Looking forward to this!
Fun! Expecting a relatively high-scoring round here so hope I've done enough to finish near the top.
Put me out of my misery now about what #16 is!
Question 1
Here we have water droplets, a peach, and a cat. I won't explain this one in too much detail for... reasons, but the answer is:
WAP - Cardi B ft. Megan Thee Stallion
Full points:
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
No points:
Watermelon Sugar - Harry Styles (Riser)
off to a good start!
Question 2
Here we have some kings, and some queens. Not that it needs an explanation as everyone got it right! The answer is:
Kings & Queens - Ava Max
Full points:
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
Question 3
For this question, the prohibited sign and the brain go together to make the first word, followed by a love heart. The answer is:
Stupid Love - Lady Gaga
Full points:
Chrissmith276, PeteFromLeeds, jimwatts, Dexton, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, SevenSeize, M4NGO
No points:
Don't Need Love - 220 KID ft. Gracey (Bjork, StoneDragon, TS0301)
What You Know Bout Love - Pop Smoke (n4yr, Riser)
Head & Heart - Joel Corry ft. MNEK (Dobbo, danvember, jlj)
Blank: paulgilb, AaronTM, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan
I thought most of these were not too difficult, surprised to see one already with so few correct answers!
Q3 is the first one I wasn't 100% sure about, I spent ages wondering what it could be as Don't Need Love didn't quite fit... then the penny dropped
Question 4
Another one which everyone got! There's a picture of a city, followed by two angels. The answer is:
City Of Angels - 24kGoldn
Full points: (100%)
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
I did initially think Watermelon Sugar for the first one, the last image sort-of made me change my mind. Stupid Love was the last one of the songs I got as well so not surprised to see that on so few points.
Question 5
We have a thumbs down emoji, indicating 'no', an hourglass which measures time, and a skull to represent death. The answer is:
No Time To Die - Billie Eilish
Full points:
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
No points:
Blank: RabbitFurCoat
‘Stupid Love’ took way too long to click - was trying to think if any songs had ‘brain’ in them for ages
Question 6
Here there's an arrow pointing west, and a clock at ten o'clock. The answer is:
West Ten - AJ Tracey & Mabel
Full points:
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, SevenSeize
No points:
Sign Of The Times - Harry Styles (Riser)
Tick Tock - Clean Bandit ft. Mabel & 24KGoldn (Dexton, jlj)
Blank: n4yr, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember
Another one that took a little while as I went down the "left" route for far too long!
Question 7
This one probably doesn't need an explanation, especially as everyone got it right! The answer is:
The Box - Roddy Ricch
Full points: (100%)
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
Question 8
Moving quickly now through a few 100%-ers. Again we have a skull for death, and a bed. The answer is:
death bed - Powfu ft. beabadoobee
Full points: (100%)
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
Question 9
There's a person dancing, next to the moon. The answer is:
Dancing in the Moonlight - Jubël ft. NEIMY
Full points:
Chrissmith276, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
No points:
Dance Monkey - Tones and I (paulgilb, Dobbo, Bré)
Levitating - Dua Lipa (danvember)
Blank: n4yr, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan
#9 took ages to work out, I had convinced myself it was also Dance Monkey for ages!
Question 10
We've got a ewe, a broken heart, a person with their hand up, and a first-place medal. The answer is:
You Broke Me First - Tate McRae
Full points:
Chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, SevenSeize
No points:
You'll Never Walk Alone - Michael Ball & Captain Tom Moore (jlj)
Blank: Dobbo
'Dance Monkey' and 'Take You Dancing' also crossed my mind as I completely forgot about that trash cover but the moon had to be relevant, so got there eventually.
Well, I was right about #9 being something terrible, just got the wrong terrible song (I'll have it be known my answer was actually written as 'Dance Moon-key', I knew that was wrong obviously but I thought I might get a half point for creativity, lolz)
'CITY OF ANGELS' was one of the harder ones for me, I'm surprised that was one that got 100% - seems like a smaller / more forgettable hit than most of the others included on the list! 'West Ten' also took me a little longer than most of the others.
