Q2 - To the nearest 1,000 how many copies of "It's Like That" did Run DMC sell in its opening week?

 

 

 

 

This was a huge smash in 1998 spending 6 weeks at #1. It sold 242,796 copies in its opening week so 243,000 is the correct answer here.

 

Xajnipi was the closest here with a guess of 240,000.... On the other end of the scale we had ...readyfor it who thought they sold 5,000 and Jade who thought it sold 1 million!!

I got question 1 right! I remember counting them when they performed on Top Of The Pops.

OOPS I meant 100,000 :rofl: but still over double that anyway!

Think I was at least somewhere in the right region with the Blazin Squad members! Can't remember what I put for the Run DMC question but probably way off. :lol:

 

ETA: Just checked and shocked I got Blazin Squad exactly right!

This peaked at #24 though I think it deserved better!!.

 

Impressively 10 players get this bang on and we have a slew of players who thought it was a Top 10 hit

 

 

Q3 Results

I knew it was somewhere in the 20s but the exact number was escaping me. Close enough!

OOPS I meant 100,000 :rofl: but still over double that anyway!

 

Haha I thought you may have meant that but your answer said 1000 - whether I took this as 1000 or 1000000 you were still 2nd last on that one either way! :lol:

The only thing I could remember was that she had never had a #1! Another complete guess. :lol:

omg did I get Blazin' Squad right? I totally guessed that one x

 

(I can't see the results for Q2, I think there's a typo in the link)

I knew it was 20-ish

so far I'm getting close enough but not really there :)

 

does the link for the answer 2 work?

It didn't work for me either, question 2.

Q4 - How many Top 10 hits has Ed Sheeran had?

 

 

 

 

Ed Sheeran has had 28 Top 10 hits to date!

 

5 players guessed correct. The shame bell is reserved for gavindeejay who thought Ed only had one Top 10 hit

 

Thanks to Dj_tim_e and Mack making me laugh with their answers of "Too Many" :lol:
