Round 1 : 24 Didn't get

Darlin', the year, Take That, 911

 

Round 2 : 15 Didn't get

S Club, the year, Ricky Nelson, Emmerdale, Leona Lewis. I should have got Hello Mary Lou but just couldn't think of the title

 

 

3 in 10 : I got one, I might have got more but the man saying three quickly put me off.

R1: 18 -

Beach Boys 'Darlin' (-6), 1994 (-3) [guessed 95], Howard of Take That (-3), Wizzard 'Are You Ready to Rock' (-3), Queen 'Save Me' (-6)

 

R2: 24 -

S Club 7 'Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You' (-6), Ricky Nelson 'Hello Mary Lou' (-6), Emmerdale (-3)

 

Round 1: 18 (missed

'Darlin'' (-6), 1994 (-3), Howard Donald (-3), Queen (-6), 911 (-3)

)

Round 2: 21 (missed

'Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You' (-6), 'Hello Mary Lou' (-6), 'Native New Yorker' (-3), King (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'I Predict A Riot', 'Ruby', 'Never Miss A Beat'

) - easy, seems like I was the only one to go for that last one instead of another of their earlier hits though!

 

1 year early for the round 1 year grrr, at least nailed the second one!

 

Big 'today I learned' moment re

Howard Donald, I didn't know he had any songs with lead vocals

! And had two lucky guesses be correct today -

I probably knew the Wizzard one subconsciously from it always being included in the chart show thread writeups for their Christmas hit, whereas Emmerdale was just a complete random guess, perhaps my subconscious thought process there was hillbilly = farm = Emmerdale lmao

.

Round 1: 27 (didn't get:

Alicia Bridges, 1996 (3 years out), 'My Brother Jake'

)

Round 2: 33 (didn't get:

1985 (2 years out), 'I Love Music'

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Spinning Around, Can't Get You Out Of My Head, Slow)

 

 

Yay, back in the right direction today. Nice and easy 3-in-10!

 

Glad I got the

Pigbag

question right as it's a

QPR

anthem and my dad and brother are big supporters :lol:

 

'Vienna' as the post-PopMaster song :wub: :wub:

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

Elaine Paige, Alicia Bridges

 

Round 2 : 24 Didn't get

O Jays, Paulo Nutini, Kelly Osborne, Before You Go

 

 

I was doing well until getting the last four questions wrong.

 

3 in 10 : 3

Spinning Round, Wow, Can't Get You Out Of My Head

 

39 round 1, 27 round 2 doh! The recent questions did me in. Peasy 3 in 10 though :dance:

Was on a roll with round 2 and hoping for a new best but alas just matching my best to date!

 

Round 1: 21 (missed

Elaine Paige (-3), Alicia Bridges (-6), 1996 (-3), 'My Brother Jake' (-3), Kiki Dee (-3)

)

Round 2: 30 (missed

'I Love Music' (-3), Kelly Osbourne (-6)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'I Believe In You', 'Get Outta My Way', 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'

) - easy again today!

 

Definitely didn't know either of the ones I missed on round 2 (

I have no memory at all of Kelly Osbourne covering 'Papa Don't Preach' whoops!

), lucky educated guess on the year. Was 4 years early on round 1 and probably should have got

Kiki Dee

too.

 

A real mix of quality in the songs referenced in round 1 -

The KLF and Simon & Garfunkel on one hand, Cliff Richard and Alexandra Burke on the other

.

Round 1: 36 (didn't get:

Jon Secada

)

Round 2: 33 (didn't get:

Faith Hill, Dollar

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Respect, I Say A Little Prayer, I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me)

 

 

So close for Round 1! I've definitely heard that

Jon Secada

song before thanks to TOTP but the title just wouldn't come to me in time.

 

Knew the first year thanks to

'Batdance'

but the second was a lucky guess.

Round 1 : 24 Didn't get

The year, Billy Preston, Jon Secada, The Script

 

Round 2 : 30 Didn't get

Faith Hill, East 17

 

 

I should really have got

Billy Preston and East 17

 

 

3 in 10 : 3

Who's Zooming Who, I Knew You Were Waiting, I Say A Little Prayer

^ oof at one year out 4 times in a row!

 

I got a new high score in round 1 - although it should have been a Champions' League qualifying score as I got the year right and then changed my mind yet again!! - but then a complete mare in round 2 missing 2 extremely easy questions oops!

 

Round 1: 33 (missed

1989 (-3), 'Just Another Day' (-3)

)

Round 2: 12 (missed

Yazoo (-3), Neneh Cherry (-6), 1977 (-3), 'I'll Stand By You' (-3), Faith Hill (-3), Dollar (-3), East 17 (-6)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Respect', 'I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)', 'Who's Zoomin' Who?'

) -

thanks to another recent episode keeping the third on my mind as I think I may have stalled on 2 otherwise

 

 

2 years late on round 1 after switching my mind, 3 years late on round 2. I would never have got the other one I missed in round 1 so no chance of a 39 still.

