April 5, 20205 yr Author 6. name an artist who achieved a #1 single in two separate decades or more GxBSyx85Kp8 another spread out question here, at this point every point will make a difference to the leaderboard. Usher proved the most popular here getting 3 answers for getting #1s in 3 decades. the artist with the most decades of #1s, Cliff Richard, was pointless, as are Queen who had #1s in 4 decades, Elton John, Eminem, Madonna, Robbie Williams, Blondie and Bee Gees who had #1s in 3 decades.

April 5, 20205 yr :cry: what a disaster!! 'You Make Me' is Avicii's best song though - taste Coldplay redeeming me at least :cheer:
April 5, 20205 yr I nearly went for Pink Floyd as having a number one in two decades as Another Brick In The Wall Part II was number one at the end of 1979 and the beginning of 1980 but, again, aI wasn't sure whether it would count. Thankfully, I got a Pointless answer anyway!
April 5, 20205 yr Author 7. #1 hit of 1997 (my birth year!) p2AjpPNDe-8 another spread out question here, with the most popular answer turning out to be U2's largely forgotten 'Discotheque' (I couldn't hum it to you). my birthdate #1 'Men In Black' scored 2 points, but I was pointless with the Teletubbies. Groups proved fairly popular here with 2 points to anyone answering The Verve, Blur, The Chemical Brothers and Various Artists (plus soloist White Town).

April 5, 20205 yr I was thinking of Roy Wood who had a no.1 in the 60s as part of The Move and in the 70s as part of Wizzard but wasn't sure if that would be accepted. I got a pointless answer anyway.
April 5, 20205 yr Author 8. #1 hit achieved by a girl group. A4LcwjNH7m0 another unexpected most popular answer here in the All Saints #1 'Bootie Call', scoring you 3 points, whilst 2 others of theirs were pointless. I should've made this question girl group who achieved a #1 really, as it's yet another one with very spread out answers. Popular groups here included B*Witched, Little Mix, Sugababes and Spice Girls, with a few looking to the distant past too.

April 5, 20205 yr Going with the #1 hit on the day I was born paid off *.* Me and Bray picking the same girl-group song :cheeseblock:
April 5, 20205 yr Author 9. finalist of the X Factor (UK) who achieved a top 10 hit, who did not win the show. uxevD8-bG9k as is sometimes the case with pointless it is the least successful that rack up the points (which I kinda forgot about sending my own answers in oops), with the most popular here being Marcus Collins and Misha B who both had very short lived careers. G4 who I legit forgot about also had a few, whilst two of the biggest successes of this list Olly Murs and Ella Henderson ended up as pointless.

April 5, 20205 yr Damn it, should've taken my question 7 answer over to question 8 as well the artist with the most decades of #1s, Cliff Richard, was pointless ONLY A EUROVISION LEGEND :heart:
April 5, 20205 yr Author 10. name a #1 hit credited to Calvin Harris 17ozSeGw-fY final question and now for one that will have a lot of you kicking yourself! 'Sweet Nothing' and 'Summer' made up nearly half of the total here, so many many points for anyone who went for either of those. other somewhat popular answers included 'Under Control', 'Feels' and 'I'm Not Alone', with his biggest hits in 'One Kiss' and 'We Found Love' being pointless and unanswered respectively. 'Spectrum' also got 2 answers, which I will accept as he is given an artist credit as a remixer on the song, even if the OCC don't recognise this as a #1 for him. ‘Blame’ (2014) dan.G, n4yr, SamJudd [2 points] ‘Dance Wiv Me’ (2008) DalekTurret32 [POINTLESS] ‘Feels’ (2017) Bjork, dandy*, Jahq, StoneDragon [3 points] ‘I’m Not Alone’ (2009) chrissmith276, West, vancey, Toilet Rollo [3 points] ‘One Kiss’ (2018) vibe [POINTLESS] ‘Promises’ (2018) Dobbo, Riser, Spiceboy [2 points] ‘Spectrum’ (2012) Mart!n, diva thin muffin [1 point] ‘Summer’ (2014) Scene, M4NGO, girlsaloudjunkie, LewisGT, Mack, mdh, Jester, Jade [7 points] ‘Sweet Nothing’ (2012) paulgilb, George.keh, tgl92, awardinlockdown, Math, Dan17F1, PeteFromLeeds, WhoOdyssey, Bré, Suedehead2 [9 points] ‘Under Control’ (2013) coi, Dexton, gavindeejay, jimwatts [3 points] Unanswered: ‘We Found Love’ (2011)

April 5, 20205 yr Well that was an underwhelming start to these games! Hope I can perform better in Family Fortunes. Thanks for this Dan!
April 5, 20205 yr Well done Spiceboy on getting the lowest score. 11th place wasn't too bad for me. A bit of luck is always required on Pointless. Thanks Dan for hosting.
