May 3, 20205 yr FYI I have now posted this week's quiz - Week 6 Quiz - Family Fortunes If you want to start working on that! :)
May 3, 20205 yr Author surprise :o let's have a couple more now 20. Britney Spears - If u Seek Amy 0aEnnH6t8Ts At #20 we have the third single from Britney's comeback album Circus, if u seek Amy <3 This sneaked a week in the top 20 and spent 7 weeks top 40! This was such a bop and an underrated Britney fave and ofc is iconic for the title's actual meaning, which I only found out a few years ago!! (oops at 8 year old me singing along to this song non-stop, Britney and Gaga being queens of unintentionally teaching me to swear x). the radio edit is also iconic <3 an artwork that was pretty clearly pop princess and legend Britney Spears managed to get most of you points, with 12 of you getting the right song! However quite a few people got Britney but went for the wrong song or didn't know which song this was for, with three Britney lead singles getting mentions! all in all, 18 of you picked up some points from this! Points: Jordan Lee, Mango, LewisGT, SamJudd, Bjork, West, MrAndrewMan, Dan17F!, Rush, Cremey, :') - 2pts Chrissmith276, PeteFromLeeds - 1pt (artist not song) Jade, Riser - 1pt (put Hold It Against Me instead of IUSA) Mack - 1pt (put Womanizer instead of If U Seek Amy) Vibe - 1pt (put Make Me instead of IUSA) N4yr - 1pt (put Til The World Ends instead of IUSA) Wrong Guesses: No Answer: everyone else
May 3, 20205 yr Author 19. Lady Gaga - LoveGame 1mB0tP1I-14 At #19 we have LoveGame, the 4th single (in the UK) from her debut album The Fame. This is a bop but is by far away my least fave of the singles from The Fame and is definitely low-tier Gaga in singles for me, still a bop though. This peaked at #19 in the UK and spent 8 weeks top 40, a hit but way smaller than the other gigantic hits from this era. I unintentionally included Gaga twice in this and didn't even realise until the results oops. I think this is the biggest surprise for me yet, I definitely expected more than two people to get this right (though I have just realised there's another artwork for this song as well oops but the one I went with is the cover I'm pretty sure I have on my CD single haha). Guesses include Xtina and Jade fails to get points for going for her favourite song Points: Jordan Lee, Rush - 2pts Wrong Guesses: Chrissmith276, Bjork - Christina Aguilera Mango - Alanis Morrissette - Head Over Heels Jade - Idina Menzel - Let It Go MrAndrewMan - Fleur East PeteFromLeeds - Ava Max Riser - Demi Lovato - Heart Attack No Answer: everyone else
May 3, 20205 yr Author 18. Katy Perry - The One That Got Away Ahha3Cqe_fk At #18 we have the sixth single of Katy's gigantic album Teenage Dream, with a slower turn on the album of The One That Got Away <3 This is a major Katy highlight for me (only behind Hot n Cold in her discography) and there is something so raw, stunning and heartbreaking about this track :heart: This was a pretty big hit for a song that was a single so late in the run, spending 14 weeks in the top 40 and 4 of those in the top 20 (and 9wks between 18 to 23). A smash *.* back to most of y'all doing well now with one of the easiest covers with 15 getting full points and 18 scoring some points! the artwork is beautiful <3 Points: Chrissmith276, Mango, Scene, Jade, Dan, LewisGT, SamJudd, Vibe, Bjork, West, MrAndrewMan, PeteFromLeeds, N4yr, Rush, Cremey, :') - 2pts Jordan Lee - 1pt (got artist but went for Wide Awake) Mack - 1pt (got artist, no song guess) Riser - 1pt (got artist but went for Flopleys in Hawaii) Wrong Guesses: No Answer: everyone else
May 3, 20205 yr Author 17. Cobra Starship & Leighton Meester - Good Girls Go Bad Ix5z1bRz4Sc At #17 we have one of the best of the 2009 bangers that were hits with the team up of Cobra Starship and gossip girl's lead Leighton Meester. Good Girls Go Bad is such a BOP and honestly I still listen to it regularly, the chanting bridge is a slay and the chorus is a bop and I stan Leighton's voice on this *.* This peaked at 17 in the UK and spent three weeks top 40! only four of you pick up points for this bop :( the artwork is messy but I stan *.* the wrong guesses are a lot of female artists and legend Khia *.* Points: Jordan Lee, SamJudd, Riser, Rush - 2pts Wrong Guesses: Chrissmith276 - Iggy Azalea Mango - Little Mix Jade - Charli XCX Mack - Nicki Minaj Bjork - Girls Aloud MrAndrewMan - Fleur East PeteFromLeeds - Lizzo N4yr - Khia No Answer: everyone else
May 3, 20205 yr Don't think I've ever seen that Gaga single cover, kinda think to recall a different one but Im no Gaga expert
May 3, 20205 yr Author 16. Freya Ridings - Castles H-3rxh8kZHE At #16 we have Freya Ridings best song Castles <3 This was an instant fave when it was released and it grew even more on me over the rest of the year to become one of my fave tracks of 2019, there's just something so uplifting and joyous about this and the chorus is fab, such a great song <3 This did pretty well in the UK, giving Freya a 2nd hit as this spent 11 weeks top 40, with 7 of them in the top 20! I was definitely expecting more than 5 people to get this with this being a recent hit! I think this is also the most wrong guesses we've had yet with many attempts instead of just blank spaces for this one, inc. double Snow Patrol, double Rihanna the biggest worldwide hit of 2019 and the queen of pop. Points: Jordan Lee, Dan, Coi, Dan17f1, Rush - 2pts Wrong Guesses: Chrissmith276 - Alicia Keys Mango - Madonna - Celebration Scene - Lil Nas X - Old Town Road Jade - Christina Perri Mack - Snow Patrol - You're All I Have SamJudd - Rihanna - Man Down Bjork - Rihanna MrAndrewMan - Fleur East PeteFromLeeds - Katy Perry Riser - Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars No Answer: everyone else and this is actually it for today now!! see y'all tomorrow :heart:
May 3, 20205 yr I think Castles was difficult, even now looking at it I cannot tell which part you used :D
May 3, 20205 yr Ooh thanks for the 10 points! I wasn’t expecting to get any points for the theme tbh but thanks! :)
May 3, 20205 yr I got Love Game by remembering that cover being a still from the video. I think both Love Game and Poker Face had two different single covers though for different territories.
