July 6, 20187 yr Reasoning in my PM for this question: Because his previous album missed the top 10 and the one released around the time of his actual big hit didn't get to #1, the trajectory of his albums has been very weird x Aww at only the two of us thinking of that album (Passenger was fresh in my mind after 'Let Her Go' featured in a recent Now plug.dj session) but at least we had each other there *.* The Greatest Showman didn't even cross my mind!
July 6, 20187 yr Author and finally 10. Name what you think the next major change / new rule in the official charts will be. http://grassroots.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Oops-Didnt-Get-It-Inspected.jpg Video / YouTube streaming (16): Bré, Bjork, paulgilb, danG, TS0301, King Rollo, 777666jason, Jade, dj_tim_e, PeteFromLeeds, Riser, LewisGT, Suedehead2, BridgeCow, awardinary, Yorkie3, WhoOdyssey Radio airplay added (2): HarryEzra, Mack., Dobbo Higher/changed ratio of streams to sales (1): vibe, gavindeejay Removal of free streams (1): SM351, Dexton "Any songs by Drake automatically weighted at 1:10000000000000 in the futile hope that the OCC can actually get a fresh chart, before realising he's bypassing every adjustment they're throwing at the chart to prevent his domination and just exclude him altogether and make special Drake detecting drones to capture and eliminate any people happening to stream Drake or related songs on Spotify, Operation Totalitarian Drakeover *." (0): Chez Wombat Gradual stream to sales ratio change when songs move to ACR (0): Theo. Limit number of features that can chart at once (0): Jüpiter Official chart scrapped and replaced with SevenSeize's personal chart (0): SevenSeize no answer (0): girl_from_oz Well this question was badly timed wasn't it :lol: of course the OCC went and announced their next major rule change very shortly after I posted this quiz, and that rule change is the overwhelming top answer. Big sorry to the couple of very early voters who missed out on that one. (I have to admit I sneakily didn't do my answers IMMEDIATELY, so this isn't a case of me being prophetic - but I promise I didn't look at anyone else's answers before I did my own :kink:) The biggest make-or-break point here, as it's 16 points. There are still a couple of other answers worth points though. Three of you are tempting fate by suggesting the OCC may one day incorporate radio airplay (please dear god no) which is thus worth two points, and there's a point apiece for guessing that the OCC would make more tweaks to the ratio of streams to sales or that they'll remove free streaming from the chart entirely. Both very plausible. Theo and Jüpiter also made pretty sensible suggestions but get nothing to show for it. I'll let Chez and Seven's answers stand on their own. x girl_from_oz again didn't answer the question, whoops ~ ~ ALMOST got it all done before midnight! Off to tot up the scores now, thanks anyone who's followed along this late :magic:
July 6, 20187 yr Well I could have been in contention to win if I'd gone with Bionic... Genuinely thought The Vamps would be more infamous now that they've broken her record, oops :lol:
July 6, 20187 yr The timing of that one :lol: couldn't believe it when the YouTube thread popped up here so soon after your round went up.
July 6, 20187 yr 9. Name a UK #1 album in 2016, 2017 or 2018 that was 'surprising' in some way. The Greatest Showman Cast - The Greatest Showman - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (6): Bjork, Theo., paulgilb, 777666jason, girl_from_oz, Yorkie3, WhoOdyssey Now as this one of a subjective question, I can't really call any of these 'wrong', but I'm certainly surprised at 'The Greatest Showman' being the top answer here. I suppose it getting to the 20 weeks at #1 mark was a surprise but I don't think it was much of a surprise that it originally got that #1, unless people are just surprised that such an album is allowed into the artist albums chart rather than being relegated to the compilations chart. Each to their own. In any case, there's 6 points on offer for those who went with the album dominating the 2018 charts. I nearly went for TGS because of its longevity.
July 6, 20187 yr Author Wow, never more has it been such a disadvantage to enter so late. Most (if not all) of the people who answered video streaming did so after it was announced! :lol:
July 6, 20187 yr I hope that getting Mariah, Christina and YouTube plus no 0 scoring answers will be enough for top 10, fingers crossed!
July 6, 20187 yr Q10 was a bit unfortunate, I would have gone for a phased version of ACR but had to change my answer after the OCC's announcement. Chez's suggestion should be implemented immediately.
July 6, 20187 yr I figured for 10 it would then have to be something ELSE This sort of something else? mgQg4ze1_KU :music:
July 6, 20187 yr Author And the winner is........ :jump: :o :coffee: RISER!!! With a grand total of 60 points :cheer: :party: x
July 6, 20187 yr Author Full results: http://i.imgur.com/3qmnj9h.png SO CLOSE to a self-victory, darnit xx (I'll take solace in being one of only two people to get no 0s - the other being Jade, and we of course saved each other from getting 0 on question 9 lmao :lol:) Shoutout to 777666jason who, although he 'only' finished 3rd, tied Riser for the most top answers with six out of ten. Just didn't get the crucial Mariah answer that woulda put you over the top!
July 6, 20187 yr Ooh I'm chuffed with 6th place *.* I think that officially puts me 2nd on the overall leaderboard then, yay! :heart: Congrats to Jordan for winning this and thank you very much to Bray for hosting, a fantastic round to see out this first season of Chart Forum quizzes *.*

Its a pity so much rested on the last question. How dare the OCC change the rules without consulting Buzzjack :angry: Thank sales to all the other hosts.
