1 | Emma Bunton

0 | Victoria Beckham

WhoOdyssey

Commentary

A very promising start for many participants on this question. Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell is the clear leader with over three quarters of the overall points as she has managed to rock up 4 UK #1 solo singles in her career. Melanie C comes second after achieving 2 solo UK #1 singles. Melanie B had just one solo #1 single to her name and the same is true of Emma Bunton also. The only incorrect answer here was Victoria Beckham whose the only Spice Girl not to have a solo #1 single in the UK, so bad luck to WhoOdyssey here.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th April 2018, 08:56 PM

Why the hell did I go for Victoria?!

Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 15th April 2018, 08:56 PM

Genuinely had no idea who to put for that.

I don’t know much about the Spice Girls. I wasn’t even born when they released their biggest hit!

Posted by: King Rollo 15th April 2018, 08:56 PM

A safe start.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th April 2018, 08:56 PM

Phew, dodged an early bullet there as I was close to going for Mel C.

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 08:57 PM

I had originally put Emma Bunton down when thinking this was pointless. It's weird how more than half of us put Geri!!

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 08:57 PM

Please don't, that makes me feel so old and I'm not even!

Posted by: BridgeCow 15th April 2018, 08:58 PM

Lmao I had 0 clue what to put for that either

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 08:59 PM

Woo, I felt quite confident with that one as Geri has notched up 4 #1s (the most of all of them) and of course she left the group for her solo career!

1 | Digital Sales Data

Sarah, WhoOdyssey

0 | Link to iTunes Chart

paulgilb

Commentary

A much more wide open question this that seemed to split the majority. Kworb just edges it as the most popular platform for iTunes data, maybe because many of the comments within the iTunes weekly threads concern the colour codes of how well or badly a song is doing. Not too far behind is Live Pop Bars which is used to feed live data to the community. Two people correctly said Digital Sales Data, which scores one point. The only other answer given was a link to iTunes Chart which unfortunately was not specific enough to be accepted.

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:05 PM

Oooh currently joint first

Posted by: Queef of Peace 15th April 2018, 09:06 PM

THIS!!!! THIS!!! 1000X THIS!!!!!!!

That and Out Of Your Mind should have been no.1s. Jealousy and Murdoch press stopped both - ESPECIALLY the latter.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th April 2018, 09:06 PM

Just went with the top one for that Q!

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 09:08 PM

Same logic here!

(and britster ofc)

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:08 PM

I still feel for Victoria being the one who didn't manage a solo number 1. Her solo material totally eclipsed Mel B's... and I never rated solo Geri either...

Posted by: Queef of Peace 15th April 2018, 09:10 PM

I can tell by your double post that you really feel what you are saying.

I feel it too.

VB, Emma and Mel C had the best material, with mel B's Feels So Good on that list too. It was the press and jealousy that stopped VB from breaking out. No wonder she gave uo. Did you hear how rude Jonathan Ross/ his twatty audience were yo her? I doubt the sycophantic twat would have dared talk to any other guest like that.

Posted by: Suedehead2 15th April 2018, 09:10 PM

If this was Pointless that remark would earn you a yellow card

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:12 PM

No, I don't remember!

She's had the last laugh anyway really - she's done SO well for herself and (based on Brooklyn at least) both her and David seem to be raising some really nice, well rounded and cultured kids.

0 | Fool Again

cantthinkofaname

0 | No Answer

Suedehead2

Commentary

Westlife had a grand total of 14 UK #1 singles in their career, making this possibly the most wide open question of the whole quiz. 7 different singles were given as answers with 5 of them scoring any points. The highest scorer this round was Flying Without Wings which despite only lasting a single week at the top spot remains one of their most famous songs. Swear It Again which was the lads debit single comes joint second along with You Raise Me Up which was another of their most popular ballads. Points are also given in this round for Uptown Girl, I Have A Dream and World Of Our Own. Unfortunately, no points will be awarded for Fool Again in this round, neither for Suedehead2 who strangley neglected to give an answer for this question (but I am sure that was just a lapse of concentration).

Posted by: Queef of Peace 15th April 2018, 09:14 PM

It was the rudest, most unprofessional interview I've ever seen!

You'd have thought he had Colonel Gaddafi on the sofa!

