March 15, 20214 yr I had completely erased from my memory that 5ive also did We Will Rock You was that piano song really Band Aid!! Would have never guessed
March 15, 20214 yr surprised not so many recognise Toosie Slide!! Even I recognised it and I consider it one of the worst#1s ever in the history of music :) it's Drake's "Me" moment :)
March 15, 20214 yr Author Listening to Come On You Reds/Burning Bridges side by side... it's literally the same sample so a tad annoyed I didn't get *anything* for that! I've just listened to them again both and they are very subtly different... sorry :P
March 15, 20214 yr Back to another clean sweep for a five song section yay *.* I definitely considered 'God's Plan' as well :lol: So bad that I've already forgotten but I think Dua might have been my guess for most picked? Yay!
March 15, 20214 yr New Rules was my most correct answers guess, yay! Intrigued as to what #16 will be...
March 15, 20214 yr :wub: I was very happy to hear the Manics included in here of course! I do wonder how many people would have got the intro for their other number one though, I think it might have been a fair bit lower. New Rules was the other track I was considering putting for most guessed so a bit gutted I didn't go for that in the end, and should have got Blue & Elton after getting Five & Queen right earlier, it was going so well :lol:
March 15, 20214 yr Just catching up on the results! I was torn whether to pick New Rules or a song yet to come as the most correctly guessed and went for the latter in the end! Damn. Otherwise pleased with my performance.
March 15, 20214 yr Oh dear, I knew I recognised that one but I evidently didn't go out of my way to hear Toosie Slide :P
March 15, 20214 yr Author :wub: I was very happy to hear the Manics included in here of course! I do wonder how many people would have got the intro for their other number one though, I think it might have been a fair bit lower. I did consider going for 'The Masses' but as it's a spoken intro it probably would have been very easy to google!
March 15, 20214 yr Did I properly hear Toosie Slide? I can't remember, I know it's a blatant, cynical Tik Tok cash-in x If You Tolerate This... was a fantastic choice :wub:
March 15, 20214 yr It's a pity there aren't more Manics #1's to choose from. Especially considering how many times they seemed to have peaked at #2. Edited March 15, 20214 yr by Dot Branning
March 15, 20214 yr It's a pity there aren't more Manics #1's to choose from. Especially considering how many times they seemed to have peaked at #2. Definitely, some of them feel like they would have been non-#1s if they had got there but A Design For Life and Your Love Alone Is Not Enough both deserved better!
March 15, 20214 yr I remember not getting 'If You Tolerate This...' before in a NMTBJ game so I'm glad I didn't do it again :lol:
March 15, 20214 yr Definitely, some of them feel like they would have been non-#1s if they had got there but A Design For Life and Your Love Alone Is Not Enough both deserved better! 100% agreed. Those were the two I was thinking of that really deserved it, especially A Design For Life which is a classic.
March 15, 20214 yr 100% agreed. Those were the two I was thinking of that really deserved it, especially A Design For Life which is a classic. Their luck with albums isn't much better, one #1 but five #2 albums! :nocheer:
March 15, 20214 yr Author 16. Bombalurina feat. Timmy Mallett - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini This "classic" from 1990, which has been on the old TOTP reruns recently, stumped a lot of you and it was the second least correctly guessed song in the quiz... ah yeah :lol: seriously, if you don't know it, check it out... :kink: Correct guesses (11/28): chrissmith276, donnahjaneymack, StoneDragon, Dobbo, Nina West, JulianT, Jester, CJK, LewisGT, awardinary, dandy* Incorrect guesses: Mack., coi, dan::G, jimwatts, rio309, Jade, PeteFromLeeds, paulgilb, n4yr, Chez Wombat, Riser, Ansel, Bjork, dj_tim_e, Dot Branning, vibe, Juranamo 17. Kiesza - Hideaway A very good score for this gem from the incredibly under-rated Kiesza! Correct guesses (26/28): chrissmith276, Mack., donnahjaneymack, coi, StoneDragon, dan::G, Dobbo, jimwatts, Nina West, Jade, PeteFromLeeds, paulgilb, n4yr, JulianT, Jester, CJK, Chez Wombat, Riser, Ansel, LewisGT, Bjork, dj_tim_e, Dot Branning, awardinary, Juranamo, dandy* Incorrect guesses: rio309, vibe 18. New Edition - Candy Girl And now we come to the least correctly guessed intro of the quiz. A one-week number one from 1983, I intentionally picked this one as a toughie so I'm not surprised it was the least recognisable! Correct guesses (9/28): coi, StoneDragon, jimwatts, Jade, JulianT, CJK, dj_tim_e, awardinary, dandy* Incorrect guesses: chrissmith276, Mack., donnahjaneymack, dan::G, Dobbo, Nina West, rio309, PeteFromLeeds, paulgilb, n4yr, Jester, Chez Wombat, Riser, Ansel, LewisGT, Bjork, Dot Branning, vibe, Juranamo 19. Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight Another very recognisable one, despite there being no actual music in the intro! Correct guesses (25/28): chrissmith276, donnahjaneymack, coi, StoneDragon, dan::G, Dobbo, jimwatts, Nina West, Jade, PeteFromLeeds, paulgilb, n4yr, JulianT, Jester, CJK, Chez Wombat, Riser, Ansel, LewisGT, dj_tim_e, Dot Branning, awardinary, vibe, Juranamo, dandy* Incorrect guesses: Mack., rio309, Bjork 20. Livin' Joy - Dreamer The epitome of a 90s dance classic, here's the other joint most correctly guessed song in the quiz so a bonus 3 points to you if you guessed that it would be! Correct guesses (27/28): chrissmith276, Mack., donnahjaneymack, coi, StoneDragon, dan::G, Dobbo, jimwatts, Nina West, rio309, Jade, paulgilb, n4yr, JulianT, Jester, CJK, Chez Wombat, Riser, Ansel, LewisGT, Bjork, dj_tim_e, Dot Branning, awardinary, vibe, Juranamo, dandy* Incorrect guesses: PeteFromLeeds
March 15, 20214 yr in the mid 00s the Manics had three #2s in a row (Richard Nixon-Empty Souls-Your Love Alone), so very Sash :D
