Posted November 29, 20159 yr Try this out - I got 17/22 mainly because some of the questions are a little like trick questions http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/o...as-quiz__12411/
November 29, 20159 yr the one about who had the longest at the top was a bit shady, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' had 14 weeks at #1 in total and they didn't make it clear they wanted the longest consecutive run. Anyway, I got 17/22
November 29, 20159 yr Author The one about the amount of band aid single to get Xmas no1 threw me off course as I said all of them but band aid 30 only got to no1 in November.
November 29, 20159 yr 19/22, actually slaying a chart quiz for once *.* for some reason I always remember the Christmas charts the most. Did get thrown by that Band Aid one though, argh. Weird to think Santa Baby has never made the top 40, though I s'pose less weird than White Christmas never getting the number 1!
November 29, 20159 yr I s'pose less weird than White Christmas never getting the number 1! White Christmas was released before the chart was official, but unofficially it was No. 1 at Christmas in 1942, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, & 1951 for a total of 24 weeks, and hit No. 2 in 1943 and 1944. Mariah Carey could neva. :D
November 29, 20159 yr wow at that domination. though it is meant to be the best selling single in the world ever, so I'm not surprised.
November 29, 20159 yr 15/22 And I even got the band aid question wrong after reading here first :rofl: :rofl:
November 29, 20159 yr I feel good now - I got 19/22. :D The correct answer to one of the questions isn't even listed as an option. You have to get into the stupid mindset of the OCC to get it right... (Thankfully, I am able to do that. :lol: )
November 30, 20159 yr 19/22 as well! Was looking to get at least 20 and then got a few of the last ones wrong. Question 18 confused the hell out of me :P
November 30, 20159 yr Got 15/22 which I'm happy with. I also missed the Band Aid question after reading it too quickly. The lack of female solo artists with Christmas #1s really surprises me, to think after 1954 there were none at all for nearly 40 years!
November 30, 20159 yr 17/22. Just learnt a couple of new things! Beatles the most xmas number 1's? :o

Mariah Carey could neva. :D Yeh what a record!! Although i assume vinyl and sheet music was alot lower naturally back then. It charted in 1977 after Bings death that year i assume?
November 30, 20159 yr Author 17/22. Just learnt a couple of new things! Beatles the most xmas number 1's? :o Indeed 3 in a row like the spice girls and then a 4th later in the 60s!
