QUESTION SIX

Name a boyband to have made over 10 appearances in the main compilation series Now That’s What I Call Music! (Now 1-107)


It really was damage limitation for this question, and those who correctly answered McFly were the worst off for it. No pointless answers given, I doubt many were left to be given, but some names given didn’t meet the criteria unfortunately and are awarded maximum points (I have edited it so maximum points reflect the number of participants minus 1 rather than 100 that I was using before)

CORRECT ANSWERS

McFly
Addy!, Ansel, JulianT, LewisGT, PeteFromLeeds, Rob S, Scene, The Hit Parade, vibe (8 Points)

Take That
Bré, Dobbo., J❄️hq, Mack., RabbitFurCoat, Simon., xajnipi (6 Points)

Boyzone
Bjork, dan :: G, Nina West, rio309, West (4 Points)

Backstreet Boys
awardinary, King Rollo, paulgilb, StoneDragon (3 Points)

One Direction
gavindeejay, Jade, n4yr (2 Points)

East 17
jimwatts, Mangø (1 Point)

INCORRECT ANSWERS :nocheer:

Blue

Reason: Less than 10 appearances in the Now series

JLS
CJK (37 Points)
Reason: Less than 10 appearances in the Now series

UB40

yeah this evil question lol

 

I went through so many NOW track lists for Blue only to find out they had 9 appearances...McFly was something I answered after I got tired and I was like if it's wrong then it is what is!!!

I thought UB40 would be fine as it is an all male band who did pop music so technically a "boy band"?

 

I assume U2 is probably too rock to be considered a boy band?

Glad One Direction didn't prove too popular an answer! They had exactly 10 appearances including 2 on the same edition - what a squeeze :lol:

 

I initially did the same as Addy and was gutted when Blue stalled at 9 appearances! Both JLS and The Wanted had less than I expected.

Thought Take That would be the obvious choice here.

'Sugar Sugar' came into my head for two different questions (the thumbnail is a clue for the other one) but I didn't actually pick it for either!

 

Glad Elton was a Pointless! That of course being a "honey" song.

Hi ‘wardy,

 

Just catching up. I thought someone asked a clarification on the country question and things like American, British, etc were allowed (I might’ve remembered wrongly though)? That’s why I put ‘Tom Jones – Young New Mexican Puppeteer’’. I changed my answer from China Girl - David Bowie!!

 

Also my Q7 answer is missing. Transvision Vamp - I want your love

I used Journey South for 2 answers and that’s proved to be a good description of how my game has gone. :arrr:

That Now question was EVIL, where the hell is there even a list of those? :drama:

 

This went downhill fast, I was so confident in Shayne Ward and Paul Heaton :'(

Ooh doing pretty well with these for once on here :lol: the only thing #sabotaging myself here is I don't get how I got a pointless answer for Amy McDonald when I looked it up after I submitted and it turns out there's no self titled album lol. That's the one I assumed there was.

 

Oops at McFly being too obvious but yay for the other results so far.

I used the lists on the Lounge poll of Now songs that Wardy and Dan did three years ago. It would have taken much longer to keep clicking from one album to the next one. I would have just done a wild guess.
