Finally a pointless *.*

 

Jade stop answering the same as me xxxxx

 

Mess I nearly double-bluffed and go for Strangers instead of Don't Kill My Vibe ugh :lol:

You guys are going to hate me for the next one. Prepare for a huge bunch of incorrect answers.

 

I won't hate maybe strongly dislike for about 5 minutes :P

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE

 

 

8. Name a single which slid down by exactly one place for 4 consecutive weeks within the top-40 in the single charts.

 

We, chart funs, love nice and good looking chart-runs! :D I chose one of those nice patterns, asking you to find a chart-run with a slide of just one place in the singles chart for 4 consecutive weeks. It cause a lot of struggle for you though, and many of you misunderstood the question.

So we came up with 7 different correct answers, the most popular of which being 'The Real Slim Shady', which is indeed the most memorable, as achieving such a chart-run in the fast paced physical market with a huge number of held-back releases was quite an achievement. The pointless answers are the old entry by Tommy Edwards, 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga. And the special shout out goes to Bre who was the only one who came up with the correct answer (Good Feeling) WITHOUT a #1 being part of the sequence. If I had the right I'd give you the negative point for this chart-run gem.

 

Now cue the wrong answers. When I'm asking you to find a chart-run with the slide of one place for 4 consecutive weeks, the song to be qualified must do it 4 times in a row. In your chart-runs most of you found the sequence of 4 numbers, but you forgot that it took three jumps to make this chart-run, with the first number being a new entry, re entry, non mover, climber or a bigger faller. If my question had been "name a single.... who slid by exactly one place within the four weeks", I would have counted your answers. But alas, unfortunately not!

 

And sorry Suedehead2, you are definitely not alone!

That question legit gave me hell, I don't think I've ever spent so long on polyhex/a question on a game on this forum in my life :lol: And then I remembered Dan did that top 100 chart-run thing every week so flicked through there and found Shape Of You after a million hours so thanks Dan x

Surprised shape of you wasn't more popular

Outrageous !!!

oh didn't understand it, tbh i think you could have worded it in a clearer way

Yeah okay I definitely misread that question as just four weeks oops. What a terrible week :')

 

I was trying to think of a cool chart-run that was pointed out at a Now session recently but I couldn't remember what it was. That was 'Good Feeling' x

There was me thinking no one else would think of 'Real Slim Shady. Still I had 3 pointless answers in a row :)

oh didn't understand it, tbh i think you could have worded it in a clearer way

 

How though or is this a tantrum for getting it wrong

 

Never mind I just got what you mean I was lucky I thought SOY was 5 consecutive weeks

9. Name a Sugababes single (of any incarnation of its members) which went top-100 but didn’t make the top-10.

 

One of the biggest British girlbands and CERTAINLY one of the most dramatic ones, Sugababes have had quite a lengthy career despite all of the line-up changes, label changes and whatever else happened to them all these years. They had some huge hits as well as minor ones, between the latter I asked you to pick one.

No incorrect or pointless answers here. Most of you went with hidden gem 'Run for Cover' (brill choice tbh but its #13 peak was unfortunate to the 7 of you), yet NO ONE remembered 'Soul Sound'. If anyone entered 'Flatline' I would count it, as I made a point of any incarnation, but no one dared to try it! (Or just forgot about its existence as well. :(

 

Quite a lot of points to the other non-top-20 hits (that peak was considered a flop back in the day) there, No Can Do and Follow Me Home. And the four of us who picked one of the two singles from the 'Change' era were the luckiest!

And sorry Suedehead2, you are definitely not alone!

:angry:

I thankfully remembered that stat from everyhit.com (RIP), although I actually intended it as 1-2-3-4 as well, hooray for another drop I didn't know about saving me! Just happy to get a right answer there.

 

This is not going too bad woop, gah at Jordan going for Van Halen too though, was sure I was on to something there.

Two high scores in a row :( Love RFC though! :)

The good people at everyhit.com haven't updated the site for years but it is still there. It has a list of "Gradual falls from number one" :D

The next question may be pretty much nominated for the worst 'Pointless' questions ever, with there'll be an enormous number of pointless answers! What a playlist we have made tho. :jameela:

Yet another 'could've been worse' situation with 'Shape'.

 

The next question to finally provide me with a Pointless please 🙏🏻

See I thought everyone had put Nobody To Love for that previous question, thought that would be more well known than Slim's on here.

 

The next question to finally provide me with a Pointless please 🙏🏻

 

Is it Circles by any chance? :P

 

10. Name a drum&bass song which went top-20 in the singles chart.

 

Drum&Bass became a mainstream dance genre only lately but has its roots back in the early 90s. And whoever of you remembered the obscure drum&bass hits from 90s were pretty much the winners! I really liked the way your answers came by so I didn't sort them alphabetically or anyhow! Whoever likes drum&bass may as well take this package and make a playlist of it.

'Propane Nightmares' is the only unlucky one to be answered not only by 2, but by 4 people! The only other matches were 'Tidal Wave', 'Waiting All Night', the other Pendulum hit 'Watercolour' and 'Nobody to Love'.
