May 28, 20187 yr Congrats Bray and Dan *.* I noticed that Bray was doing really well but didn't quite clock how much my quiz rival was slaying. I think Bray will have overtaken me now but I should be in 3rd as Sam didn't enter this week. Once again I am good at predicting what people will go for but not what they would avoid :lol: thanks for this anyway vibe, some interesting questions ~
May 28, 20187 yr Oh slay *.* I guess being one of the few people to not get 15+ points on Q9 paid off :lol: I wouldn't have even thought of 'Needed Me', 'The Cave' was a very immediate thought for me as a long-running hit that missed the top 30! (Actually surprised it 'only' had 26 weeks in the top 75, I'm sure it had a ton of weeks in 76-100 as well). I needn't have bothered looking so hard but for the question about a song that spent 3 weeks in the same position my strategy was to find an obscure example from back when the charts used to be frozen for a week over Christmas :magic:
May 28, 20187 yr It's rough to see that if I hadn't messed up Q9 I would have had only 25 points (and if damn Demi had spent one more week in the Top 75 it would have been a 4-way tie for the win with me and Dalek getting 30 pts as well lmao)
May 28, 20187 yr Thanks Vibe for doing this. I'm happy with 5th place. Some of those questions took a while to find an answer to. Well done Bray on winning.

May 28, 20187 yr Ouch 1 wrong answer and was difference between 6 and 21 :lol: demi you could have had 1 more week
May 28, 20187 yr Author were there other answers for q9 besides the 3 suggested I searched for hours trying to find a 4th answer and I couldn’t .
May 28, 20187 yr oh slay at me winning! congrats Bray too. :P going to have a bit of a lead in the leaderboard when I update it then.
May 28, 20187 yr Poor week for me :( Thanks for hosting vibe :) I’ll post my round of family fortunes tomorrow
May 28, 20187 yr 6. Name a song by a solo female artist that is a cover of a male solo artist, which out peaked the original in the charts? Top 75 only POINTS ANSWER MEMBER 11 Hallelujah (1 Alexandra Burke) (2 Jeff Buckley) LewisGT / soundseekerz / Riser / gavindeejay / TS0301 / Chezwombat / chrissmith276 / 777666jason / Dexton / Theo / Mic1812 33 Tears On My Pillow (peaked at same position 1) girl_from_oz A couple of minor issues (neither of which affects the scoring): The original version of Hallelujah was by Leonard Cohen, and reached #36 - still a valid answer. Kylie's Tears On My Pillow is not a cover of the Johnny Nash song (even though both songs have the title line followed by 'pain in my heart'). It is a cover of a non-charting song by Little Anthony & The Imperials (who are a group, meaning the answer is still incorrect). Thanks for hosting the quiz - happy to have finished third!
May 29, 20187 yr 6. Name a song by a solo female artist that is a cover of a male solo artist, which out peaked the original in the charts?

I cant believe Whitney's version only peaked at 8 !!!I decided to play it safe for this one by guessing 'Hallelujah', but was considering 'Driving Home For Christmas' as a loophole guess - since Stacey Solomon's cover DID outpeak Chris Rea's original at the time, it was only a few years later that Chris Rea ended up with the higher peak :magic: Was curious to see if that'd be counted as correct but this round seemed very loophole-averse and I didn't want to risk it being wrong and losing leaderboard points :heehee:
