Welcome to the final Chart Forum Quiz Season 4 results thread!



We have 27 players:

jimwatts, Ansel, LiamSime, paulgilb, dan::G, vibe, Dobbo, JulianT, garyfeld, PeteFromLeeds, xajnipi, Mango, n4yr, Riser, rio309, ...ready for it, Bjork, chrissmith276, King Rollo, West, coi, Jade, Bré, Mack., LewisGT, awardinary, Kath

This means three things:

- Everyone who entered will be taking some leaderboard points!

- Each of Julian, Mango, Bjork and myself still have at least some chance of winning the series!

- The highest possible score for a top answer is 26 points – so each of you whose guess for Q13 was lower than 27 are in with a chance of taking these points as a bonus!

I’ll aim to have all the results posted tonight. To maximise the anticipation of where those bonus points are going, I’ll reveal the answers to Q1-Q12 in ascending order of their top answer scores drama.gif

First answer on the way...

Q3. A song that many people might recognise without knowing the title or who performed it

Answers given 22 | Scoring 3 | Top score 3



3 points
Tones & I - Dance Monkey | vibe, JulianT, Bjork, chrissmith276

1 point
Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) | Ansel, LiamSime
Robert Miles - Children | dan::G, garyfeld

0 points
ABBA - Dancing Queen | awardinary
Chumbawamba - Tubthumping | coi
Darude Sandstorm | n4yr
Edvard Grieg - In The Hall of the Mountain King | Jade
Faithless - Insomnia | Kath
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain | Bré
Johnny Mandel - Suicide Is Painless | LewisGT
Killers - Mr. Brightside | Riser
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love | rio309
Los Del Rio - Macarena | Dobbo
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean | ...ready for it
Otto Knows - Million Voices | xajnipi
Pharrell Williams - Happy | West
Pinkfong - Baby Shark | Mango
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody | Mack.
Quincy Jones - Soul Bossa Nova | paulgilb
Rob Dougan - Clubbed To Death | King Rollo
Sigur Rós – Hoppípolla | jimwatts
Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition | PeteFromLeeds

Some place to start... Here is the question with the lowest (or joint lowest) scoring top answer - I added this question late on with little expectation other than there didn’t seem an obvious one. Dance Monkey makes sense though, as it’s the most Shazam-ed song of all time. Points were thin on the ground elsewhere - if this were Pointless, I’d be trying to avoid this scenario as host, but here it’s rather amusing just to see what people came up with.

I almost went for Hoppipolla for that one which would have given me a point.

Q4. A song which peaked at #4 more than a year ago

Answers given 15 | Scoring 6 | Top score 3



3 points
Joel Corry - Lonely | PeteFromLeeds, Mango, Bjork, chrissmith276
Little Mix - Touch | jimwatts, n4yr, coi, Kath
Robbie Williams - Angels | vibe, JulianT, garyfeld, West

1 point
Ariana Grande - God is a woman | Jade, LewisGT
Rihanna (feat. Mikky Ekko) - Stay | Dobbo, awardinary
Taylor Swift - Blank Space | xajnipi, King Rollo

0 points
Ed Sheeran (feat. Camila Cabello & Cardi B) - South Of The Border | Ansel
Jonas Brothers - Sucker | Riser
Kesha - TiK ToK | Bré
Lady Gaga - Paparazzi | dan::G
Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness | paulgilb
Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait | LiamSime
Megan Thee Stallion - Savage | ...ready for it
Muse - Supermassive Black Hole | rio309
Usher (feat. Young Jeezy) - Love In This Club | Mack.

As a prelude to next year’s ‘Buzzjack’s Ultimate UK Number 4 Single’, I asked for hits from over a year ago, to get past the recency bias of the likes of Friday and Watermelon Sugar. That didn’t stop several of you choosing one from only just over a year ago, including four for someone whose current hit now resides at that very same #4 position. It shares top billing here with Little Mix’s six-week #4 and Robbie Williams’ signature song. Rihanna, whose song spent four separate weeks at #4, and some other popular female soloists also bring up a point.

Glad recency paid off here with Joel Corry.

I almost went with South of the Border (sorry Ansel) as that was the last one from 2019 but thought Joel Corry may be in people's minds as mentioned in another question! smile.gif

Glad I didn't miss an obvious one for Q3! Was close to putting something like Bohemian Rhapsody just because it was the most recognisable song full stop but pulled short as it didn't really fit the brief.

A slightly higher top answer, but this question actually yielded fewer points than Q4. I originally considered this as a Pointless question in the last series, but thought that may be too punishing for anyone who couldn’t think of one, so I’ve thrown it in here instead. Unfortunately, that means most of the inspired answers people came up with aren’t rewarded with any points, as those of us on the same wavelength were in the minority. The top answer is very much trivia question territory - I think James Masterton mentioned it when Sorry charted, so I’d heard of it but hadn’t actually listened to it until yesterday (and if prog rock mixed with yodelling appeals to you, I’d recommend you do the same).

Never heard of that Focus song. Not too gutted then as lots of 0 pointers there.

I got a double rhyme in my song title as well haha!

Almost went with Queen - Killer Queen but would have been a zero as well!

Three of us going for the 'name a song with the same title as the artist' strategy but all going for different songs ph34r.gif Not really kicking myself there, the only other song I could think of in the spur of the moment was Gary Moore - After the War which would have been just as fruitless.

I remembered Hocus Pocus appeared in the itunes top 10 a couple of months ago (plus I couldn't think of any other answers for that one).

That was a tough one - I could only think of Le Freak/Chic but looks like there's more than I thought!
