So the song which didn't make number one was Busted's 'Year 3000' which was correctly identified by 22 people for 3 bonus points:

chrissmith276, Mack., donnahjaneymack, coi, StoneDragon, dan::G, Dobbo, jimwatts, Nina West, rio309, Jade, paulgilb, n4yr, JulianT, Jester, Chez Wombat, Ansel, Bjork, dj_tim_e, Dot Branning, awardinary, Juranamo

 

The two most correctly guessed songs were Dua Lipa's 'New Rules' and Livin' Joy's 'Dreamer', so the 3 bonus points here go to:

chrissmith276, dan::G, Dobbo, jimwatts, rio309, Jade, PeteFromLeeds, n4yr, CJK, Chez Wombat, Riser

 

And the least correctly guessed song was New Edition's 'Candy Girl', so the 3 bonus points here go to just a handful of players:

StoneDragon, dan::G, JulianT, CJK, Dot Branning

 

Final scores coming shortly!

Of the ones I didn't get, Pet Shop Boys is the one I really should have got. I knew it must be late 80s but all I could think of when I heard the clip was Sinitta's So Macho which I knew wasn't #1. I think I put down Tiffany's I Think We're Alone Now even though I knew it was wrong. :lol:

And the scores are in!

Well done to StoneDragon and JulianT - as well being the only two players to correctly guess every intro, they also got the bonus points for the red herring and the least correctly guessed :)

 

Thanks for taking part, jimwatts' Anagram Quiz is now open to enter so go and check that out!

A mid-table finish then, not too bad. Huge congratulations to StoneDragon and JulianT on their perfect performances there, and thanks for hosting!

Thanks very much for the quiz Mango and well done StoneDragon - I was chuffed to get them all in the end but I did have to listen to it lots of times!

Thanks Mango - very enjoyable and great management!

 

Happy with 3rd place :D

 

Congrats to joint winners - very impressive!!

:yahoo: I've been doing pretty badly in these quizzes so that feels good to ace one for a change. :dance:

 

I nearly put Dua as the most correctly guessed too (a recent song by a popular female artist) but though Carley Rae was an even more buzzjacky answer (and it's so distinctive)!! Luckily it didn't matter.

 

Well done to JulianT and thanks for the quiz Mango.

 

 

10th, not too bad could have been a lot worse, although kicking myself for some of them answers.

 

Well anyway THANKS FOR HOSTING MANGO

Very happy with joint 4th! That was a fun mix of #1s, well done Mango for putting that all together and hosting at short notice. Congrats Julian and StoneDragon on the win!

 

Thanks for the plug, my quiz is open until Saturday night!

Very happy with top 10! Thanks for hosting this Mango and congrats to the winners *.*

So I ended up joint 13th which I'm happy with really - I was hoping for a mid-table finish and that's what I got! (I knew I was never going to win!)

 

Was a little bit surprised that George Ezra wasn't the most guessed number one based on how recent it is and its ubiquity, but I was also considering Dua Lipa as an answer to that question so I'm kicking myself for going with George and not with Dua! :drama:

 

Thanks for hosting, Mango and congratulations to the winners! Very enjoyable quiz and it has reminded me of a few tunes I haven't listened to in a while!

17th. Not as bad as I expected. I did well with the bonuses.

 

Thanks Mango for hosting.

 

Congrats to winners.

Congratulations StoneDragon and JulianT and thanks for hosting Mango!

 

I think this is the best i've done in one of these quizzes so pleased with that.

Thanks for the quiz Mango. 13th was as good as it was going to get for me after seeing the other results.

Gosh, everyone did so well! :o I can't be too upset at finishing bottom 5 as most of the songs I missed were songs I didn't know, and I had a couple lucky guesses to make up for those. My recognition of UK #1s from the pre-Buzzjack years is sorely lacking :P

 

Congrats StoneDragon and Julian on your very impressive perfect scores, and thanks Mango for hosting!

Thanks for hosting, Mango!

Thanks for hosting! I knew I hadn't done great but I'm impressed at how good everyone else was!

So many songs that I'm aware of but haven't heard enough times to be able to pinpoint the intros :( None I'm really kicking myself on (although I'm still rather annoyed at not getting anything for Burning Bridges and may-or-may-not find a way of getting you back for that one :kink:) although this is why I'm trying to familiarise myself with more songs from pre-2014!

 

Thanks for hosting Mango and well done to everyone who knows considerably more intros than myself :lol:

Just to stop you getting me back, I'll give you the point... but you still don't finish any higher than you would have done ;)
