Thanks to the 55 players who took part this week.

 

Results coming shortly!! :D

Eek - I have the results in Excel but doesn't copy and paste well into here at all.

 

Is there any way of doing it from Excel in to here without the formatting being all over the place? Perhaps as a picture or a link?

 

Q1. How many days did The View have the same jeans on for in their song "Same Jeans"?

 

 

 

 

29/55 people got this right and knew that those jeans were kept on for 4 days. Great song from my uni days!

I timed out on this one but knew the answer of course :cry:

That's a great little tune!

Ooh okay the one I was confident on hasn't come up yet and I got 'Same Jeans' right so raising my standards to 2 correct instead of 1 :D :lol:

Q2. How many people supposedly went out for dinner in Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's OK?"

 

 

 

 

14/55 people got this one right. A little trickier this one... Only 2 people actually had dinner out of a supposed 6 as 4 of them were really cheap

Q3. How many red balloons did NENA sing about in her #1 hit?

 

 

 

 

This song is clearly more popular than I gave it credit for with all but 3 people knowing that it was 99 balloons!

Are you able to post who got what right as I can't remember half the answers I entered! (I'm pretty sure I got Q2 right though). I've tried clicking on the link and requesting access, is that what we're supposed to do?

Q4. What was the aggregate age of the All Saints members when "Never Ever" hit #1?

 

 

 

 

The word aggregate clearly threw a fair few people off here. Aggregate of course means total and not average!! The members of All Saints were collectively 91 years old when Never Ever hit the #1 spot.

 

Nobody got it right but 7 players were just 1 year off and score maximum points

I cannot copy and paste the results from Excel so am saving as Google Sheets. Access should just be open though. Not sure if I have to grant permissions etc.

I can't access it, when I click on any of the links it says I have to request access, which I've done. Are you seeing the access requests come through?

Links should be accessible now :)

Q5. How many times is the word "Low" used in the lyrcis of Flo Rida's song of the same name?

 

 

 

 

"Low" is used 65 times in the song. Guesses ranged from 8 to 330 on this one!! Nobody got it correct but 2 players just one away who get maximum points

Q6. What position did Jay-Z's "99 Problems" peak at in the chart?

 

 

 

 

Probably my favourite Jay-Z song - it only peaked at #12 in the charts - robbed of a Top 10 position!! 8 players getting this one correct and scoring max points

 

 

Q6 results

Oops I definitely misread 'aggregate' as 'average' under pressure :lol: '99 Red Balloons' was the one I knew had to be right at least :heart:

Q7. How many Top 10 albums has Cliff Richard had?

 

 

 

 

Sir Cliff has been around for a long long time and has had a whopping 46 Top 10 albums! Nobody got this correct but 4 players were just 1 away and score top points here.

Q8. How old was Madonna when "Hung Up" was #1?

 

 

 

 

Madge was the ripe old age of 47 when she was bouncing around in her leotard at the summit of the charts in 2005. 16 players getting this one bang on.

Q9. To the nearest 1,000 how many copies did Cher's "Believe" sell in its opening week?

 

 

 

 

This opened with sales just short of 168,000. Less than I thought it would have actually! But increased in sales the week after. Amazingly No Sleeep got this bang on!

 

 

Q9 results

I made pretty similarly close guesses for both Cliff and Madonna, but got 55 points for one and 35 for the other :lol: (I guess there's a little more memorable context for the Madonna one!)

 

I seem to have remembered the second week position rather than the first week for '99 Problems' :kink:
