November 28, 20213 yr Author 7. How many copies will the number one single sell? (points: 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 for the five closest guesses respectively) Coffin A Feel: 72000 | rio309: 116750 | chrissmith276: 92000 | PeteFromLeeds: 78000 | n4yr: 98132 | Doctor Blind: 87500 | jimwatts: 98304 | LewisGT: 85000 | Ansel: 100000 | JulianT: 94000 | Jade: 98000 | Danvember: 78000 Again bolstered by the release of 30, 'Easy On Me' saw a huge upwards trend in sales this week, selling a further 100,627 copies. Ansel's highly astute prediction of 100,000 earned him 10 points, but the other point-scorers were all impressively close too! Points awarded: Ansel 10 (100,000) jimwatts 8 (98,304) n4yr 6 (98,132) Jade 4 (98,000) JulianT 2 (94,000)
November 28, 20213 yr I undershot on both the Adele ones but pleased I managed to scrape 2 on each of them! :)
November 28, 20213 yr Pretty happy with q7 :cheer: I thought I'd overshot tbh until the end of the week!
November 28, 20213 yr Author The Gregory Porter album. I was assuming it was a greatest hits album because of “the collection” but I honestly haven’t even read about it. :lol: Yeah I must admit I wasn't completely sure whether to count that as a GH - it has some of his previous releases on it but also some new songs, songs with new arrangements and a second disc of duets... so who knows! In any case, even if we counted it, there would only be a very small change to the results, the top three wouldn't be affected, literally just two players mid-table would switch places, so I'm gonna leave it as it is.
November 28, 20213 yr Can't believe my random guess of 2^18 was so close :o That’s so geekily brilliant! :lol:
November 28, 20213 yr Author 8. What number will 'Tell Me Something Good' be? (points: 10 if correct, 6 if 1 out, 3 if 2 out, nothing otherwise) Coffin A Feel: 7 | rio309: 15 | chrissmith276: 13 | PeteFromLeeds: 15 | n4yr: 15 | Doctor Blind: 13 | jimwatts: 16 | LewisGT: 17 | Ansel: 16 | JulianT: 17 | Jade: 19 | Danvember: 16 Like many on Buzzjack (including Coffin A Feel) I was hoping for this gem to crack the top ten at some point but it obviously just wasn't destined to be. Topping out at 15 for three weeks, it dropped a place to #16 this week, with three people correctly predicting this. A few people were one position out but curiously no one was two positions out. Points awarded: jimwatts, Ansel, Dan 10 LewisGT, JulianT, n4yr, PeteFromLeeds, rio309 6
November 28, 20213 yr I guessed correctly that Tell Me Something Good would drop below 3 songs from its First Look position of 14, but forgot about the Children In Need single freefalling below everything!
November 28, 20213 yr Author 9. How many songs in the Top 40 will be on ACR? (points: 10 if correct, 6 if 1 out, 3 if 2 out, nothing otherwise) Coffin A Feel: 23 | rio309: 4 | chrissmith276: 9 | PeteFromLeeds: 7 | n4yr: 7 | Doctor Blind: 8 | jimwatts: 9 | LewisGT: 8 | Ansel: 8 | JulianT: 8 | Jade: 5 | Danvember: 6 This probably shouldn't have been too diffucult to predict with some degree of accuracy based on last week's chart but maybe the Christmas songs being on ACR threw some people? 8 songs in the Top 40 are on ACR, clearly highlighted in blue in Dan's Top 100 thread, and four of you correctly predicted this. Again most people were close enough to score points. Points awarded: LewisGT, JulianT, Ansel, Doctor Blind 10 jimwatts, n4yr, chrissmith276, PeteFromLeeds 6 Dan 3 Edited November 28, 20213 yr by Mangø
November 28, 20213 yr Yeah I must admit I wasn't completely sure whether to count that as a GH - it has some of his previous releases on it but also some new songs, songs with new arrangements and a second disc of duets... so who knows! In any case, even if we counted it, there would only be a very small change to the results, the top three wouldn't be affected, literally just two players mid-table would switch places, so I'm gonna leave it as it is. Yeah, I agree. I was more just curious on which one we differed instead of trying to challenge you.
November 28, 20213 yr Those unexpected new entries at #39 and #40 knocking out That's What I Want cost me the full points there!
November 28, 20213 yr Author 10. How many Christmas songs will there be in the Top 100? (points: 10 if correct, 6 if 1 out, 3 if 2 out, nothing otherwise) Coffin A Feel: 10 | rio309: 3 | chrissmith276: 16 | PeteFromLeeds: 6 | n4yr: 7 | Doctor Blind: 12 | jimwatts: 10 | LewisGT: 9 | Ansel: 6 | JulianT: 13 | Jade: 5 | Danvember: 9 So this one was clearly a bit more difficult to correctly predict and no one got it on the nose. Well done to JulianT though for being one out - there were 14 Christmas songs in the Top 100 this week, clearly highlighted by the pretty Christmas tree emoji in Dan's Top 100 thread. JulianT 6 chrissmith276, Doctor Blind 3 Scoreboard coming next...
November 28, 20213 yr Author And the results are... 1 - LewisGT (61 points) 2 - JulianT (58 points) 3 - jimwatts (50 points) 4 - Ansel (43 points) 5 - Danvember (38 points) 6 - n4yr (36 points) 7 - chrissmith276 (35 points) 8 - PeteFromLeeds (32 points) 9 - Doctor Blind (31 points) 10 - Jade (27 points) 11 - rio309 (20 points) 12 - Coffin A Feel (16 points) Thanks to all who took part in this cobbled-together-at-the-last-minute quiz, hope you enjoyed it and well done to LewisGT - true prediction king! If you haven't already done so, have a go at Julian's double-themed intros, it's open for another hour. Edited November 28, 20213 yr by Mangø
November 28, 20213 yr Congratulations Lewis! Thanks very much for this Mangø - it really was very good fun and it was a shame you couldn’t take part too! When I first joined the forum in 2009 there was a weekly Top 10 prediction game - what happened to that?
November 28, 20213 yr Well played Lewis! Happy to be on the podium. Thanks Mango, for a cobbled together quiz I thought this worked really well!
November 28, 20213 yr Happy to see I won. I think that might be my first ever win in the Chart Quizzes. Thanks for hosting Mango!
November 28, 20213 yr Author Thanks very much for this Mangø - it really was very good fun and it was a shame you couldn’t take part too! I did actually put together some predictions for fun before I received anyone else's - based on those I would have finished fifth!
November 28, 20213 yr Congratulations Lewis! Thanks very much for this Mangø - it really was very good fun and it was a shame you couldn’t take part too! When I first joined the forum in 2009 there was a weekly Top 10 prediction game - what happened to that? it ended due to a lack of interest, I subsequently revived it but that too ended when it fell to having a lack of interest. this was a good few years ago now so someone is welcome to try and revive it again next year (but I won’t be volunteering)
November 28, 20213 yr Oops, I knew I was in for a poor night so I'll take a top 10 scrape and hope for better in the next one :lol: congrats Lewis and thanks for hosting Mango!
November 29, 20213 yr Thanks for hosting, well done to Lewis and happy with mid table - could have been a couple of places higher had I noticed the top 10 new entries was in the album rather than singles chart!
