May 25, 20205 yr Author 36. Editors – In This Light & On This Evening Release year: 2009 UK Chart Peak: #1 Greatest Hits: No Indie group Editors were an established name in the alternative music industry at the time, and this was their third album, released in 2009, and peaking at the very top of the UK Albums Chart. The album contained just 9 tracks and only one major hit which was the Top 40 single Papillon which was to be their last Top 40 single to date. The artwork wasn’t very distinguishable but some were able to guess correctly.

May 25, 20205 yr Author 37. Basement Jaxx – The Singles Release year: 2005 UK Chart Peak: #1 Greatest Hits: Yes For #37 it is of course the “Greatest Hits” collection by dance producers Basement Jaxx. The album contained all their singles up to that point in time including Red Alert, Rendez-Vu, Bingo Bango, Romeo and Good Luck. It was a chart topping album from 2005 and had a distinguishing cover guessed by many here in this quiz.

It contained Top 10 singles Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous, Girls And Boys and The Anthem. They went on to release a handful of other albums following that.

May 25, 20205 yr Author 39. Skrillex & Diplo – Skrillex & Diplo presents Jack Ü Release year: 2015 UK Chart Peak: DNC Greatest Hits: No We have arrived at the penultimate album, and also at long last the identity of the second album which did not chart in the UK Albums Chart. Dance producers Skrillex and Diplo merged to form a joint project they called Jack Ü. It was an electronic album of collaborations with big names at the time like Justin Bieber, Kiesza, AlunaGeorge and 2 Chainz. Whilst the album did not chart, their single Where Are Ü Now featuring Justin Bieber certainly did, peaking at #3 in 2015.

May 25, 20205 yr Basement Jaxx was unmistakable :wub: my favourite greatest hits package ever! I agree Jade - a pretty epic collection of hits!! :D Oh My Gosh is still a great video I go back to watch!
May 25, 20205 yr I had not realised Skrillex and Diplo released an album but recognised the U from the Where Are U Now single cover so...
May 25, 20205 yr Author 40. Ariana Grande – My Everything Release year: 2014 UK Chart Peak: #3 Greatest Hits: No So here is the last album cover which you were asked to guess, it became the most correctly answered album cover in the entire quiz (by a margin thanks to Mack.), scoring an impressive accuracy score of 83.33%. My Everything failed to hit the top spot in 2014, settling for a #3 chart peak. The album spawned singles like the chart topping Problem (with Iggy Azalea), Break Free with Zedd, and one of her most regarded pop hits One Last Time. Correct Answers: 22 of 27 (83.33%) :'), Bjork, chrissmith276, Cremey, DalekTurret32, dan-G, Jade, J🐠hq, jimwatts, Jordan Lee, King Rollo, LewisGT, ✖ leww ✖, M4NGO, n4yr, Riser, Rush, Sarah, Scene, TheHitParade, vibe, West Wrong Answers: Ariana Grande – Dangerous Woman (Mack.)* No idea but he should put that woman’s leg down (PeteFromLeeds) * As mentioned in the rules, 5 points will be awarded for correct artist.
May 25, 20205 yr I hosted a listening session of 'My Everything' last week in the Ariana AF, with that cover appearing as an embed several times, so would've been embarrassing to miss that :lol: I think I got 13 of these in the end which is a remarkable recovery from how awful the first half went!

May 25, 20205 yr Empire Of The Sun were one of the most recognisable ones for me *.* The Hit Parade is right about "that band that the bloke from the Sleepy Jackson is also in"! I'd give him 2.5 points at least :P Shame David Gray wasn't a mystery deluxe rotated version of that Gary Barlow cover. Well done Riser getting a 'Greatest Hits' point :P I thought that Lucie Silvas cover looked incredibly familiar (and kept thinking of Jennifer Paige and Rachel Stevens, hence going with 'an algorithm merging' them), but I barely know of her. I pictured the full cover as her sitting on a bed not standing against a wall. Wow I really thought Lighthouse Family was a circa-1994 US R&B album, and it seemed just on the tip of my tongue. P.M. Dawn was the name I kept thinking of, and also Boyz II Men, the 'Boomerang' soundtrack, the album of Warren G's 'Regulate'... I'm glad I didn't spend more time trying to look down this path :P Good Charlotte is something I should've known. I thought the person looked like David Bowie and looked through his covers and tried googling 'David Bowie watching TV' to no avail. I was quite surprised the Jack Ü album didn't chart. I tried searching/checking every credit I could think of on the OCC site before checking Wikipedia where it had a #131 peak listed :lol: I had nowhere near enough of the covers to actually count the GHs or #1s, so my strategy was to count the proportion of the ones I did have, and extrapolate that (i.e. 6/15 and 5/15 of what I had were GHs and #1s respectively, which was equivalent to 16/40 and 13/40). I'm glad the first one came close (I was thinking as I read through that it would be lower)... and the second was correct! :o :') Having looked up the peaks for the ones I had, I knew Jack Ü was a non-charter, but just put cover #11 as a random guess for the other.
May 25, 20205 yr I probably should've realised Jack Ü was a non-charter, particularly as I didn't even know they had released an album!

May 25, 20205 yr Sleighin I realised what #40 was a few minutes after I sent my votes but decided I couldn't be bothered to send another PM to add it in :kink: I wasn't far off being right with my completely random guess of the number of #1 albums, aww xx
May 25, 20205 yr Wow I really thought Lighthouse Family was a circa-1994 US R&B album, and it seemed just on the tip of my tongue. P.M. Dawn was the name I kept thinking of, and also Boyz II Men, the 'Boomerang' soundtrack, the album of Warren G's 'Regulate'... I'm glad I didn't spend more time trying to look down this path :PP.M. Dawn was my initial thought for that one too! The picture seemed to fit their aesthetic :P Good job y'all and thanks Andrew for hosting :D
