Welcome to week 9 of the quizzes and it’s a return of FAMILY FORTUNES

 

My first time hosting and I’m pretty excited but nervous!

 

 

The rules are that you’re trying to get the most popular answer! I have 20 questions for the quiz all of which are pretty much based across the UK charts although a small number are to do with our version of the Grammys the BRIT awards!

 

I’ll be accepting answers up until Sunday 31 May at 2pm. I’ll then do the results on the evening but this will now likely take place

over two days as I’ve had a lot of entries and it’ll take a while calculating the results.

 

 

 

All questions are based on the UK charts.

 

I’ll accept answers from any chart year unless specified in the question as long as they fit the question.

 

Accepting answers from the most up to date UK top 40 at the time of any answers being submitted (so that’ll be up to the chart which took place on 22 May as that’s the most recent chart what took place when I first had answers and I want everyone to have the same advantage). Any answers will be accepted if they fit for charts up till May 22 (even if a rare instance happens and as of May 29 someone doesn’t fit that question no more as a result of the May 29 chart).

1. Name a sugababes single released at a time Heidi Range was part of the groups line up.

All questions are based on the UK charts.

 

I’ll accept answers from any chart year unless specified in the question as long as they fit the question.

 

Accepting answers from the most up to date UK top 40 at the time of any answers being submitted (so that’ll be up to the chart which took place on 22 May as that’s when I had the first answers and I want everyone to have the same advantage).

 

For question 8, the song can be any song from the album as every single song charted it doesn’t need to have had an official single push / a music video.

 

For question 10, any artist who’s female or any all female group will be accepted and the #1 album can be any album through their career from their debut to their most recent as long as they just have one chart topping album but three or more top ten albums.

 

For question 13, a chart year basically I mean a calendar year. So say someone has two number ones in 2009 use that but not for example #1 in aug 2009 and another one in March 2010.

 

For question 14, no greatest hits compilations type albums just studio albums only.

 

For question 17, pick either a #11 track or a #41 track but not both! Giving you guys / girls a choice :)

 

PM answers.

I'm not quite sure what this bit means? "(can be either single or album bother they’ve done both)"

We PM you our answers I'm guessing? Looking forwards to this.

I’ve fixed that. Basically they can have both single and album or just one of those.

Thanks. Now when I do that question I'll have to remember it's Family Fortunes and not Pointless.

Reminder that May 22 (the chart just gone) is the cut off point charts wise for this quiz as I’ve already had some answers. If you’re planning on answering this after Fridays when we get the new chart pls ignore the new chart and refer to up till May 22.

Just wondering, can number 9 include the Rising Star award (what the Critics Choice was renamed to this year)? :)

Yes!! I’ll edit the first post too but saying as it is the same thing I’ll accept that.

Edited the first post now but yes PM me before 2pm on Sunday :)

Entered! ^_^

Still not completely sure what you mean by this:

6. Name any Canadian artist (male / female / group) with either a UK #1 single or album can be either single or album if they have one but not the other, but accepting answers if they’ve done both too)

 

Do you just mean any Canadian artist who's had a UK #1 single or album?

Yeah! Essentially anyone Canadian who’s had a #1 on any chart.

 

 

Entered, I hope to do better than in previous Family Fortunes rounds.

To anyone else wanting to enter this is your near 24 hour warning!

 

Still closing at 2pm tomorrow ^_^

Entered, really struggled with some of these qs especially the album ones!

 

And couldn't find anything for #3 sadly. Let's see how we do all the same ^_^

Thanks for all entries so far! Quite a lot for my first one!

 

The results of this may take a while to calculate but I will start the reveal of answers tomorrow although this will run into Monday as I’m collecting 20 rounds of points from almost 30 people (with more still to come too!)

 

Best of luck everyone :)

Has question three changed? I thought it was initially an album by a female artist that went to #1 but did not debut at #1??

Oh ignore me it still says that 🙈

Made a couple of last-minute changes to my answers. Hope I don't regret this.

Submitted my answers! Really had to think hard for some of these. Not expecting great things but we'll see :lol:
