The top answer must surely be considered Blink 182’s defining song over their #2 at this point. Amongst a handful of others, Taylor and Little Mix score some of us more points.

April 19, 20214 yr It took me ages to think of something for the rhyming one then 'Da Funk' popped into my head finally, glad others put it *.* I literally talked about 'I Miss You' in a countdown I'm doing elsewhere on the forum last week and didn't get that :lol: yay for others putting 'Move' at least.
April 19, 20214 yr 3 top answers and a 0 pointer so far... Have a feeling it may crumble on some of the other questions!

Tim McGraw [Taylor Swift] | Riser Not sure if I correctly assumed more people would remember Sam Feldt than the Charlie and Meghan song which narrowly gets top marks here. A few other good answers about, but only three more score points: I combined the various Rihanna songs titles as I was only looking for the artist. Edited April 19, 20214 yr by jimwatts
April 19, 20214 yr Ah I was going to go with Rihanna but didn't think it fit as had "Walks Like" before the name. Should have just gone with it!! Didn't realise Yxng Bane had a song out called Rihanna.
April 19, 20214 yr I almost went with Marvin Gaye but thought more people would go with The Cure with it being more recent! Duh! Edited April 19, 20214 yr by Mangø
April 19, 20214 yr Author Q6. A song which has been "overplayed" according to many Answers given 12 | Scoring 6 | Top score 6 bCuhuePlP8o 6 points Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved | jimwatts, Mango, Riser, rio309, ...ready for it, King Rollo, Bré 4 points The Weeknd - Blinding Lights | LiamSime, Dobbo, PeteFromLeeds, Bjork, West 2 points Ed Sheeran - Perfect | paulgilb, n4yr, coi 1 point Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You | Ansel, xajnipi Killers - Mr Brightside | LewisGT, awardinary Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody | vibe, garyfeld 0 points Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand | Kath Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love | Mack. Pharrell Williams - Happy | Jade Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars | dan::G Tones & I - Dance Monkey | chrissmith276 Wham! - Last Christmas | JulianT Another question where the correctness was open to interpretation. For once I called this right, albeit with one of my favourite songs of the decade, which I’d certainly agree has had more than its share of heavy rotation on Spotify by now. Although I can’t remember the last time I heard it on the radio, aside from that remix which Heart sometimes play, whereas I can hardly switch on that station without hearing Shape Of You. The much loved Blinding Lights brought up second place here. Halfway through Q1-Q12, I’ve revealed the answers to: Q3, Q4, Q6, Q7, Q9, Q10 so still to come are: Q1, Q2, Q5, Q8, Q11, Q12 Edited April 19, 20214 yr by jimwatts
April 19, 20214 yr Oh how did I not think of Lewis, of course! I did put 'Shape of You' at first but changed oops
April 19, 20214 yr Balls!! Was thinking Blinding Lights but a lot of people including me still really like it. Thought Dance Monkey would pick up some points :( So I have 3 x top answers and 3 x 0 points Edited April 19, 20214 yr by chrissmith276
April 19, 20214 yr Balls!! Was thinking Blinding Lights but a lot of people including me still really like it. Yes I swerved this for the same reason :( "overplayed" has negative connotations for me and it was voted BuzzJack's favourite #1 of 2020. Ah well!
April 19, 20214 yr Good to get top answers for the last two. With the results being revealed in this order, each top answer becomes more important as we go on.
April 19, 20214 yr I was thinking because of the whole Whamageddon thing that people might go for that - maybe if the quiz had been in December!
April 19, 20214 yr I'm happy I've got 3 top answers so far - I'm hoping it's all I'll need for that leaderboard win!
April 19, 20214 yr Author Q5. A song which, despite being a big hit, was not playlisted by Radio 1 Answers given 12 | Scoring 5 | Top score 7 iEPTlhBmwRg 7 points Maroon 5 (feat.

Wyclef Jean) - Hips Don't Lie | paulgilb Moves Like Jagger got off to a slow start as it was only used once in the first 11 entries, but rallied from there. The other scorers are all with two points, ranging from the legendarily banned Relax to the, er, sublimeness of the last LadBaby offering. Of the nul pointers, I think WAP and Bruises were actually playlisted. Edited April 19, 20214 yr by jimwatts
April 19, 20214 yr Bruises was a complete guess for me 😂 I’ve only really listened to radio 1 properly for the past year or so, so I didn’t have a clue for this one!