Yup - she showed the bullies in the end. Most people were just jealous as they fancied David Beckham and she didn't smile like a Cheshire at because she married him

Posted by: Dobbo 15th April 2018, 09:15 PM

I am very surprised to see a relative landslide in that Q!

Posted by: Queef of Peace 15th April 2018, 09:16 PM

More like h refused to acknowledge they had any hits, which I was tempted to do. DISGRACE of a karaoke 'band'

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 09:17 PM

'You Raise Me Up' was actually the first to come into my head for that one, but then I suddenly remembered the existence of 'Flying Without Wings' which seems to be their classic. Thank goodness for that switch as that is quite a bit of a landslide

Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 15th April 2018, 09:18 PM

Ugh messed up the West life q!

I don't follow modern charts as they are full of SHET

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:21 PM

Absolutely LOATHED "Flying Without Wings" but I had a feeling it'd be top answer. That's 3/3

0 | Pharrell Williams

WhoOdyssey

Commentary

During the glittering career of Calvin Harris, he has worked with a plethera of talented singers, and many have scored him massive hits too. All but one of the names given were female singers who themselves have had big hits in the UK. Rihanna was the most popular choice in this round from her well known collaborations on We Found Love in 2011 and This Is What You Came For in 2016. By my reckoning the next Calvin/Rihanna collab will come in 2021! Ellie Goulding was the second highest scorer in this round, and in third place Florence Welch. Calvin's most recent collaboration with Dua Lipa scores a point too. Other correct answers given included Katy Perry, Kelis and Pharrell Williams but sadly no points awarded.

Posted by: King Rollo 15th April 2018, 09:23 PM

I don't remember Swear It Again but I picked it as it was the first one.

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:23 PM

What on earth made me put Florence over Rihanna?

Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 15th April 2018, 09:24 PM

Yep, it was SO HARD not to go with Ellie but obviously, Rihanna gave Calvin his biggest hit so naturally I went for that one.

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 09:25 PM

It had to be Rihanna because, ya know, BuzzJack. (also 'We Found Love' was a bonafide smash ofc)

Posted by: Suedehead2 15th April 2018, 09:26 PM

I don't know what happened there. I meant to say Flying Without Wings

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:27 PM

OF COURSE you did Suedey

Posted by: Suedehead2 15th April 2018, 09:28 PM

Bjork

Commentary

Ah Sir Drake, you either love him or hate him for dominating the charts, but regardless how you feel he is a clear force to be reckoned with when it comes to chart battles. He hasn't appeared in the Now series as often as you might think though, in fact only appearing on 6 occasions in total as either a lead artist or featured artist. Now 95 was the most popular answer given in this round when he featured on that valume with his 15-week #1 One Dance. Now 99, the most recent release in the series, featured Drake as a featured artist with BlocBoy, and this scored second highest. The only other volume to score points this round is the one that featured Hotline Bling which was the 94th volume. He did feature on Now 86 but this won't score any points this round. Now 96 and Now 98 are incorrect answers unfortunately.

Posted by: King Rollo 15th April 2018, 09:31 PM

I thought Suedehead was just not acknowledging Westlife's existence.

Posted by: J▲hq 15th April 2018, 09:31 PM

F*** y'all I wish I could wipe "Feels" from my mind as easily as the rest of you. It was a #1 just last year

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:32 PM

Sucks to be Gavin, Jack or Bjork there

The two most recent editions only getting one vote though?!

Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 15th April 2018, 09:32 PM

Yay, I knew Drake was on Now 99, but that was just a feature so I went with the last lead single!

Posted by: Queef of Peace 15th April 2018, 09:32 PM

I'm so jealous he managed that!!!


I literally just googled Now that's what I call music Drake

Posted by: HarryEzra 15th April 2018, 09:32 PM

I thought you would have gone for Ellie because its Ellie

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:33 PM

Please can you go back and not betray Ellie so you score less points and don't beat me?

