Posted February 15, 20214 yr Welcome one and all to a new quiz season, and the first of 2021! :cheer: For our opening week, we had a classic game of Pointless, and it is now time for the results! I apologise at the outset that these results have been rushed a little, and there may be leeway given if mistakes have been made on my part, and I ask that someone bring those to my attention throughout the results. I will try my best to give you the results as I’ve calculated them. But I have learnt that Pointless quizzes in the chart forum have so many gaps and loopholes that if I’m not careful with the wording of certain questions I am inviting myself to be challenged when questionable answers are given to me! I hope I can score this fairly for everyone! :) The Questions; 1. Name a #1 single from the 00’s (2000-2009) from a movie soundtrack 2. Name an artist to have had a #1 album in this century without a Top 40 single in this century 3. Name a Top 10 single with a country in it’s title 4. Name a #1 single from a former TV soap star 5. Name a Top 20 self-titled album by a British artist 6. Name a boyband to have made 10 or more appearances in the main compilation series Now That’s What I Call Music! (Now 1-107) 7. Name a Top 10 single that mentions the words “Honey” or “Chocolate” in the lyrics 8. Name a dance song that has charted in the Top 40 so far in 2021 9. Name a Top 10 single with an animated music video 10. Name an artist who has recorded music with Elton John 11. Name a Top 10 album with an item of food in it’s title 12. Name a #1 single by a UK chart debutantParticipants; Addy!

February 15, 20214 yr I considered both Destiny's Child and Eminem so I'm glad I made the right decision! Only one point in those anyway :lol:
February 15, 20214 yr If Jailhouse Rock was 1957 surely that is an incorrect answer for Nina West as needed to be 2000-2009? EDIT: Ignore as the re-release of the song got to #1 in 2005 which fits the question! Edited February 15, 20214 yr by chrissmith276
February 15, 20214 yr Legit I considered going from All Saints, Destiny’s Child, Eminem and thought everyone will go after them so I went with LeAnn Rimes lol

February 15, 20214 yr I changed my mind from Jeff Lynne's ELO to Avenged Sevenfold. That cost me a point.

February 15, 20214 yr Author QUESTION THREE Name a Top 10 single with a country in it’s title fcWSorSj9Zk This question seemed to cause a bit of debate as to what qualified as a country name, but thankfully the answers received are all looking good!
