Welcome to FAMILY FORTUNES!

You probably know the rules already, but in case you've forgotten - the aim of the game is to give the answer that you think will be the MOST popular choice. This translates to the amount of points you get, so if 4 people went with the same answer as you, you'd get 4 points.

The deadline is next Saturday, the 11th of April, at 23.59. If I'm feeling generous then I may accept answers a few hours after that wink.gif Please PM me your answers.

The theme of this quiz is, surprisingly, the UK CHARTS. (emphasis on UK, don't come at me with answers relating to the ARIA charts or something pls)

1. Name an artist that has featured on any of Olly Murs' top 40 singles.

2. Name a #1 single from the past 5 years that spent only one week on top of the charts.

3. Name a boyband from the 2010's with at least one top 40 single, but no #1 hits.

4. Name a track by Ed Sheeran that hit number one.

5. Name a female soloist with multiple top 10's, but no number one hits.

6. Name any dance track that hit the top 10 in 2019. ("dance" is meant loosely, you know what I mean tongue.gif)

7. Name a Drake track that has hit the top 5 in the past 5 years.

8. Name an artist/group from the past decade with a #1 album, but no top 10 hits.

9. Name a track from the past decade that has been snubbed by radio due to too much swearing.

10. Name an Ed Sheeran single that failed to hit #1.


If you've got any queries on the wording of the questions please feel free to post below ^^

Happy quizzing biggrin.gif

There's no official list of answers for #9, just talking about decent sized hits which got skipped on the chart show / not playlisted by Radio 1 due to having vulgar content / lots of swearing!

does the past decade mean the 2010s, or the last 10 years from this day?

Entered but #9 was kind of a guess, pretty sure an edit might have been played but it removed like half the song?

jsyk BJSC results are from 7pm - if you have to choose between clashing with that and First Look (6-7) I'd probably go for a First Look clash - BJSC results generally get a lot more traffic.

Okay, I’ll maybe aim to start just before 6 - most people will be in the chart forum anyway so hopefully it’ll be fine. smile.gif