I'm actually doing OK at this one - after being nothing more than poor at all the other quizzes
Question 11
And we're back with another controversial one! There's a head, and a heart. The answer is:
Head & Heart - Joel Corry ft. MNEK
Full points:
Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
Other accepted answers (full points):
Boyfriend - Mabel (chrissmith276): I decided this one did make sense as an alternate answer - it accounted for all the emojis and it was a top 40 hit this year.
No points:
Mad Love - Mabel (paulgilb)
Savage Love - Jason Derulo (Dobbo)
Blank: n4yr, RabbitFurCoat
Question 12
For the final question of part one, we have two Scottish flags. The answer is:
The Scotts - The Scotts (Travis Scott And Kid Cudi)
Full points:
chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, jimwatts, TS0301, RabbitFurCoat, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, SevenSeize
No points:
Kiss Kiss - Holly Vallance (StoneDragon)
Trinidad And Tobago Tartan Army - Scotland Scotland Jason Scotland (Riser)
This City - Sam Fischer (jlj)
Blank: n4yr, Dobbo, Dexton, MrAndrewMan, danvember
So that's it for tonight! I haven't prepared a leaderboard for the first half so scores will remain a mystery until the full results tomorrow. See you again then for part 2!
I don't think I'd have got #11 if it weren't for the first emoji also being used in one of the later questions where the context made it clearer that it meant 'head' rather than 'man'/'person' etc.
'THE SCOTTS' was the final one I got just before I submitted my answers! Again more people getting that than I thought but at least not quite to the extent of 'CITY OF ANGELS' - was 'Stupid Love' actually the least correctly guessed one from this first half?
100% on the first half looking forward to the second part tomorrow. Thank you for your effort so far <3
Haha how could I not get Head & Heart but glad you accepted that Boyfriend fitted!
Stupid Love was the last one I got in that section so glad to see it was the hardest one based on the numbers!
Omg I’m a full Gaga stan and this is the now the second time I’ve not gotten one where she’s the answer
West Ten seems obvious now I’ve looked at it.
The Scotts totally slipped my mind probably because it’s not a genre of music I listen to all the time.
but #3 cannot be Don't Need Love too? It actually makes more sense to me than Stupid Love
the Brain emoji actually means "need", so that's clearly Don't + Need + Love to me
How does a brain emoji mean 'need' lol ~ that's even more tenuous than a moon emoji meaning 'monkey'.
A quick Google search - no mention of the word 'need'
I’ve got #16 worked out now but I didn’t put the right thing for it!
So now I’m confused at what the duck emoji related to
Can't believe I didn't think of WAP for #1
Results will continue in just a few minutes!
Question 13
Time for the first artist question! Here we have a party popper, and a cigarette (smoking). The answer is:
Pop Smoke
And there's a number of correct song options which I'll show below.
Full points:
What You Know About Love: Bjork, n4yr, jimwatts, Dexton, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
Mood Swings: chrissmith276, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, RabbitFurCoat
The Woo: paulgilb, M4NGO, TS0301, Riser
Dior: Dobbo, StoneDragon
^ If only this was Pointless
Question 14
There's a bee, some tea, and a snake (which makes a 'sss' sound). The answer is:
BTS
Full points:
Dynamite: chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
ON: Riser
No points:
Blank: Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember
^ If only this was Family Fortunes
Yay a good start for this second half! That 'Dynamite' landslide
I wasn't entirely certain about the 'S' being represented by a snake but there wasn't really any other viable artist that could have been!
Question 15
There's a storm cloud, and the sea. The answer is:
Stormzy
Full points:
Ain't It Different: chrissmith276, AaronTM, Dobbo, RabbitFurCoat, awardinary
Still Disappointed: PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, jimwatts, StoneDragon, Riser
Own It: paulgilb, Bjork, n4yr, TS0301, Bré, CianS
I Dunno: Jade
Other accepted answers (full points):
Halsey - You should be sad (jlj): I was a bit unsure of this one but you explained you got 'hail' from the cloud and 'sea' from the wave, it used basically the same logic as my answer so I accepted it.
