Chart Singles Prediction Game

 

Chart Sunday 1 July 2012

 

WEEK 27 IN 2012

 

The predictions are broken down into two sections:-

 

 

SECTION A

 

In this section, you should predict for each song a position between 1 and 75 based on where you think that song will chart within the Top 75. If you think the song will chart outside the top 75 (i.e. position 76 or lower) you should use the notation "75+".

 

The point scoring for these 14 songs is:-

12 points if spot on with your prediction (therefore a maximum of 168 points to play for in this section);

11 points if your prediction is out by 1 position, 10 points if your prediction is out by 2 positions, down to 1 point if your prediction is out by 11 positions and no points if your prediction is out by 12 or more positions;

If you think a song will not make the Top 75, you can predict that song to be 75+ (i.e. any position outside the top 75). If this is correct, you will get 6 points;

If a song charts in a position between 76-86 (e.g. 77), and you have predicted that song to chart at a position between 65-75 (e.g. 70), you will still score the "normal" points - in the example given, you would score 3 points;

If a new single is pulled from release or non-chart eligible then everyone's prediction for that question will be void and everyone will be awarded 6 points.

 

 

 

SECTION B

 

In this section, you will predict the answer to THREE bonus questions

 

The first bonus question is worth eight points and the other two are worth 12 points (therefore giving a maximum of 32 points from this section).

 

Therefore there will be a maximum of 200 Points [168 points in Section A, and 32 points in Section B] to gain.

 

 

============================================================

 

 

THE PREDICTIONS:-

 

Sales Period: Sunday 1 July – Saturday 7 July

 

SECTION A

 

Dot Rotten - Overload

Stooshe - Black Heart

Skrillex - Bangarang

Trey Songz - Heart Attack

Nicki Minaj - Pound The Alarm

Justin Bieber - Boyfriend

Jessie J - Laserlight

Muse - Survival

Alex Clare - Too Close

David Guetta & Sia - Titanium

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

Jay-Z & Kanye West - No Church In The Wild

Emeli Sande - My Kind Of Love

Loreen - Euphoria

 

 

 

SECTION B

 

Bonus 1) - 8 points Will the number of songs with a single word title (on the OCC website) in the top 40 be a) odd or b) even?

 

Bonus 2) - Will the top three contain a) the same songs as Wednesday’s update in the same order, b) the same songs as Wednesday’s update but in a different order or c) at least one song not in Wednesday’s update?

 

Bonus 3) - 12 points How many new entries will there be in the top 40?

Spot on - 12 points

1 away - 8 points

2 away - 4 points

 

============================================================

 

 

You have until around 10:30am UK Time on Tuesday 3 July to get your entries in. Entries altered after the midweeks have arrived will be excluded.

 

See notes below for further information on the deadline.

 

Each Game counts towards the Overall Leader board (The Best 48 Games). I will maintain the last 6 weeks Leader board for newer players

 

If you have not played before, then why not join in the fun?

 

Important Notes

 

When the question refers to a new entry in the top 40 that always means a song appearing in the top 40 for the first time. Therefore, if a song moves up from 41 to 40, that is a new entry unless the song has appeared in the top 40 before. If a song that charted in 1953 enters the top 40, that is not a new entry.

 

 

The closing date is based on the availability of midweek information late on Tuesday morning. Music Week have announced that they will no longer be publishing midweek charts on Tuesday. We have discussed the possibility of moving the deadline but have decided to make no change. Only limited midweek information has generally been made available on a Tuesday. However, the consensus is that too much other information is available to justify moving the deadline. In the unlikely event of a sudden surge in physical sales, this may be reviewed again.
