Thanks RabbitFurCoat for hosting - great quiz and love the theme, and most of the songs too!

 

Delighted with joint 2nd! There was a similar theme in the singles cover quiz in the last series, but even so I didn't twig it might be that until I'd got about 24 of the answers. Then I managed to work out the #7 and #18 peaking hits after a quick check of lists on Buzzjack for songs from the mid-2010s, unforunately without such a list for #25s I was stumped on that one!

 

Congratulations StoneDragon on the win!

Thanks - was interested to know if people got it and then were able to get more of the songs as a result.

thanks for hosting, thought it was very difficult but the ones I missed are either dance tracks I remember the title but not the tune

or those Little Mix/Girl Aloud tracks I'm zero fan of... so would have never guessed them

 

funnily I was 1000% convinced everybody would get The Cure-Lullaby, I thought it was by miles and miles the easiest one hahahaha :D

Wow - I actually won :yahoo: I haven't come in the top half of most of the previous quizzes, so that's a result for me!! The tracks fell well for me luckily, although I was convinced Jose Gonzalez was a Ben Howard song for ages!!! I would've got a full house if JT had been the most correctly guessed answer.

 

Thanks for hosting RFC - great spread of genres and years.

Thanks for hosting.

 

Disappointed with 7th having got all the songs and one minor slip up pushing me from what would have been Joint 1st!

I'm pleased not to finish bottom.

 

Thanks for the quiz, RFC, and well done StoneDragon for winning.

Probably my best result in a chart quiz ever, thank you for hosting. ^_^

Quick opportunity to plug next week's quiz.

 

Already had a good number of entrants ! Make sure to check it out and have a go - takes less 2 minutes to complete! :)

 

Quick Fire Quiz

I'll gladly take a top 10 finish!

 

Thanks for hosting RFC, it was an enjoyable round ^_^

Damn I'm so annoyed I only dropped 1.5 points in the main part of the quiz but finished 13th! The bonus questions really let me down :cry:

 

Really enjoyed taking part though, thanks for hosting and congrats to StoneDragon!

Thanks for hosting!

Congrats StoneDragon on your near-perfect score!

 

Disappointed in finishing 20th if I'm honest! I'm kicking myself for missing the theme, it didn't even occur to me that there was only one #1 on the list, which could've been enough to work it out. It was a good round, I just drew blanks more often than I should have. Thanks RFC for hosting!

Ohhhh I knew I knew 'Baby It's You' but couldn't remember it even though it's only a few months old :') Glad I correctly guessed it as an odd one out though!

 

Ah interesting at Redlight, I thought it was probably a '90s house song but had no clue on the first part of the sample before the piano (it kind of sounded like 'Warp 1.9' but not that). I've heard those 2 Redlight songs a couple times but never committed them to memory (whereas I love their much less relevant 2014 'hit').

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the three that didn’t all have profile flags putting them outside of the UK where I don’t think ['2000 Miles'] is as well known

I like when this happens :lol: indeed I've never heard it.

 

I thought all the songs I got seemed too well-known to be the least guessed so I picked song 24 from the ones I didn't have as the sample sounded pretty indistinct - wish I'd gone for song 16 instead :lol:

 

I think I'd have gotten most Prodigy hits but I barely know 'Voodoo People'. Oddly I thought it could be The Chemical Brothers and had a quick look through their singles, but didn't try The Prodigy.

 

I picked 'Mirrors' for the most guessed because of the sample being right at the start of the song, which seemed like a super recognisable section. I'd actually forgotten about the album version intro of 'Salute', but luckily the beat came in within the sample.

 

I had no idea on the theme at first and almost didn't bother, but I looked them all up on Polyhex (a) in case I found a pattern and (b) to count the number of first-week peakers, and once I had the 20 songs I recognised put together I could see they were all in the top 25 (except Arcade Fire) and with no double-ups :D Based on the number 27 I had wondered if it could be something to do with the alphabet (A-Z + numbers) but couldn't spot anything. Once I got the theme I thought of looking up the 'number 5 singles' and such threads but without the songs being in order, figured it would take way too long to bother :lol:

 

Fun quiz, thanks ^_^ (and love the 1975 song choice + 'Tidal Wave' and 'Flashdance')

Hooray! I came 5th!

Thanks for hosting, RabbitFurCoat!