May 3, 20205 yr Damn I even looked Freya Ridings up as was looking up female artists lol but didn't see/get that! Could tell it was Britney but didn't have a clue on which song when I searched!
May 3, 20205 yr Always loved that Cobra Starship song :wub: just don't think I've ever seen the single cover for it, oops. Great theme btw, really clever!
May 4, 20205 yr (timezone-sponsored catchup time) Oh hey I didn't think you'd give away the theme immediately from the first reveal :P Surprised I was the only one to get 'Wildest Dreams'! It wasn't obvious to me though - I kept staring at it trying to think of something, and 'Wildest Dreams' eventually popped into mind (probably subconsciously recognising the colour scheme) but I didn't think it was actually it, but I googled just in case and... it was. I easily knew 'Heavy' was Anne-Marie, but was thinking it was '2002' and had to look through her covers on Spotify to find the right one. I got 'Love Is A Losing Game' right at the last minute before I submitted - I just happened to think of Amy Winehouse (from the black hair and existence of a tattoo I guess), checked and she had a #33 hit, which made it easy to work out. and the only person to get this wrong is the only one that's got every single one correct so far :kink:Ohhhhhhhhhh 'React' 🤦 I knew it was familiar but I just could not work it out! I tried every big UK girl group I could think of and even did think of the Pussycat Dolls, but thought it didn't look like any of their old covers from memory and... forgot about the new one :') I feel like I should've known 'Ritual' but wasn't even close. It really does look like it could be an 'I Am... Sasha Fierce' Beyoncé video! I thought 'R U Mine?' would be wrong until working out the theme confirmed it, because Arctic Monkeys seem so out of place here :P 'Gold Dust' was driving me mad haha, I knew it was something I knew :lol: I was thinking it was an indie artist (someone adjacent to like MGMT or The Naked And Famous) which wasn't right though. Oh at only 2 people getting the theme :o I just thought it might relate to chart positions in some way, so I looked up the peaks of the first few and saw 16, 17... and it was clear something was unraveling. I had most of the songs at that point, which helped. I got the #12 hit after that by looking up the thread of 2010s 11-20 peakers (definitely expecting that to be one of the least guessed ones), but I already had the rest of the top 20 so I wasn't able to capitalise on that strategy further :P I did think of 'Hold It Against Me' first for Britney! Wow at only 2 for 'LoveGame'! The other cover is the definitive one in my mind but I very much know (and own physically) both covers. I would recognise that toilet paper and yellow shoe anywhere *.* I forgot it was such a short-lived UK hit until I looked up the peaks! (Also good timing with the recent Gossip Girl twitter meme :P) I think both Love Game and Poker Face had two different single covers though for different territories.'Poker Face' had a 3rd one too in France! And 'Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)' also had 2: Looking forward to the rest!
May 4, 20205 yr I wish I had figured out the theme only because I definitely would NOT have guessed 'Harleys In Hawaii' for the Katy one :') I actually thought that was correct for some reason. On the other hand I've got a couple right that I thought were complete guesses, turns out my memory is quite good on this!
May 4, 20205 yr Not Nicola Sturgeon being closer to the correct answer than some of my actual guesses :drama: Not too annoyed at the ones I haven't got so far, not really familiar with any of those covers. But I should have got that theme when I realised there were 40 covers as opposed to the usual 20/25!
May 4, 20205 yr Author 15. Duffy - Rain On Your Parade QJj4w9-WuQ At #15 we have the queen of 2008 (and my personal queen) Duffy with the bop of life Rain On Your Parade <3 This really should've been the bond theme for that year, it sounds perfectly fit to be like one and would honestly be my fave bond theme ever. Still listen to this regularly, it's acc aged rly well <3 Anyway this was another hit for Duffy in 2008, peaking at 15 and spending 7 weeks top 40! again were back to a low scoring answer as only 5 of you managed to pick up points! there were many wrong guesses for Madonna and also a guess for Alicia Keys, who ofc ended up recording the official Bond theme released that year! Points: Jade, Mack, SamJudd, Rush - 2pts Chrissmith276 - 1pt (Duffy - Mercy) Wrong Guesses: Jordan Lee - Ella Henderson Mango - Ellie Goulding - Worry About Me Vibe - Madonna - Give It 2 Me Bjork - Whitney Houston Mr Andrew Man - Madonna PeteFromLeeds - Britney Spears Dan17F! - Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire Riser - Madonna - Living For Love No Answer: everyone else
