apologies for the delay in posting this, I was a little busy the week I was supposed to get it posted (and have just kinda been putting it off since then as it was late already). But without further ado I present the 10th and final (for now) Chart Forum Quiz.

It's a Family Fortunes* which means you are looking for the answer that you think the most other people will put. Scoring will be the same as ever - you get one point for each other player who has the same answer as you on any given question.

To enter just pop a PM in http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=8300 with an answer to each of the following 10 questions. I'll give y'all about a week to enter, will probably do results on the evening of Thursday 28th unless something comes up, will accept any answers up to that point (unless it's like a minute before results start, don't be that last minute). Without further ado:

1. Name a UK top 10 single with an animal in its title.
2. Name a song title that has been a UK #1 for at least two different artists, but with different songs (i.e. not one being a cover of the other).
3. Name a song that has reached the UK top 10 in at least two separate chart runs.
4. Name an artist with at least one UK #1 single and at least 5 top 10 hits in total, but with no #1s as the lead artist.
5. Name an artist whose first studio album reached #1, but their second missed the top 10.
6. Name an artist who had a gap of at least 10 years between consecutive appearances in the UK Singles Chart top 10.
7. Name an album that features at least 2 UK #1 singles, but did not itself get to #1 on the albums chart.
8. Name a UK #1 album which only spent one week in the top 5.
9. Name a UK #1 album in 2016, 2017 or 2018 that was 'surprising' in some way.
10. Name what you think the next major change / new rule in the official charts will be.

I tried to word these questions as unambiguously as possible but if there's any confusion do ask and I'll clarify if necessary. Bear in mind though that this is Family Fortunes which means you just want the answer most people put down, it doesn't matter if it's wrong, so don't worry about giving answers that are technically not exactly right (apart from the fact that they're unlikely to be the top answer).

I also threw in a couple of questions near the end that are a bit more subjective than the usual in past FF rounds. Hope y'all don't mind the slight change. I just often find those kind of questions to be among the more interesting ones in Lounge quizzes.

^{*I was down for a Pointless but we already had 4 of those and only 3 FFs, plus I like the FF format more xx}

For #6, does the artist need to have lead credit or can it be as a feature?

Posted by: Bré 20th June 2018, 04:20 AM

Either is fine. x

England's last group match is next Thursday evening. It will be over by 9:00 if you want to wait until then.

Posted by: Bré 22nd June 2018, 05:30 PM

Bump before this falls off the front page already. x

Good point. I'll see if I feel like doing late results, failing that it might be Friday instead.

Posted by: 777666jason 25th June 2018, 07:01 PM

Bump had to go to page 2 to find this (I didn’t miss one last week did I )

Entered Great round, really got me thinking! Plus Polyhex is glitching right now so I had to work harder than usual anyway but I'm happy with my answers.

Posted by: vibe 26th June 2018, 09:27 AM

Really interested in the answers for question 2 because there are so many options.

Can we still enter?

Posted by: Bré 26th June 2018, 04:10 PM

Please do xx (still open for at least a couple more days, at the moment I'm not actually sure when I'll be doing results)

Posted by: BridgeCow 28th June 2018, 10:46 PM

Ayyyy I entered

Actually struggled so much with that though lmao, like Q9 I had NO idea so I just went with one I’ve never heard of whoops

Posted by: 777666jason 30th June 2018, 11:04 AM

Did I miss the results thread

Posted by: danG 30th June 2018, 11:21 AM

nope, Bré hasn't done results yet, not sure when he is either.

If you haven't entered yet Bré will probably still accept your answers.

Posted by: Bré 30th June 2018, 12:07 PM

I'm probably not actually going to be able to do results until like Thursday now so it's still open for a while longer. Had a disappointingly low number of players so far anyway, probably gonna send some reminder PMs to some of the regular participants in the next couple of days ~

Posted by: gavindeejay 30th June 2018, 02:42 PM

Sorry Bre. I’ll try and get mine in by the end of the weekend if that’s ok?

Posted by: awardinary 30th June 2018, 02:44 PM

Entered!

Posted by: HarryEzra 30th June 2018, 08:57 PM

Bre did you get my answers I noticed my name is not in the OP?

Posted by: Mack. 30th June 2018, 09:50 PM

Entered, this may not be the best round for me.

Posted by: Bré 1st July 2018, 10:48 AM

Yup, just hadn't updated the OP yet! Up to 22 players ~

Posted by: Bré 5th July 2018, 05:36 PM

Last call for last minute players (still only had 26, would be nice to at least get to 30) - results for this are 100% coming tomorrow, starting to add them up now. x

Posted by: gavindeejay 5th July 2018, 10:08 PM

Finally put mine in!
