Posted April 4, 200619 yr Chart Arithmetic Firstly, establish the UK chart peaks of the following six singles. Then either add,multiply or subtract each chart position in order. The number you're left with is the current UK chart position for the 7th act. Finally there is a common connection between those seven acts..what is it ?? ANASTACIA - Left outside alone + BASEMENT JAXX - Rendez-vu + COLDPLAY - Speed of sound x EMBRACE - Natures Law - FAITHLESS - We come 1 - GREEN DAY - American Idiot = This weeks UK Chart position # ?? which is by _______ ____ The common link between all seven acts is ??? (It's pure coincidence that the acts run alphabetically)
April 4, 200619 yr Well, that's hard your making us suffer with maths. Perhaps the link is that all the artists have never had a #1?
April 4, 200619 yr The link is that they are all the artists highest charting singles (joint highest charting in some cases). The maths: 3+ 4 + 2 = 9 x2 = 18 - 3 - 3 = 12 Edited to show Green days position as 3 not 2!! And thats all from memory!
April 4, 200619 yr The link is that they are all the artists highest charting singles (joint highest charting in some cases). The maths: 3+ 4 + 2 = 9 x2 = 18 - 3 - 2 = 13 And thats all from memory! Where do you get the 2 from at the end? :???: The final artists does not match your highest charting criteria! ;)

April 4, 200619 yr Where do you get the 2 from at the end? :???: The final artists does not match your highest charting criteria! ;) Ah yes, 3! not 2 - and that still matches the criteria!
April 4, 200619 yr Ah yes, 3! not 2 - and that still matches the criteria! No, no no, 15 -3 = 12 #12 is this weeks position for Depeche Mode - Suffer Well. Hence my first comment. Depeche Mode have had two #4 singles and neither are the current one :D

Depeche Mode have had two #4 singles and neither are the current one :D That not the point though, as all JC asked what was the current number 12 then? It dosent have tio be THEIR higest entry!
April 4, 200619 yr That not the point though, as all JC asked what was the current number 12 then? It dosent have tio be THEIR higest entry! The final bit is The common link between all seven acts is ??? Seven not Six I suspect it's more likely it's that not one has had a #1 single but they have all had #1 albums.

April 4, 200619 yr Author Perhaps the link is that all the artists have never had a #1? Yep,that is the correct answer ! Well done E-mo for getting the answer in so early. :cheer: Well done to Jester though for doing the maths in finding Depeche Mode as the missing 7th act. Not all the acts concerned have managed a UK #1 album though. ;)

April 4, 200619 yr Author Who is the artist that's not had a #1 Album :unsure: Anastacia. (Her first and biggest selling UK released album 'Not that kind' made #2) :huh:
April 4, 200619 yr Anastacia. (Her first and biggest selling UK released album 'Not that kind' made #2) :huh: :huh: What was the #1 Album on 11/04/2004 ? http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0001HKV9M.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
April 4, 200619 yr Author :unsure: Erm.. yep,okay.In my defence y'honour,my latest edition of the Guiness Hit singles & albums only goes as far as Dec 2003.As it wasn't the answer I had in mind,I didn't check the album facts on this occasion. Well,I spose that's another connection all sevens acts have..a total oversight on my part..but again..purely coincidental. :P Well spotted e-mo.. have a biscuit !! http://www.biscuit.org.uk/2menu2/images/raisin.jpg ;)
