Westlife is a bit of a strange answer (no offence Chris Smith :P) considering the many #1 singles they had during the previous decade or two - due to the ambiguous wording of the question I didn't know whether the band should have no #1s full stop or just in that particular decade, so I had to play safe

 

Thought The Vamps would be an easy winner as they came close a few times and my other consideration, Union J, feel more forgotten

maybe Mack thought this was Pointless again?

We'll see..

Quite pleased with how this is going so far!

Haha exactly what I was thinking!

I interpreted as a boyband with hits in the 2010s but no #1s during that time... Bit silly of me perhaps!

I'm glad that Union J came into my head eventually because it was M.A.D. / Reconnected territory at first :lol:

 

HAD to be 'Shape of You'!

oh i’m glad the vamps just about won that question - bts didn’t cross my mind.

 

that shape of you landslide *_

Not doing too bad so far 2 out of 4 top answers..

Well f*** you Ed...idk how to justify my "Perfect" answer, I clearly thought the Beyoncé stans would be out in force :cry: or that Christmas #1 would have some sway :drama:

I almost asked for a little clarification on questions 3 & 8 but hey, it's more fun and unpredictable when questions can be interpreted in various ways!

5. Name a female soloist with multiple top 10's, but no number one hits.

[10] Mabel: Dobbo, awardinary, coi, Dexton, MrAndrewMan, WhoOdyssey, Dan17F1, diva thin muffin, dan.G, Jahq, chrissmith276

[8] Janet Jackson: vibe, Bjork, paulglib, xajnipi, LewisGT, PeteFromLeeds, Jordan Lee, Jade, King Rollo

[5] Selena Gomez: jimwatts, n4yr, tgl92, Bré, gavindeejay, Riser

[2] Avril Lavigne: M4NGO, Scene, SamJudd

[0] Alesha Dixon: girlsaloudjunkie

[0] Shania Twain: West

[0] WRONG - Lil Kim: Mack

Another rather tight one, I must say I was quite shocked to see Janet Jackson get such a high score here - I'd never have known she hasn't had a #1! A couple of interesting choices here... Shania Twain being a fantastic shout for Pointless, but unfortunately not so for Family Fortunes. Also, another inspired choice by Mack - "Lady Marmalade" was a thing ;) Mabel, probably the most obvious choice, gets a healthy score of 10, leading the way.

 

Halfway through, and it's rather tight so far between a close top 5. Good luck!

Mabel a better answer than Janet Jackson? Offensive tbh x

6. Name any dance track that hit the top 10 in 2019.

[8] Kygo "Higher Love" (feat. Whitney Houston): vibe, awardinary, Bjork, Dan17F1, diva thin muffin, Jade, Bré, Jahq, King Rollo

[5] Calvin Harris & Rag 'n' Bone Man "Giant": M4NGO, paulglib, jimwatts, SamJudd, dan.G, gavindeejay

[5] MEDUZA "Piece of Your Heart" (feat. Goodboys): coi, xajnipi, WhoOdyssey, girlsaloudjunkie, Riser, LewisGT

[2] Regard "Ride It": Dobbo, n4yr, PeteFromLeeds

[1] Joel Corry "Sorry": MrAndrewMan, Jordan Lee

[0] Jax Jones & Martin Solveig "All Day & Night" (feat. Madison Beer): Dexton

[0] Sam Feldt "Post Malone" (feat. RANI): West

[0] Tones & I "Dance Monkey": chrissmith276

[0] Dua Lipa "Don't Start Now": Scene

[0] Jax Jones "This Is Real" (feat. Ella Henderson): tgl92

[0] KSI "Down Like That" (feat. S-X, Lil Baby & Rick Ross): Mack

Another close one... "Higher Love", arguably the biggest dance tune of 2019 has a narrow lead here, giving 9 contestants a healthy 8 points. Some controversial definitions of "dance" here, such as "Don't Start Now", and "Dance Monkey"... but I can see where Chris and Scene were coming from (and besides, I did speak of the boundaries being loose.). Aaaand, the less said the better about KSI's "Down Like That" being chosen... :wacko:

Completely forgot about The Vamps :lol:

 

Omg yeah Higher Love happened

Glad that selling out paid off more this time x

This isn’t going too bad so far. I think it’s going to go quite badly wrong for me quite quickly soon though :rolleyes:

7. Name a Drake track that has hit the top 5 in the past 5 years.

[19] "One Dance": Dobbo, M4NGO, awardinary, Bjork, coi, paulglib, jimwatts, Scene, tgl92, Dan17F1, diva thin muffin, girlsaloudjunkie, LewisGT, PeteFromLeeds, Jade, gavindeejay, Jahq, Riser, chrissmith276, King Rollo

[7] "God's Plan": vibe, xajnipi, n4yr, MrAndrewMan, WhoOdyssey dan.G, Jordan Lee, Bré

[1] "Nice For What": Dexton, West

[0] "Hotline Bling": SamJudd

[0] WRONG - "No Stylist": Mack

 

 

In all honesty I was expecting "God's Plan" to sweep the floor here, with "In My Feelings" in a close second place. Instead, Drake's 2016 dancefloor banger "One Dance" amasses a remarkable 19 points. Huuuge. Other than that, not much to note - aside from "No Stylist" getting a mention (which didn't hit the top 5 :P).

Edited April 12, 20205 yr by mdh

there was a thread about the biggest act without a #1 and that was Janet Jackson, so I imagined people would remember that

My first thought was 'God's Plan' just because 'One Dance' feels like so long ago :lol: but yeah, summer '16, so immediately changed!
