236/296

 

20 minutes is not enough for me. :P

199. I feel really dumb compared to some of you (though a lot of time was consumed typing/remembering what was in the brackets to some titles)

160 :lol:

Nice quiz, I got 188/296, but I did run out of time. Perhaps a 5min extention? :lol:

 

It also put me under pressure to think what I had left so I probably would have got 220 or so had a had a bit more time :(

I can't make it any longer than 20 minutes so don't blame me for running out of time~

No problem :)

278 because i ran out of time

127! To be honest, I didn't even recognise half of the artists! Such is my relationship with the UK charts these days I suppose. :lol:

255/296. I was typing pretty consistently for the duration of the quiz, the remaining 41 I simply couldn't remember. The most recent ones I forgot were "Say You Love Me", "Resonance" and "God Only Knows". The biggest hits I forgot were "Dibby Dibby Sound", "Braveheart", and "Love Never Felt So Good", so not bad! Well, I thought I did well but then I saw everyone else's scores and :drama:

 

Thanks Dan!

I did way better on my 2nd go

283/296

It's interesting that despite 2014 including streaming in the chart (and making a good handful of tracks miss out), there are slightly more tracks in this list than last year's quiz, unless this one got a slightly larger time frame or something?

I'm going to try it again too possibly later today. Maybe you should've made this quiz after 2014 to save making it twice :unsure:

 

Of course I could make it in your favour if you so wish :)

Hmmm that's a interesting point actually :thinking:

the thing is it's not possible to have more than 300 answers in one quiz, which explains both why I didn't wait until the end of the year to make the quiz and why last year's quiz has less songs in the quiz despite having more chart entries in the year (as I don't want some songs that entered in a certain chart week to make the quiz and some to not)

Here's a rundown of the most and least remembered top 40 hits (don't look if you haven't done the quiz yet)

didn't expect Amnesia to be so high but 5SOS do have the advantage of being at the top of the page (still doesn't explain why it's higher than their #1 SLSP). Ed Sheeran 'Don't' is currently the most recognised hit, with 'Problem' at #2 and 'Amnesia' at #3 alongside 'Break Free' and 'Happy'.

 

Unsurprisingly the 2 lowest songs so far are one week wonder charity single 'Hope Ain't A Bad Thing' and campaign single 'Roll of Honour', the latter which only got 5 seconds of airplay on the chart show due to its subject matter.

 

There were a total of 373 top 40 hits in 2013, so 2014 is not going to match that (it'd require there to be an average of 11 new entries every week for the rest of the year).

 

Even including sales-only top 40 hits 2014 is still only on 324 top 40 hits so 7 new entries per week to match 2013 which is still rather steep.

 

Ed Sheeran 'Don't' is currently the most recognised hit

 

 

This is probably also down to 5SOS being at the top of the page, as 'Don't Stop' gives you 'Don't' automatically

:P

Ah that's a shame :(

 

Perhaps exclude the #1s? :thinking:

 

And have another quiz just for the #1s :D

166/296

 

Not that good at all.

 

 

Full marks on second attempt today :)

I think Ed Sheeran could be leading that with 'Don't' because I got it accidentally when I was going down the list and started to type out another song which started with it, so even if people don't know the title they'd get it by accident. :P