 

From round 2,

I confused Alison Moyet with Annie Lennox AGAIN and said Eurythmics instead of Yazoo :drama: and then I just went full mindblank trying to recall Girls Aloud's #1 singles ooops. I had no idea about the rest tbf, would never have guessed that last clip being East 17, I'm used to 'Stay Another Day' from them not whatever KLF ripoff that song was x

 

Catching up on this!

 

Thursday:

 

Round 1 - 39 :cheer:

Round 2 - 32:

I guessed "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" rather than "...Pigbag" so may have dropped about 4 points there, and didn't get O Jays

 

Three in ten: 3

I Should Be So Lucky, Slow, Can't Get You Out Of My Head

 

 

Friday:

 

Round 1 - another 39 :cheer: :cheer:

Round 2 - 36: one year out, costing me a perfect day! :drama:

(Said 1978)

 

Three in ten: 3

Respect, I Say A Little Prayer, A Deeper Love

 

I got all the 3 in 10 this week, hardest ones were

Aretha and Sophie

but got to 3 in the end

 

If one is picky there have been a couple errors in last week's questions

 

Neneh Cherry had 3 top 10s in the 90s, besides Woman she also had Seven Seconds and that charity one Love Can Build a Bridge

then Sophie Ellis Bextor was not officially credited in Groovejet

;)

 

Round 1: 24 - one year out

(said 1983), didn't get Time Is Tight or the Glen Fry one, also my first thought on the Bond theme was The Living Daylights but I inexplicably changed my mind to View To A Kill, d'oh!

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

The Sweet. Julian's review of 1954 hits helped me to get the Papa Loves Mambo artist

 

 

Three in ten - 3

Hello, My Destiny, All Night Long (All Night)

 

Round 1: 21 (didn't get:

a-ha, 1982, Booker T. & The M.G.'s - I only know 'Green Onions' oops, Glenn Frey, Jason Donovan

)

Round 2: 27 (didn't get:

Steely Dan, The Temptations, 'Substitute'

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Hello, Dancing On The Ceiling, All Night Long (All Night)

 

 

Also only got

Perry Como

thanks to Julian's thread. I probably would've guessed the same as the contestant otherwise.

 

Happy to have got

The Sweet

, was a lucky guess really as I've never heard that song but thought the vocals sounded like them and the time period seemed right

It was fairly easy for me today (lots of old questions) :lol: but I struggled with the artist for 3 hits from the early 2000's. One I half-recognised, the other 2 I drew a blank - yet just checked my spreadsheet and Jumpin' and Song 4 Lovers both made my top 40. Oops!

I was poor today.

 

Round 1 : 21 Didn't get

Aha (I did the same as Jim and said A View To A Kill), the year, Christina Aguilera, Booker T, Jason Donovan

 

Round 2 : 15 Didn't get

Steeleye Span, the year, Kim Appleby, Sweet, Liberty X, Perry Como (I wasn't paying enough attention to Julian's thread)

 

 

3 in 10 : 3

Say You Say Me, Hello, Dancing On The Ceiling

 

 

 

Same score in both rounds today but getting there in very different ways - 2/3 bonuses in round 1 but 0/3 in round 2!

 

Round 1: 18 (missed

'The Living Daylights' (-3), 1982 (-3), 'Time Is Tight' (-6), 'The Heat Is On' (-3), Status Quo (-3), 'Rhythm Of The Rain' (-3)

)

Round 2: 18 (missed

'Haitian Divorce' (-3), The Temptations (-6), The Sweet (-6), Perry Como (-6)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'All Night Long (All Night)', 'Hello'

) - had

'Stuck On You'

on the tip of my tongue too but couldn't quite recall it aw

 

I was 12 years late on round 1, didn't recognise any of the named artists so that one was a complete stab in the dark :lol: Probably should have got

the a-ha song

but had no clue about the rest.

 

Also had no clue about the first 3 that I missed in round 2, for the last bonus I made the same incorrect guess of

Dean Martin

as the contestant did, whoops ~

I was trying to think of Julian's thread but I think I was confusing 'Papa Loves Mambo' with 'Mambo Italiano' whoops! Plus it did kind of sound like him...

 

 

Had a couple of lucky educated guesses today -

The Beautiful South, The Rolling Stones and Kim Appleby

were all answers I was unsure of.

Round 1: 27 - one year out

(also said 1975), didn't get Neil Diamond or Listen To Your Heart. Lucky guess with Sandie Shaw, I almost guessed Petula Clark as well

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get the second

Elton song. Lyin' Eyes was the only song to spend 3 weeks at a #23 peak, I wouldn't have known the title otherwise

 

 

Three in ten: 3

Animal Nitrate, Stay Together, Saturday Night

 

Round 1: 27 (didn't get:

Phil Lynott, Eurythmics, Neil Diamond

)

Round 2: 27 (didn't get:

1995, The Eagles, 'I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That'

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Trash, Beautiful Ones, Animal Nitrate)

 

 

I expect

Suedehead

would be pleased with today's 3-in-10 artist :lol:
