3. Name an album which missed the UK top 40 despite containing at least one UK top 10 single.
4 Kesha - Warrior // Bré, dan-G, Riser, Klumzee, RobBot 2 Emma Bunton - Life In Mono // Lee_J11, Viper*, dj_tim_e 2 Mariah Carey - Charmbracelet // paulgilb, Bjork, JosephStyles 2 Tones And I - The Kids Are Coming // Scene, jimwatts, Dan17F1 1 DJ Snake - Encore // xajnipi, PeteFromLeeds 1 Doja Cat - Hot Pink // Josh!, Dobbo 1 SAINt JHN - Collection One // King Rollo, West 0 Boney M. - Gold // M4NGO 0 The Chainsmokers - Collage // StoneDragon 0 Dannii Minogue - Girl // vibe 0 Holly Valance - State Of Mind // girlsaloudjunkie 0 Jack Ü - Jack Ü // chrissmith276 0 Jason Derulo - Platinum Hits // Jáhq 0 Kelis - Flesh Tone // Jordan Lee 0 Megan Thee Stallion - SUGA // LewisGT 0 Pitbull - Global Warming // *Callum 0 Pixie Lott - Platinum Pixie: Hits // Jade 0 Portugal. The Man - Woodstock // n4yr 0 Tyga - Legendary // awardinary 0 [no answer] // MrAndrewMan Unsurprisingly this winds up being one of the questions with the lowest score for its top answer - I was expecting this to be very spread out as I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to find a valid answer, but it may be tough for people's logical trains to coincide. As it were, the album I had in mind that inspired this question was Kesha's 2nd studio album 'Warrior' which, released deep into Q4, left a rather rough looking stain on her chart discography by peaking at just #60 despite its lead single 'Die Young' peaking at #7. And that was indeed the top answer, worth a whopping 4 points. Go me. 3 albums apiece were worth either 2 points or 1 point. First among the 2 pointers is Emma Bunton's 'Life In Mono' which seems to be a similar case to Kesha of being screwed over by a Q4 release date, peaking at #65 while home to #3 hit 'Downtown'. I didn't know this was a thing so this is education! Then there's Mariah Carey's somewhat infamous flop 'Charmbracelet', #52 in the UK with #8 peaking single 'Through The Rain', and finally there's Tones And I's EP 'The Kids Are Coming' which is of course home to the monster #1 hit 'Dance Monkey' but never registered at all on the albums chart (I'm assuming it wasn't eligible to chart due to being too short). Then worth a point each are DJ Snake's 'Encore' (#46 in the albums chart and home to #2 peaking 'Let Me Love You' and #10 peaking 'Middle'), SAINt JHN's 'Collection One' (never charted, but home to the original version of 'Roses' which hit #1 following the popularity of Imanbek's remix) and most curiously Doja Cat's 'Hot Pink' which is actually an incorrect answer as it peaked at #38 in the albums chart, but being correct is not a requirement to be worth points so the two of you have got lucky! I won't comment in detail about all the other answers as we'll be here forever but as I expected the route of going for a greatest hits album is fruitless as although 3 people went for one, they all picked different artists so alas it's 0 points for all three. The other answers (bar MrAndrewMan's lack of an answer) are all correct but also worth nothing. (Incidentally I always thought that Jack Ü album was just ineligible to chart for some reason but it does have a peak of #131 according to Wikipedia so I guess it was just a bizarrely massive underperformance). |

I have no recollection of that Kesha album missing the top 40 oops
 I should've thought of 'Life In Mono' though!!'Platinum Pixie' was genuinely the only thing I could think of

I thought Jack U might have been answered by a few people having been in the Album cover quiz a couple of weeks ago

Surprised I got 2 points for Tones and I tbh! I wasn’t even sure it would be a correct answer with it just being an EP.

I went for the most recent no.1 single that wasn't from a top 40 album. At least someone else chose the same one.

Not challenging anyone on #2 but "highest-charting song" implied just one song, not five, which is why I didn't go for Sash
 On the other hand 'Say So' didn't even cross my mind for a TikTok song, it doesn't help that I don't use TikTok but its popularity seems well and truly beyond that app that I forgot it originated from there!