Posted by: Suedehead2 15th April 2018, 09:33 PM

Posted by: UltraReputation 15th April 2018, 09:40 PM

I nearly went with Rihanna but I thought it could've been wrong cos she was the lead on we found love (and I just remembered first of all this is family fortunes so wrong answers are fine and I forgot about their other collab's existence fml 😂)

Commentary

Perhaps it is no surprise that the very first Critics Choice Award winner Adele came out top on this round. All 3 of her albums were given as acceptable answers, but it was her second album 21 which scored the most points, in fact incidentally with 21 people all giving that as their answer! The second highest scorer was Human by Rag'N'Bone Man which was the second biggest selling album in 2017. Debut albums from Emeli Sandé and Adele also scored points in this round. Other correct answers given for albums from Adele, Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith did not score any points. Dua Lipa was an incorrect answer given as she was sadly not the recipient of a Critics Choice Award.

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 09:41 PM

I had to go with the edition that featured the behemoth that was 'One Dance' doing really well so far *.*

Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 15th April 2018, 09:41 PM

AAAHHHHH FFS!!! Why did I go for 19!!!

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:42 PM

Oh great, sucks to be me, but at least cqmquat only got 1. Must beat cqmquat. AND I went with Ellie and he didn't MWAHA

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 09:42 PM

'25' was actually the first album to come into my head, I guess due to recency, but then I thought hang on a minute... '21' was just so undeniably big, so I had to go for that one! Slay me Adele. (poor dj_tim_e, Sam Smith being good for nothing x)

Posted by: Mack. 15th April 2018, 09:44 PM

At least we both got the point. But I'm frustrated that I didn't go for '21' also.

Posted by: J▲hq 15th April 2018, 09:45 PM

Why did no one else go for 25!!!!! HER MOST RECENT ALBUM. I really can not. How did Emeli and Rag'n'Bone Man get more answers

7. Name any peak chart position reached by Clean Bandit

39 | #1

Commentary

Ok, not perhaps what I was expecting from this round, and I guess a question like this is better suited to a game of Pointless than Family Fortunes! Nonetheless, on a rare occasion, it is a 100% turnout for the #1 peak which Clean Bandit achieved on three occasions with Rather Be, Rockabye and Symphony. Of course, they have peaked at other chart positions too, but due to the nature of the question, I guess the most obvious answer would be to select the highest peak they achieved in their career. Someone should ask a question like this for the next Pointless quiz though.

Posted by: King Rollo 15th April 2018, 09:54 PM

I thought of Adele but went for Rag'n'Bone Man as the most recent.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th April 2018, 09:54 PM

Yeah would have been amazed if anyone DIDN'T put #1 for that Q!

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:54 PM

love it!

Posted by: gavindeejay 15th April 2018, 09:58 PM

I knew I’d get some points somewhere

Posted by: danG 15th April 2018, 10:00 PM

0 | Leona Lewis

WhoOdyssey

Commentary

Not all winners singles on The X Factor go on to sell the kinds of numbers that were once possible, but there are a selct few who did manage to surpass the 1 million mark with their debut singles. Top of that list is Alexandra Burke, whose version of Hallelujah went on to sell a record 1.297 million copies as of August 2016 making it the biggest X Factor winner's single to date. The second biggest seller, selling 1.25 million copies was Impossible by James Arthur. Selling 1.1 million copies of That's My Goal, Shayne Ward is another member of that select few who achieved the feat too, but only one person knew that and they won't score any points. However, one of the best known winners to come out of The X Factor, Leona Lewis, is not a member of this club, and as such, her debut single A Moment Like This is not correct, however, this answer was not given by either participant who named her, so unfortunately no points for them.

Posted by: danG 15th April 2018, 10:05 PM

Of course It was going to be Alexandra, being the only female to meet the criteria!!

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 10:05 PM

How many more Qs to go?

1 | Blue Pearl - Naked In The Rain

gavindeejay, vibe

1 | Ida Maria - I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked

Liam, Midge

Commentary

As there was only recently a single in the charts with the word "Naked" in the title, it was most probable that the majority would recall it to mind when thinking of an answer to give for this question. James Arthur's single was the top answer given here. In the 90's there was another single called Naked by Louise and a number of participants gave that as their answer. Points are also awarded to those who named Blue Pearl and Ida Maria too. The only other elligible answer that could have been given was another single called Naked from 1995 by Reef which peaked at #11.

How would Pointless work though; where would we get 100 people to name as many of X in 100 seconds for Y categories

Also, derp, forgot about James Arthur somehow (!)

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 10:14 PM

Recency factor there and James had a pretty memorable peak of #11!

