November 1, 20204 yr Author 1. Just Jack – Overtones Release year: 2007 UK Chart Peak: #6 Self-Titled: No Often considered a one hit wonder, but back in 2007 an English musician who went by the name of Just Jack came out of nowhere to score a #2 hit on the UK Singles Chart with Starz In Their Eyes. He went on to have three other UK Top 40 hits afterward, but no other chart success since 2009. Overtones was his second studio album and was certified Gold. The animated artwork seems to be a giant head of a man, in a metropolitan scene, surrounded by small alien figures seemingly escaping the man’s left ear. Correct Answers: 15 of 27 (57.69%) Bjork, chrissmith276, CianS, Cremey, Dan17F1, jimwatts, M4NGO, Nina West, PeteFromLeeds, RabbitFurCoat, Riser, StoneDragon, The Hit Parade, TS0301, XhannahlongX Wrong Answers: David Gray (jlj) My Chemical Romance (Blade)
November 1, 20204 yr That cover did look familiar to me but I don't think I ever would've got it. 'Starz In Their Eyes' is such a tune :wub:
November 1, 20204 yr Author 2. Craig David – The Time Is Now Release year: 2018 UK Chart Peak: #2 Self-Titled: No The seventh and most recent studio album by Craig David was released in 2018 and reached a respectable peak of #2 in the UK Albums Chart, missing out to one of the soundtracks of the 21st Century for The Greatest Showman. Craig’s sustained popularity earned him two UK Top 40 singles from this album. The artwork features Craig in a white tracksuit contained within a large, spherical clock, lit up against a dark backdrop. Correct Answers: 15 of 27 (57.69%) Ansel, Bjork, chrissmith276, Cremey, Dan17F1, danGnation, jlj, M4NGO, Nina West, PeteFromLeeds, Sarah, Tefo, The Hit Parade, TS0301, XhannahlongX Wrong Answers: Jason Derulo (Blade) Justin Bieber – My World 2.0 (Riser)
November 1, 20204 yr Oh wow what a flop Craig fan I am Kicking myself now, especially as the circle theme extended to the artwork for the singles too.
November 1, 20204 yr Author 3. Maroon 5 – V Release year: 2014 UK Chart Peak: #4 Self-Titled: No American band Maroon 5 had over a decade of mainstream success prior to the release of this, their fifth studio album aptly given the Roman numeral V for its title. The album spawned four UK Top 40 singles, with Maps and Sugar reaching the Top 10, later prompting the album to be certified Gold. The cover is of a large, red illuminated letter “V” at the edge of a lake with a hazed backdrop. Correct Answers: 20 of 26 (76.92%) AaronTM, Ansel, Bjork, Blade, chrissmith276, CianS, Cremey, Dan17F1, danGnation, jimwatts, M4NGO, n4yr, Nina West, PeteFromLeeds, Riser, Tefo, The Grim Bréaper, The Hit Parade, TS0301, XhannahlongX Wrong Answers: The Killers (jlj)
November 1, 20204 yr I knew Craig David’s straight off! But I’d have never gotten that Just Jack one. I did kinda know it wasn’t David Gray but I seem to guess him a lot on this site when it comes to quizzes like this one day he will actually appear :lol:
November 1, 20204 yr Author I did kinda know it wasn’t David Gray but I seem to guess him a lot on this site when it comes to quizzes like this one day he will actually appear :lol: He actually appeared in my last album cover quiz! :o

November 1, 20204 yr Author 4. Will Young – Friday’s Child Release year: 2003 UK Chart Peak: #1 Self-Titled: No The first ever Pop Idol winner Will Young would go on to have a very successful music career as one of the finest talents manufactured from a reality show. His second studio album came out in December 2003 and went to the top of the UK Albums Chart, reaching a certification of 5X Platinum, making it his most successful album to date. It contained the UK Top 10 singles Leave Right Now, Your Game and Friday’s Child. The artwork shows Will seemingly jumping for joy next to a stone wall within an English meadow on a clear day.

November 1, 20204 yr Yesss!!! This is one what sometimes trips me up but I’m glad actually it was Will Young this time round.
November 1, 20204 yr I thought that one would annoy me but I'm actually not that familiar with the 'Friday's Child' cover, so that's a relief
November 1, 20204 yr Author 5. Jennifer Lopez – J. Lo Release year: 2001 UK Chart Peak: #2 Self-Titled: No A bit of a curveball within this quiz due to the title of the album not quite qualifying as a self-titled album. J.Lo was the second studio album by Jennifer Lopez released in 2002. The album went 2X Platinum and was responsible for 4 Top 10 singles including the UK #1 Love Don’t Cost A Thing. The artwork is simply a breezy self portrait of the singer herself. Correct Answers: 19 of 26 (73.08%) AaronTM, Ansel, Bjork, Blade, chrissmith276, CianS, Cremey, Dan17F1, jimwatts, jlj, M4NGO, Nina West, Riser, Sarah, StoneDragon, The Hit Parade, TS0301, vibe, XhannahlongX Wrong Answers: Britney Spears (PeteFromLeeds)

The Wanted – Battleground Release year: 2011 UK Chart Peak: #5 Self-Titled: No British boy band The Wanted emerged in 2010 and went on to become a major pop group who dominated the UK charts for the next few years, amassing 12 UK Top 40 singles. A third of their hits came from this, their second studio album, including the UK #1 single Glad You Came. The album artwork shows the 5 members of the group stood in front of a mountainous landscape with a blazing red sky.
