Posted December 20, 20168 yr 232 songs have sat in the UK top 40 since this time last year. But how many of them can you name? https://www.sporcle.com/games/Thermometer1/...40-hits-of-2016
December 20, 20168 yr Author you must have fast hands then! I tried it myself to check for inaccuracies and had 7 minutes to spare
December 20, 20168 yr Got 229 correct just didn't have time to name two of the Bowie songs and an Ellie Goulding track
December 20, 20168 yr 202/232 which I'm quite pleased with - the rest, my mind either went blank or I had no clue: 5 Seconds of Summer - Girls Talk Boys Beyonce - Daddy Lessons Beyonce - Hold Up Craig David - One More Time David Bowie - Let's Dance David Bowie - Space Oddity DJ Khaled - For Free Drake - Controlla Drake - Pop Style Drake - Summer Sixteen Ellie Goulding - On My Mind Fetty Wap - 679 J. Cole - deja vu Justin Bieber - I'll Show You Kevin Simms - All You Good Friends Olly Murs - Kiss Me Prince & The Revolution - Kiss Sigma - Cry Skepta - Man The Choir for the Invictus Games - Flesh & Blood The Neales - I'll Be There The Stone Roses - Beautiful Thing The Weeknd - Reminder The Weeknd - Sidewalks Tom Odell - Magnetised Viola Beach - Swings & Roundabouts will.i.am - Boys & Girls X Ambassadors - Renegades Zay Hilfigerrr - Juju On That Beat (TZ Anthem) ZAYN - I Don't Wanna Live Forever How the HELL did you manage to get them all right with almost half the time to spare, Joseph?!?! :o
December 20, 20168 yr Author How does this compare with other years>? in previous years I've been unable to include all the Top 40 hits in one quiz, as it only lets you take up to 300. This year that's not a problem because of the slow turnover :lol:
December 20, 20168 yr I would enter, but with all the info I've collated, it'd be like cheating. :lol:
December 20, 20168 yr 231/232! So gutted - reached 230 with just under ten minutes to spare, I was so convinced I'd beat Joseph at that point :lol: Took me about five minutes to remember one of the Prince songs (When Doves Cry), but I couldn't for the life of me remember Reminder by The Weeknd, despite it being one of my favourites off Starboy :,). Oh well.
December 20, 20168 yr How the HELL did you manage to get them all right with almost half the time to spare, Joseph?!?! :o Partly me being a fast typer, partly me having a pretty good memory for this kinda thing! :kink:
December 20, 20168 yr 59/232 before giving up. :lol: I couldn't remember the titles for half the songs despite being able to sing them in my head. There was quite a lot I didn't know too - haven't been paying as close attention to the top 40 this year as in previous years!
December 20, 20168 yr Juju On That Beat also got me for a while, I totally forgot the part in brackets at the end :D Oh and I was so shocked to see that Man (Gang) by Skepta had reached the top 40 :o (btw you put the title as 'Man' when it's actually 'Man (Gang)', you might want to change that considering all other tracks had bracketized words taken into account)
December 20, 20168 yr Author The song is actually just titled 'Man'. The 'Gang' was removed from the title.
December 20, 20168 yr 221/232, better than I expected as I haven't closely followed the UK charts this year. Missed: Craig David - Ain't Giving Up David Bowie - Life On Mars? Dizzee Rascal - Hype - completely forgot about this, my thought was 'wait Dizzee released something this year?' :lol: Kevin Simm - All You Good Friends The Choir For The Invictus Games - Flesh And Blood The Neales - I'll Be There The Stone Roses - All For One The Vamps - I Found A Girl The Weeknd - Reminder Tom Odell - Magnetised Viola Beach - Swings & Waterslides
December 20, 20168 yr Did this earlier and got 182 - not bad considering I barely glance on the chart nowadays (I keep up with the iTunes thread, that's about it :lol:).
December 21, 20168 yr A really pathetic and slightly humiliating 107/232...probably could have done the lot four or five years ago but I'm too old and past it now. Looking at the results there's a few how-the-hell-did-I-not-remember obvious ones (Black Beatles? This Is What You Came For?? HOTLINE BLING???) but even after those I probably wouldn't have passed 120 or so in a million years. Edited December 21, 20168 yr by BillyH
