November 11, 20204 yr Author FAMILY FORTUNES Questions: Name a #1 hit that is or contains a proper noun. Well we get our first mini landslide here (no proper landslide this round thankfully) - with Ed Sheeran's dedication to the city of London. He won't be going back there anytime soon however as it is in lockdown. Meanwhile Havana also proved to be somewhat of a good choice for me and 3 others. ehQcuKhO5n0 10 - Take Me Back To London [Ed Sheeran] n4yr, chrissmith276, b, awardinary, jlj, jimwatts, Dobbo, Bré, King Rollo, CianS, Mack 3 - Havana [Camila Cabello] danvember, paulgilb, StoneDragon, Jade 0 - Bohemian Rhapsody [Queen] M4NGO 0 - Waterloo [Abba] dj_time_e 0 - Godzilla [Eminem] PeteFromLeeds 0 - Vogue [Madonna] vibe 0 - Grace Kelly [Mika] rio309 0 - Billie Jean [Michael Jackson] Ansel 0 - Hey Jude [beatles] AaronTM 0 - Vienna [ultravox] [WRONG: not a #1 hit] Bjork 0 - Galway Girl [Ed Sheeran] [WRONG: not a #1 hit] RabbitFurCoat 0 - Greece [DJ Khaled] [WRONG: not a #1 hit] Riser 0 - River [Ellie Goulding] [WRONG: ‘River’ is not a proper noun] Nina West
November 11, 20204 yr 'Havana' always seems to come into my head for questions when a city is relevant :lol: I'll take second best!
November 11, 20204 yr TMBTL :) Hopefully I can make it back there on 13 December but all BA flights up until then have been cancelled so far!
November 11, 20204 yr Author Name a performer who has had at least two #1 hit singles, including at least one as the lead and one as the feature. Well, I thought Ed Sheeran would be the answer for this question but not the question before, poor judgement on my part. But the answers area gain a bit spread out with Jade's Nth Ariana guess actually benefitting this time as she is worth 3 points. It is the king and queen of the 2010s who however are the top answers here which includes one song they did together.

November 11, 20204 yr Decided against Havana for the first FF one as it didn't do too well as an answer on previous Family Fortunes! Some of those songs weren't #1s by the way.
November 11, 20204 yr It doesn't make any difference to the scores,but aren't some of the other answers to the proper noun question wrong as they were not number 1 hits? Vienna,Galway Girl and Greece didn't get to no.1.
November 11, 20204 yr Author Name a top 10 hit with a colour in the title. Another very popular answer for this question in 'Yellow' with 9 posters going for that. The song has reappeared in the Spotify chart thanks to TikTok so I guess it makes sense it is the top answer here. Thankfully what first came to my mind in 90s cheese classic 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' was still reasonably well remembered, with 'Black Magic' also getting a few points - another sensible option given the current chart battle. yKNxeF4KMsY 8 - Yellow [Coldplay] n4yr, chrissmith276, PeteFromLeeds, awardinary, Bjork, AaronTM, jimwatts, Jade, King Rollo 4 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) [Eiffel 65] danvember, M4NGO, rio309, RabbitFurCoat, Bré 3 - Black Magic [Little Mix] paulgilb, jlj, StoneDragon, Dobbo 1 - Green Light [Roll Deep] b, CianS 1 - Blue Monday [New Order] Nina West, Ansel 0 - Red Red Wine [uB40] dj_time_e 0 - Purple Rain [Prince] vibe 0 - Blueberry Faygo [Lil Mosey] Riser 0 - Red [Daniel Merriweather] Mack
November 11, 20204 yr Author It doesn't make any difference to the scores,but aren't some of the other answers to the proper noun question wrong as they were not number 1 hits? Vienna,Galway Girl and Greece didn't get to no.1. Ah thanks, I forgot to mark those as wrong (but of course, it doesn't matter as it's zero points either way) [61,000th post!]
November 11, 20204 yr Ariana being more useful for FF :cheer: I thought the obvious question for the noun question was Vienna :D That was a #2 hit though :kink: of course should've been a #1 </3
November 11, 20204 yr oh didn't read it well, didn't read it had to be a #1 Bohemian rhapsody is also a wrong answer if you're picky, Bohemian is an adjective and rhapsody is not a proper noun ;)
November 11, 20204 yr I didn't know that about Yellow. I picked it because it was the first one which came into my head so I thought that might be the same for others.
November 11, 20204 yr Author Name a song you'd associate with a dance. Another big win here for anyone who answered 'Macarena'. Despite being from the 90s it is seemingly still the go to answer for songs that had dance moves to go along with them. 'Gangnam Style' with its iconic horse dance was half as popular here, with the Drake dance songs also getting answered alongside... Levels which is my fave song ever but not one I'd associate with a dance so seems quite odd of an answer. zWaymcVmJ-A 10 - Macarena [Los del Rio] danvember, n4yr, M4NGO, b, PeteFromLeeds, vibe, jlj, Ansel, AaronTM, jimwatts, CianS 5 - Gangnam Style [Psy] Bjork, Nina West, RabbitFurCoat, Bré, Jade, King Rollo 1 - Toosie Slide [Drake] chrissmith276, Mack 1 - Cha Cha Slide [DJ Casper] dj_time_e, rio309 0 - Baby Shark [Pinkfong] paulgilb 0 - Harlem Shake [bauuer] awardinary 0 - In My Feelings [Drake] StoneDragon 0 - Levels [Avicii] Dobbo 0 - Teach Me How To Dougie [Cali Swag District] Riser