This is going too well (soz Midge x), I think I've only had one answer that wasn't a top score and that was still second most popular. -flops last question-

Commentary

I knew you were looking forward to seeing the result of this question! It is ironic that the most popular answer given was in fact an incorrect answer! JosephAvery was formerly a chart moderator, but now moderates the entire forum as a Global Moderator, however, this of course does still entitle him to moderate the chart forum if he wishes, so it is an answer I will allow. Even the man himself named himself as a chart moderator! Other popular answers given here include danG, Joe, Mart!n and Jay ☆ who all work hard to moderate various aspects of our chart forum. liamk97 was another correct answer, as was Riser, also moderates the International Charts and Personal Charts forum, but neither score points on this occasion. Some surprising wrong answers given including myself whose never been a moderator before, along with Bré, gooddelta, PeteFromLeeds and the non-descript "Chart Mod" which of course is a term used for the selected chart moderators. There was no mention of *Ben*, Gezza, Umi, Berrier Cody, mdh or SevenSeize.

YES in your face Jade, I've gained 5 back on you! And who did cqmquat vote for on that one?!

Also thank goodness for Liam sharing my naked thoughts cos we scored each other a point!

Chart Mod is my fave Chart Mod!

Pointless is run as a quiz in the Lounge all the time (hype for Lounge Quizzes which will be starting again around summer 2018 ) - the way it works is that you just get points based on how many other players said the same thing as you. It's not perfect and it makes the game kind of random and hard to strategise but it's still fun. x

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 10:22 PM

My immediate thought was Joseph but I switched as he's a Global Mod, dammit!!

Gah Midge excited to find out the results!

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 10:23 PM

So BASICALLY it'd be the opposite of this then?

Posted by: awardinary 15th April 2018, 10:24 PM

So I can reveal that one player scored maximum points available, and the scoreboard will be posted in the next few minutes.

Posted by: Bré 15th April 2018, 10:24 PM

Apologies for not being around to comment on this live, too many other things going on on BuzzJack today - caught up just in time for the results! I think I got the top answer for all but one question (the Now! one, I guess Drake only being a feature on Now! 99 worked against that being the obvious answer ) - not surprised at all at the Clean Bandit question having 100% the same answers (I said as much in my PM). And LMAO at Joseph actually being the top answer for Q10 despite that not even technically being a correct answer - it was still my kneejerk response and I didn't even realise my blunder until after I sent it

Honoured at SM351 thinking I'm a chart mod - I was a few years ago but not any more I'm afraid!

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 10:24 PM

JADE DIDN'T WIN

I am shook

Posted by: Bré 15th April 2018, 10:25 PM

Correct!

Posted by: Jade 15th April 2018, 10:26 PM

MY DOWNFALL STARTS NOW!!!

Fingers crossed for top 3! 8/10 top was pretty fab.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th April 2018, 10:26 PM

I guess technically Joseph isn't explicitly a "Chart Mod" anymore but he's the immediate first poster I think of when it comes to the UK Chart Forum due to his Chart Show thread hosting.

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 10:26 PM

I could do that...

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 10:27 PM

The rebellion is on!

*marches in*

Posted by: awardinary 15th April 2018, 10:29 PM

So it’s with great pleasure that I be the first to congratulate Chez Wombat for scoring 232 points out of a maximum 232 points!!!

Thanks for everyone who took part in this quiz, and thanks to the chart mods for allowing me to host!

Posted by: danG 15th April 2018, 10:29 PM

Joseph is most definitely a chart mod still! I knew he'd be the top answer even though he's not listed as a chart mod, though I was very tempted to put down myself!!

Oh wow slay at me coming 2nd and WD Chez Wombat!! A contest you can finally beat your fellow co green globs in!!

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 10:30 PM

Congrats Chez and thank you awardinary! Enjoyed that

Posted by: Bré 15th April 2018, 10:30 PM

WD Chez x If only I had thought to go with the last Now album that had a Drake song as lead artist on it.

