We also had a question about a recent Suedeonia BJSC entry today.

 

Yes!! Loved it! Wouldn’t have got it otherwise!

 

"When she finished her laundry / She was all in a quandry"

- as rhyming couplets go, that's up there with "Ossie's going to Wembley / His knees have gone all trembly" :D

 

Round 1: 36 - didn't get

Bryan Ferry

 

Round 2: 30 - didn't get the year - 1 out

(said 1987), Glen Campbell

 

Three in ten: 1 - only got

You're So Vain

, should have remembered

Nobody Does It Better and Why

 

Round 1: 33 (didn't get:

Westworld, Bryan Ferry

)

Round 2: 30 (didn't get:

1986 (two years out), Glen Campbell

)

Three-in-Ten: 1

('You're So Vain')

 

 

The

Glam Rock

bonus category went way better for me than expected thanks to all of the questions involving

chart-toppers

 

 

Today I learned that there was a hit cover version of

Honeycombs - 'Have I The Right'

! I love the original.

 

I discovered

'Rock On'

by

David Essex

quite recently so that was good timing.

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

The year, Bryan Ferry, Sophie Ellis Bextor

 

Round 2 : 24 Didn't get

The year, Glen Campbell, Mariah Carey

 

 

I was one year out on both years today.

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'You're So Vain', 'Son Of A Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)'

)

 

Tough one for the 3 in 10 -

I kinda thought she was a one hit wonder oops (and the second one I got was just a feature that sampled 'You're So Vain' haha)

.

 

I got the same score as the contestant in both rounds today!

 

My failed guesses at the years today were

1987 and 1982

, 3 and 4 years out.

I really thought MC Hammer was late 80s whoops

. Other than that the only miss that I'm really kicking myself over is

Sophie, that was a mind blank moment

. Impressed that I managed to get both of the 'put these songs in order of release' questions right!

Looks like I was the only one to get Bryan Ferry

Round 1: 30 - didn't get

the Nazareth song title, Charlie Rich. I got Lynn Anderson - great song, although Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon which samples it is even better (and also a #5).

Oops at Spoony playing

Smokey Robinson

instead of the first country song :kink: Also the question about

Beautiful Liar made me think of the recent thread where it was suggested as one of Rihanna's best songs

:lol:

 

Round 2: 30 - didn't get the year - 1 out

(said 1976), the first Supremes hit (said Baby Love)

(Common People, Sorted for E's & Wizz, Disco 2000)

- snap with the contestant

 

I'll happily take 2/3 on the

Country Hits

bonus round which I thought would be a nightmare!

 

I only knew that

Supremes

answer because I recently did a marathon of Billboard Hot 100 #1s and remembered that one came first.

Round 1 : 12 Didn't get

Johnny Cash, the year, Nazareth, Lynn Anderson, Paul Weller, Charlie Rich

 

Round 2 : 18 Didn't get

Smokey Robinson, Supremes, Corrs, Stevie Wonder

 

 

A bad day, I didn't get any of the bonus questions. I should have known

A few annoying misses today -

The Corrs

I definitely should have got and then a couple that I'd have got if I retained information better from the #1 albums sessions whoops -

Paul Weller's song was literally played at the last session! I blame it having a generic title. And I know The Supremes one was track 1 on a greatest hits collection from them which I think was chronological, but alas could not recall the title

. And then

Lynn Anderson was a similar one to Robbie Robertson where I know the song from my mum being a fan but the artist name escaped me unfortunately

.

 

Pleased with myself that I finally got one of the years correct again at least! But then 6 years early with my guess for the second round's year which I think is the furthest out I've been to date :lol:

Round 1 : 27 Didn't get

Pearl Jam, the year, Olly Murs

 

Round 2 : 30 Didn't get

Fox, Tom Jones

 

 

Tie break - I got the

Prefab Sprout

question but not the other one

 

3 in 10 - 3

Love Letters, Is This Love?, That Old Devil Called Love

 

Forgot this would be back on today!

 

Round 1: 39 *.*!!!! :w00t: (both

Pearl Jam

and

5 Star

were lucky guesses based on the years mentioned)

Round 2: 21 (didn't get:

Fox, 1983 - was one year out like the contestant, The Selecter, Midnight Oil

)

Three-in-Ten: 2

(Is This Love?, Love Letters)

 

 

Well 2023 is off to a splendid start with a new personal best! Round 2 not quite as impressive.

 

Couldn't help but laugh when

'Senza Una Donna'

came up as I instantly thought of

'Censor Madonna'

from the #1 Album sessions recently :kink:

Well done on getting your first 39. It was only a matter of time.

well done Jade! I got the 90's rock track wrong and also the year, Round 1, so you would have beaten me! :lol:

 

Round 2 39 & the 3 in 10 was fine for me, seen her a couple of times in concert :D

 

Also, I am sat alone at home, with Covid and chest infection, no working fridge and I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow on my 65th birthday. Working from home or sick, I think, with Popmaster to keep me company :lol:

 

If I'm working tomorrow I wont have time to do a Birthday UK Number One review like Suedey did on his 60th, so maybe I can do a commentary-free list this afternoon instead... :lol:

 

 

what was really funny last Friday in the 3 in 10 segment, I couldn't understand what the presenter was saying

his pronunciation was so bizarre, I was understanding

Poe

, has to rewind 3 times and finlly figured out he meant

Pulp

:D

oh managed my first 39 today with the first round1!! 24 on the second one, harder cos of the oldies questions

3 in 10 was easy too

Round 1: 21 points

Didn’t get Pearl Jam (6), the duet, Five Star, Spin Doctors (6)

 

Round 2: 15 points

Only You Can (6), 1983, Def Leppard, On My Radio, Midnight Oil (6), Move Closer
