8, I'm almost certainly it's not right
Posted by: Zárate 13th May 2018, 05:20 PM
Meanwhile I finish compiling your answers there’s the last chance to jump on the last Train.
To be honest with you I didn’t really feel the questions were that hard, but I guess that’s the bias of the host.
Posted by: Yorkie3 13th May 2018, 05:44 PM
Aww no, completely forgot to enter 
Posted by: vibe 13th May 2018, 06:11 PM
I’ve just come across another song for Q8 
Oh well lol
Posted by: Zárate 13th May 2018, 06:13 PM
if you're super quick to send it to me I'll edit it! I'm finishing up.
Posted by: 777666jason 13th May 2018, 06:16 PM
That could be true I know I had to do an hour's research to get my answers
That and your really have to know or get inside each quiz hosts head to find them "easy"
Posted by: Jade 13th May 2018, 06:23 PM
Aw for #8 I just went with something really safe so it wouldn't be wrong but I've just thought of something else that I think would be pointless, damn
Posted by: Zárate 13th May 2018, 06:32 PM
CLOSED. Thanks to 29 of you who participated!
Posted by: 777666jason 13th May 2018, 06:42 PM
29 at least everyone gets points
