There have been 159 songs in the UK top 40 so far in 2018, how many of them can you name?
Edit: Final quiz: https://www.sporcle.com/games/Thermometer1/...40-hits-of-2018

158!! The only one I missed was J. Cole - Photograph so I don't feel too upset about that.
Posted by: Rush Jul 7 2018, 01:31 PM
I got 152/159. I missed:
Arctic Monkeys - One Point Perspective
Arctic Monkeys - Star Treatment
MIST - Game Changer
MoStack - What I Wanna (omg I was sure it was something like 'What I Want' or 'What I Need' and I tried every phrasing I could think of but not this 
I quite liked this song too)
The 1975 - Give Yourself A Try (ALSO THIS I kept trying things like 'Just Give Me A Try' and I certainly like this song too but clearly it needs a more memorable title)
The Weeknd - Try Me
The Weeknd - Wasted Times (I did remember 2 non-'Call Out My Name' titles, but not the right ones lol)
Forget speeding up the charts: the real advantage of ACR is saving us from having to try and name all 25 tracks from 'Scorpion' :')
Thanks for creating this, I always enjoy these.
Edit: I must say I only got J. Cole - Photograph while trying to guess the 3rd Ed Sheeran song 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Jul 7 2018, 01:41 PM
76%, it was mostly the rappers' tracks I missed.
Posted by: Eleni Foureira Jul 7 2018, 01:48 PM
140!
Got stuck with the urban ones (such as Kanye, The Weeknd, Post Malone and J. Cole album tracks).
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Jul 7 2018, 01:50 PM
153/159. The ones I missed:
Hangman (I thought it was 'How I Met My Ex' and I'd just got the wording wrong)
For You
Game Changer (I KNEW the chorus to the song, the title isn't in the chorus annoyingly 
)
Bed
Wasted Times
Dusk Till Dawn

123
Missed out most of the album tracks plus a load of 2017 songs I didn’t realise were still charting
Also missed Nicki Minaj - Bed somehow
Posted by: danG Jul 7 2018, 01:58 PM
Aside: I do wonder how many people actually got Zayn 'Let Me' by remembering it, rather than typing it in for either Hailee Steinfeld or Jorja Smith. Such a forgettable chart hit!
Posted by: Dircadirca Jul 7 2018, 02:16 PM
I got 134/159! Actually managed to get all of Drake & J. Cole's (Diplomatic Immunity took an age to think of and I only remember Photograph because it blows 
), but instead I tripped up on much more obvious ones like Symphony, Finders Keepers & Lullaby. Until I saw the answers I completely forgot what Ruti even was 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Jul 7 2018, 02:19 PM
Yep! There's no way I was going to remember that.
Posted by: coi Jul 8 2018, 11:13 AM
Don't know whether I should be proud or ashamed of myself that I managed to get all 159
Posted by: T Boy Jul 8 2018, 11:31 AM
I got 72. Chart music this year had been appalling.
Posted by: Dobbo Jul 8 2018, 11:42 AM
122, clearly I am beginning to lose touch. But really I'm not gonna remember all those redundant album tracks!
Posted by: Tedward Jul 8 2018, 12:11 PM
142/159, missed:
Bartier Cardi
Hangman
No Words
Capital Letters
Let Me Go
Bouff Daddy
KOD
Wild Love
Let Me Down
Filthy
All Mine
Love Lies
Beautiful Trauma
Dimelo
Decline
Wolves
Dusk To Dawn
Not really any ones I'm disappointed with missing, though I am surprised I didn't get that RAYE song!
Posted by: LewisGT Jul 8 2018, 01:41 PM
156.
I couldn't remember the 2 Arctic Monkeys album track titles or the Troye Sivan song.
Posted by: Riser Jul 9 2018, 04:04 AM

139/159!
I completely forgot about 'Supermarket Flowers' taking off a bit this year, that one Ed song was bugging me so much!
Posted by: RockafellerSkank Jul 9 2018, 03:21 PM
113 forgot some very obvious ones and a load of album tracks but I am pleased with myself as I ignore album tracks

