December 4, 201113 yr I can't say that weak start improving much, I'm just glad I have a deduction :lol:
December 4, 201113 yr I am gobsmacked...just totally flabbergasted. :o I have absolutely no doubt that it will be a one off fluke and my predictions will be abysmal in the remaining weeks!
December 4, 201113 yr Great start! Not sure of the idea of posting leaderboards but I guess that will be too much suspense if it's posted only at the end which is not good. :P Edited December 4, 201113 yr by FM11
December 4, 201113 yr omg so many points! I was so far off for Kate Bush - 25 places - that one is gonna kill me for the rest of the game... Did you predict 1 or 51?
December 4, 201113 yr What an embarrassing start :lol: Again, damn you Kate Bush and Nickelback! Should definitely have predicted after the mids, not to worry, I won two of the comps last time!
December 4, 201113 yr Did you predict 1 or 51? omg I obviously can't count :whistle: *hides in shame* . 17 places. I predicted #9. Edited December 4, 201113 yr by Atonement

(The list itself, not my position in it.) Thanks. It has confirmed my role in life as 'distinctly average'. The presence of so much blue at the bottom of the list seems to show that those of us who entered early may live to regret our impatience! We shall see. At least your average figures seemed to vaguely reflect my own guesses. None of them seem wildly out from the pack. Good turnout too. Just out of interest, how many of the 35 are female? It looks very male dominated, from the names that are obvious! Chig
December 5, 201113 yr Good turnout too. Just out of interest, how many of the 35 are female? It looks very male dominated, from the names that are obvious! Buzzjack IS male/(gay) dominated. Edited December 5, 201113 yr by Atonement
December 5, 201113 yr Last! :drama: In fairness I severely over estimated GaGa's promo and thought some would sell stronger over the Christmas period (hopefully they pick up. ;))

Chig In fairness the first week is where late predictors are going to have the biggest advantage, if I'm honest I'm surprised only one person got less than 10. I'd have thought that most people should be getting half of them spot on with the others only 1 or 2 positions out. Although I haven't looked at the final midweek positions in comparison to the final position, though I'm guessing Noel and Westlife both moved a couple of places. Tomorrow I might put the midweek positions in and see if it changes much.

It's not entirely accurate as I've had to use a default '41' for Nickelback's position as it's outside the top 40. The lowest 2nd week score is 30, and the highest is 102. The overall top 10 includes four people who predicted before the midweeks.... It does seem one bad album will take you out of the running. The person in 13th has 42% of their score from one album (and it's not one of the ones most have done worse with). If they'd predicted it correctly they'd be leading comfortably (by 10+ points).

Is that lowest score of 30 just comparing the mids from yesterday against everyone's 2nd week chart runs, or does it also include the score from the leaderboard for Week 1 as well?
December 7, 201113 yr Off to a disappointing start - hopefully I can climb my way back up the leader board this week.
December 7, 201113 yr I have a feeling Kate Bush has messed things up for me....if only I had actually had the intelligence to realise that the album was a Christmas one. (You would think the title might have been a giveaway!) Think I am about 30 out with that one alone, while the rest of my predictions don't seem too bad. :D Edited December 7, 201113 yr by campbell6977
December 7, 201113 yr Author Is that lowest score of 30 just comparing the mids from yesterday against everyone's 2nd week chart runs, or does it also include the score from the leaderboard for Week 1 as well? It was just week 2, the lowest overall score was somewhere between 40 & 50, although I can't remember what now...
December 11, 201113 yr Ooh, I was highest ranked of those to send their predictions in early last week so hopefully can be one of the four vaulting into the top 10 this week. That's the idea, anyway :P