1 point:
No song given: SevenSeize
No points:
Blank: Dexton, MrAndrewMan, danvember
I was hoping they would have to be songs which actually debuted in the Top 40 this year, so Own It wouldn't count, but anyways...
That one was my least confident answer (I also considered Halsey for the exact same reason as Jordan) - so pleased it was right!
My song selection for each one was just the first to come into my head - God knows why that was 'I Dunno' in this case
Question 16
There's a rose, an owl, and an ear. As someone pointed out before, it works best if you try saying it out loud. The answer is:
Rosalía
Full points:
TKN: chrissmith276, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, jimwatts, TS0301, Riser, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, Bré, CianS, Jade
1 point:
No song given: paulgilb, SevenSeize
No points:
Drake - Laugh Now Cry Later (jlj)
Blank: Dobbo, StoneDragon, Dexton, danvember, awardinary
...but wait, what's this?
🚨 ODD ONE OUT ALERT 🚨
As I'm sure a lot of you are aware (given that it's one of the biggest injustices of the year!), Rosalía has never appeared in the top 40! TKN peaked just outside, at #41. That means it's time to give out some bonus points to everyone who worked this out:
Bonus points: chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, jimwatts, StoneDragon, Riser, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade
Yeah, saying 'rose-owl-ear' out loud was the lightbulb moment for me as well!
I worked out Rosalia but didn’t think it was an actual artist’s name! I also spent a long time thinking it was a tulip!!
Yeah I saw the 'rose-owl-ear' post before I'd entered and already knew what that would be if only 'TKN' had charted one place higher </3 TUNE
I am eternally triggered at 'TKN' completely stalling out and peaking at #41. I'd rather she just remained never charting at all frankly xx Here's hoping she can still eventually get a top 40 hit somehow ~
I read Wardy's post before even looking at the emojis so that was actually the first answer I got
Pleased to see I'm not the only one wanting justice for TKN
Question 17
There's a young baby, a cup of tea, a bug, and the sea. The answer is:
Young T & Bugsey
Full points:
Don't Rush: chrissmith276, Bjork, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, MrAndrewMan, Bré, CianS, SevenSeize
Princess Cuts: AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, awardinary, Jade
1 point:
Strike a Pose (paulgilb): this was in the top 40 in 2019, but not 2020
No points:
DaBaby - ROCKSTAR (jlj)
Blank: Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, danvember
In a just world ROSALÍA would have like 6 #1 hits by now lbr xx
You using the wave emoji to mean 'sea' in 2 different clues was probably the only reason I got either of them, similar to the head emoji in 'Head & Heart'
I thought that was one of the hardest! Thankfully those emojis eventually clicking helped me get the 'sea' part for Stormzy
Question 18
This emoji is a male duck, also known as a...
Drake
Full points:
Toosie Slide: chrissmith276, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, Riser, danvember, Jade
Laugh Now Cry Later: paulgilb, M4NGO, Bré, awardinary
1 point:
Lil Durk - Laugh Now Cry Later (CianS): even though you didn't get the artist, you did get a Drake song!
No points:
Birdy - Wings (TS0301)
Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand (jlj)
Blank: n4yr, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, SevenSeize
I have chart forum memes from the past to thank for that one entirely
Drake's 8 other Top 40 singles this year must be so upset not getting a mention
Question 19
There's a person partying, a skip/next symbol, and a door. The answer is:
PARTYNEXTDOOR
Full points:
Believe It: chrissmith276, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
1 point:
PARTYNEXTDOOR - Loyal (Bré): was top 40 in 2019 but not 2020
No song given: paulgilb
No points:
Blank: Dexton
!
Ngl I completely forgot PARTYNEXTDOOR had another hit this year and just put 'LOYAL' because I thought that was his most recent chart appearance. Though it's every bit as much a forgettable song as 'BELIEVE IT' so idk why I remembered that first (maybe I was just conditioned by Drake being the previous answer).
Question 20
There's a head, the letter E, and the number 1. The answer is:
Headie One
Full points:
Ain't It Different: chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, jimwatts, TS0301, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, SevenSeize
Only You Freestyle: Dobbo, StoneDragon
Princess Cuts: Riser
No points:
Post Malone - Forever (jlj)
Blank: AaronTM, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan
If those first 2 emojis were the other way round that could have been a very tough clue for Post Malone (post/male/one) tbf!!