I thought about Tones & I but when I looked at her chart history and saw she didn't have a charting album I just assumed she hadn't released one

4. Name a song that is a cover or heavily samples another song and charted higher in the UK than the original version.
8 Calum Scott - Dancing On My Own // Jordan Lee, jimwatts, Lee_J11, Viper*, Riser, LewisGT, Klumzee, Dan17F1, Jade 7 Kygo and Whitney Houston - Higher Love // Bré, xajnipi, Josh!, Jáhq, Dobbo, n4yr, JosephStyles, MrAndrewMan 2 Madonna - American Pie // vibe, girlsaloudjunkie, M4NGO 1 Joel Corry - Sorry // awardinary, chrissmith276 1 Leona Lewis - Run // Scene, Bjork 1 Live Lounge Allstars - Times Like These // paulgilb, PeteFromLeeds 0 Ellie Goulding - River // West 0 Joe McElderry - The Climb // *Callum 0 Jonas Blue - Fast Car (feat. Dakota) // dan-G 0 Madonna - Hung Up // dj_tim_e 0 Natalie Imbruglia - Torn // King Rollo 0 Nathan Dawe - Flowers (feat. Jaykae) // StoneDragon 0 Regard - Ride It // RobBot The top answer here was a competitive one as well, with two answers running well ahead of everything else. Just about reaching the top is Calum Scott's soul-destroying mangling of Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own', finishing a point ahead of Kygo's slightly less soul-destroying, but still somewhat soul-destroying, mangling of Whitney Houston's cover of 'Higher Love' by Steve Winwood. Both songs peaked at #2, easily beating the original versions (Robyn got to #8 and Winwood got to #13). Four other answers are worth a point or two. There are two points for Madonna's take on 'American Pie' which hit #1 besting the #2 peak of the Don McLean original. One point for those who went for Joel Corry's soul-destroying mangling of Monsta Boy's 'Sorry (I Didn't Know)' (peaking at #6, well ahead of the original's unjust #25), Leona Lewis' actually rather good rendition of Snow Patrol's 'Run' (#1 compared to #5 for the original) and the Live Lounge Allstars charity version of Foo Fighters' 'Times Like These' (#1 just a few weeks ago while the original stalled at a shockingly low #12). Ellie Goulding's 'River', another recent #1 and a cover of the Joni Mitchell song that has never charted, isn't worth anything however. Neither is Joe McElderry's #1 (but not Christmas #1) version of Miley Cyrus' #11 hit 'The Climb', or a couple more dance remakes that peaked at #2 in recent years (Jonas Blue & Dakota's 'Fast Car' and Regard's 'Ride It', covers of the Tracy Chapman and Jay Sean tracks that peaked at #4 and #11 respectively). dj_tim_e was bravely the only person to go for a song that used only an instrumental sample - a correct answer as 'Hung Up' peaked at #1 while ABBA's 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)' only got to #3, but it's also not worth any points. Finally we have an incorrect answer as thankfully Nathan Dawe & Jaykae's soul-destroying mangling of 'Flowers' by Sweet Female Attitude hasn't yet outpeaked the #2 original, and let's pray it never does. edit: reading this back I realise that I totally forgot to comment on Natalie Imbruglia's 'Torn', which was a #2 hit that a lot of people don't know was a cover (the original version by Ednaswap did not chart). That answer was also not worth any points unfortunately. |

SO annoyed at that one! I was incredibly close to putting Calum but thought Live Lounge Allstars would get more people as a recent #1.

I nearly went for Higher Love as well but thought a song that had a lot of hate on here (Sorry) would garner more points!

I was sure many would (wrongly
 ) put Zayn's megaflop Icarus Falls for #3. Dusk Till Dawn was only on the Japanese edition but I thought some might've assumed it was on the standard edition.

(Calum Scott genuinely didn't come to my mind at all, that's probably the most surprising top answer for me - I thought for sure most people would go with one of the more recent songs (i.e. Kygo, Joel Corry, Regard etc.))

Back in the game *.* 'Dancing On My Own' recently celebrating its 10 year anniversary put it back in my mind! Plus the memorably dull cover of course :')