Thanks for running this Wardy! x

Posted by: UltraReputation 15th April 2018, 10:31 PM

WD Chez <3 Me coming 10th for the second time today!! And thanks for running this Wardy <3

Really enjoyed this and hope this re-kickstarts these games in the forum *.* (I've volunteered to host a pointless x)

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 10:31 PM

If y'all are genuinely interested in a chart forum Pointless I'll turn into Midgexander Armstrong and sort out something for y'all

Perhaps we could run that and this bi-weekly or something

Posted by: HarryEzra 15th April 2018, 10:32 PM

Oh dear I flopped lmaoo. Congratulations Chez!! Fab hosting Wardy was so fun to do.

Posted by: gavindeejay 15th April 2018, 10:33 PM

Congrats Chez! Trust me to come stone dead last as predicted!

Thanks for a great game awardinary! Would be well up for doing that again [indent][/indent]

Posted by: Suedehead2 15th April 2018, 10:33 PM

Thanks for running this Wardy. It's been good fun. And well done to Chez!

Posted by: gavindeejay 15th April 2018, 10:34 PM

Go for it buddy! I’ll definitely take part!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th April 2018, 10:37 PM

Posted by: Queef of Peace 15th April 2018, 11:01 PM

Posted by: Liаm 15th April 2018, 11:16 PM

Oops flop!

I was gonna put Joseph for chart mod but I wasn't sure if he was technically GM not chart mod and just still helps out with chart stuff

Posted by: King Rollo 15th April 2018, 11:35 PM

Well done Chez. Very impressed at your maximum score. Thanks,Wardy.

Posted by: Riser 16th April 2018, 02:32 AM

Wow, congrats Chez! This was fun, I should've bothered to use Google/Wiki on more than just the Now question, but at least I avoided last I guess

I did the EXACT same :')

Sarah my new fave *.*

Same

Posted by: Dexton 16th April 2018, 02:40 AM

Congrats Chez!

at me & Riser being the only ones to put World Of Out Own!! It was literally the only song of theirs I could remember, benefits of growing up with singstar x

Posted by: vibe 16th April 2018, 04:12 AM

This was fun.

I selected my fav in some questions rather than thinking what BJ would pick .

Can’t wait for next round .

Posted by: BridgeCow 16th April 2018, 05:30 AM

Congrats Chez! That perfect score

Posted by: Dircadirca 16th April 2018, 09:50 AM

Thanks awardinary for running this and major congrats Chez for achieving perfection.

That Westlife question really threw me for a loop. It feels like the sort of cultural osmosis where if it's outside of your ball park (hi), there's like no way of knowing. I went for Swear It Again because I felt as though they didn't have a definitive, defining hit, but that was a pretty big one and their first, but it's interesting just how much the vote sways to Flying Without Wings. I didn't even look at chart runs or Spotify plays when I submitted, but both of those would have just been further noise that doesn't support the 'correct' answer. It's really interesting how these things work out, and it's why the unveiling of results is always so exciting.

Posted by: mack25 16th April 2018, 09:53 AM

Congrats to Chez

Coming in sixth wasn't a bad result... To think I could have been joint-winner if i had got the "Now Series" question correct. Damn lol so close!

Posted by: cantthinkofaname 16th April 2018, 02:59 PM

ok LMAO yas at me smashing in at third-to-last

- I totally missed Adele being a Critics Choice winner lmfao, idk why I went with Ellie Goulding instead hahaha.

- I understood the X Factor question as just any single by an X Factor winner to have sold more than a million lmao.

- I have no idea who's a chart mod and who's not. I figured awardinary might be one since he made the quiz hahaha.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 16th April 2018, 03:23 PM

If you click on the 'chart mod' link on the far right of the 'UK Charts' section it brings up all of them (with the exception of Joseph since he's a GM now)

Posted by: Chez Wombat 16th April 2018, 05:52 PM

Sorryyy I missed as I was sleeping, but *.*.*, I don't think I've ever got a clean sheet before and it's been so long since I've last won a quiz counting the Lounge ones, wonderful, I must admit all of these had a pretty clear answer to me, though I NEARLY went with Impossible for the X Factor question as it was the better selling plus there was a question that linked to him, but I was swayed by Buzzjack logic, thankfully in this case! I detest that version of Hallelujah so much so that was probably the most joy it has ever bought me.

Thanks Wardy, great to see these quizzes becoming regular again

Posted by: Dobbo 16th April 2018, 09:29 PM

Well done Chez & well run Wardy!