Updated version including tomorrow's six new arrivals. We're now up to 209 hits.
got 208/209 with just under 4 minutes to spare, couldn't rack my brain hard enough for one of the Arctic Monkeys album tracks Star Treatment.
Posted by: coi Sep 27 2018, 08:41 PM
I just got 208 out of 209 as well and that's frustrating. Somehow forgot Hailee Steinfeld's 'Let Me Go' existed!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Sep 27 2018, 08:45 PM
Got just 171/209
Mostly the urban ones I missed.
Posted by: Rush Sep 27 2018, 09:31 PM
200/209; this time I missed:
Arctic Monkeys - One Point Perspective
Arctic Monkeys - Star Treatment
MIST - Game Changer
MoStack - What I Wanna (omg I was sure it was something like 'What I Want' or 'What I Need' and I tried every phrasing I could think of but not this
I quite liked this song too)The 1975 - Give Yourself A Try (ALSO THIS I kept trying things like 'Just Give Me A Try'
and I certainly like this song too but clearly it needs a more memorable title)The Weeknd - Try Me
The Weeknd - Wasted Times (I did remember 2 non-'Call Out My Name' titles, but not the right ones lol)
Arctic Monkeys - Star Treatment (I managed to remember the full album title with about 8 seconds to spare, to my disappointment that the title track wasn't one of the entries)
Childish Gambino - Summertime Magic (I knew it was something to do with summer... actually I did guess 'Feels Like Summer' but that's the other song)
MIST - Game Changer
MoStack - What I Wanna (EXACTLY THE SAME AS LAST TIME I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE 'WHAT I NEED/WANT' AND AGAIN COULDN'T GET IT
)Post Malone - Paranoid (remembered several album tracks but not this one)
The 1975 - Love It If We Made It (not committed to memory yet I suppose)
The Weeknd - Try Me (but I got the other one!)
Travis Scott - CAROUSEL (I rather like this album but only thought of the other 2 charters and like 2 other tracks)
Posted by: Bré Sep 27 2018, 09:45 PM
I managed to get 204/209 which I'n pretty impressed with, some of those I totally forgot existed but I somehow managed to pluck the names out of the back of my head (Arctic Monkeys album tracks and the like).
The ones I missed were 'Supermarket Flowers' (I repressed the memory of this returning to the chart clearly), 'Check' (I remembered it was a song featuring RAYE but couldn't pluck the title out), 'Paranoid' (I was so sure 'Over Now' was the third album track to chart from Posty's album for some reason??) and 'Try Me'/'Wasted Times' (album tracks from a pretty forgettable era that I've only heard never and once respectively, didn't really care for, and they were near the end of the list when I was running out of time anyway lol).
Posted by: JosephAvery Sep 28 2018, 05:20 PM
I got 208/209, the only one I missed was CAROUSEL by Travis Scott, which I'm not too gutted about. I remembered the other top 100 charting hits from that album though ffs :')
Posted by: Bjork Sep 28 2018, 06:53 PM
193 not that bad, missed all the urban ones
Posted by: danG Sep 28 2018, 09:26 PM
I'm sure there were more than 16 'urban ones'.
Posted by: danuary Jan 5 2019, 02:34 PM
The year has ended so it's about time we have the final edition of this quiz, with all 287 UK top 40 hits of the year. How many do you remember?
https://www.sporcle.com/games/Thermometer1/uk-top-40-hits-of-2018
Posted by: TS0301 Jan 5 2019, 02:57 PM
Got 246! Some of the album tracks and random rap tracks stumped me a little.
Posted by: Rush Jan 5 2019, 03:06 PM
I got 270/287. Missed:
AJ Tracey - LO(V/S)ER
Arctic Monkeys - One Point Perspective
Arctic Monkeys - Star Treatment
Cheat Codes - Only You
David Guetta - Don't Leave Me Alone
Eminem - River
Fredo - BMT
Justin Bieber - Mistletoe
Lil Wayne - Don't Cry
Martin Garrix - Ocean
Mud - Lonely This Christmas
Sia - Santa's Coming For Us
The Plug - Broken Homes
The Weeknd - Pray For Me
The Weeknd - Try Me
Travis Scott - CAROUSEL
XXXTENTACION - Arms Around You
^ Many that I know but whose existence didn't quickly come to mind from the artist name oops (or I was trying to think of album tracks instead of other singles/projects etc). Definitely would've gotten some of them with more time. Don't think any amount of time would've made me remember AJ Tracey, Arctic Monkeys x2, Fredo, Mud or The Plug though.
Posted by: Envoirment Jan 5 2019, 03:47 PM
I got 87/287. I was quite annoyed when I saw all the answers as I knew about 80% of the songs! I forgot so many hits from 2017 continued to be top 40 hits in 2018.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Jan 5 2019, 05:12 PM
Can you make the time length a bit longer?
Posted by: JosephAvery Jan 5 2019, 06:01 PM
I got 287/287 *.* with 7:23 remaining!
Posted by: danuary Jan 5 2019, 06:52 PM
I literally can't they only let you do up to 20 mins
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Jan 5 2019, 06:54 PM
Fair enough, no worries
Posted by: Riser Jan 6 2019, 01:22 AM
255/287, it took me 19 minutes just to go through the list once! The ones I should've got but slipped my mind were Nonstop, Chun-Li, Bouff Daddy, Yikes, Vroom, Venom, Best Life, and Give Yourself A Try.
Looking at the results page, the "easiest" one I missed was White Christmas (58%) and the toughest ones I got right were Arms Around You and Whoa (Mind In Awe) (17.6%). Thanks as always Dan for posting these!!!

147/209
Posted by: Bjork Jan 6 2019, 07:38 AM
got 228 but found it very difficult
Posted by: coi Jan 6 2019, 09:28 AM
287/287, it was tough to remember all of them though!
Posted by: photografdemon Jan 6 2019, 10:31 AM
217/287, not enough time for all this shhh 
and album tracks, God bless em
had no idea about some of them even existed!
Posted by: donnahjaneymack Jan 6 2019, 01:21 PM
Enjoyed completing this quiz a lot! I got 154/287. Can't believe that I totally forgot Sigala's "Just Got Paid". Also fell down on a significant amount of the rap and album tracks.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Jan 7 2019, 11:27 AM
269/287 but would have got more if it wasn't for the time limit!