Question 21
We've got a bear, a key, and a picture of a hill. This is another one you might need to say out loud - the answer is:
Becky Hill
Full points:
Heaven On My Mind: chrissmith276, M4NGO, jimwatts, CianS, awardinary, Jade
Better Off Without You: Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, StoneDragon, TS0301
1 point:
Becky Hill - I Could Get Used To This (paulgilb): not a top 40 hit
No points:
Nicki Minaj - Trollz (n4yr)
Arctic Monkeys (Riser)
Blank: Dobbo, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, jlj, SevenSeize
#21 was the last one I got - I didn't focus on what was in the picture so was trying to think of names ending 'frame', 'art', etc. - until I clicked on 'bear+key'
And there's the one I had no idea about at all. As expected it now seems fairly obvious - I was stuck on repeating 'bear key painting' in my head over and over but I should have got 'Becky' out of the first two even though I had the last word wrong
I was hoping the painting emoji would confuse people a bit on that question!
Question 22
There's a fishing rod, a letter E, and a rich man. The answer is:
Roddy Ricch
Full points:
The Box: chrissmith276, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, n4yr, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Bré, awardinary, SevenSeize
ROCKSTAR: M4NGO, Jade
No points:
Internet Money - Lemonade (Dobbo, Riser, CianS)
Sam Fischer - This City (jlj)
Blank: paulgilb, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember
Question 23
There's a fire, the letter A, and a boy. The answer is:
Burna Boy
Full points:
Play Play: AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, RabbitFurCoat, CianS, awardinary, Jade
Own It: chrissmith276, Bjork, Bré
1 point:
No song given: paulgilb, SevenSeize
No points:
Blank: Dobbo, Dexton, MrAndrewMan, danvember, jlj
Question 24
This is the final question, and we're ending on a positive note with one that everyone guessed correctly! There's a bee, a devil (bad), two Os, and another bee. The answer is:
Beabadoobee
Full points:
Death Bed: chrissmith276, paulgilb, Bjork, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, M4NGO, n4yr, Dobbo, jimwatts, StoneDragon, TS0301, Riser, Dexton, RabbitFurCoat, MrAndrewMan, danvember, Bré, CianS, awardinary, Jade, jlj, SevenSeize
When I first looked at the artist ones I barely got any but as soon as I got a couple they all clicked into place fairly quickly - saying them aloud especially Bear-key!

Congrats to all our winners and thanks to everyone for taking part! Hope you all enjoyed it
EDIT: I've changed M4NGO's score which moves him into joint first place.
Just caught up and I’m not the least bit surprised why I didn’t get Rosalia, I didn’t even know she was a thing.
Yay I won something Thanks Ansel for running this and also congrats to chris, Jade and jim!
Scoreboard update coming tomorrow, meanwhile take part in StoneDragon's Answer Smash going on now.
First time I've ever got full marks in one of these quizzes, yay *.* congrats to chris, jim and Pete also!
Thanks for this Ansel - loved it!
Great quiz Ansel - I scored pretty well but due to the stiff competition still only finished 11th!

Thanks for hosting Ansel, was fun xx
Thanks for the quiz Ansel, I really enjoyed it! Some of them took me a lot longer than others, but I didn't quite resort to checking through lists of Top 40 hits (although I may have ended up going down the wrong route on some answers if older hits had been allowed).
Well done Chris, Jade and Pete!
Thanks for hosting that Ansel, really enjoyed it! I'm so pissed off at myself for stupidly adding Ariana Grande to question 3, and it's cost me a drop of 4 places - I do feel it's a little harsh not to award me full marks for that seen as I did get Lady Gaga AND the correct song title but completely understand if you don't as it's my own fault really!
Thanks for hosting, Ansel!
Well done to the winners and thanks for hosting.
This was annoying for me because I realised what some were after I’d sent my answers but it was still great fun!
Five winners People did amazing on this! I was really happy with how many I worked out and still ended up in 14th
Thanks for hosting, Ansel, nice job!
