Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

Bruno Mars, Whitney Houston & George Michael, BWitched

 

Round 2 : 21 Didn't get

The year, Jim Gilstrap, Rezillos, Swinging Blue Jeans

 

 

3 in 10 : 1

Northern Star

 

27 & 24, 2nd round more difficult as per usual

3 in 10 pretty easy

Round 1: 36 - didn't get the first question only,

Barry Manilow

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

Jim Gilstrap (who he)

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

Goin' Down, I Turn To You, Never Be The Same Again

- I never feel comfortable using collabs in these, particularly as Ken specified solo hits this time, but the ones the contestant said were accepted. I did almost have a third non-collab, but got the title slightly wrong:

Over The Horizon rather than On The Horizon

 

From yesterday:

 

Round 1: 27 (missed

Barry Manilow (-3), 'Our Lips Are Sealed' (-3), 'If I Told You That' (-3), B*Witched (-3)

)

Round 2: 12 (missed

1996 (-3), Roxette (-3), Jim Gilstrap (-6), The Rezillos (-3), Republica (-3), 'You're No Good' (-6), Rick Astley (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Carolyna', 'Never Be The Same Again'

)

 

Really nice bonus questions in round 1 (argh at that random cover of

'In The Summertime'

though) but a few tough normal questions, including question 1 oops. Round 2 started well but I was 1 year early for the year question and then had basically no clue for the rest, I maybe could have guessed

Roxette

but nevermind x

 

Probably should have got the 3 in 10 but my mind was still stuck on

'I Want You Back' from the other day, which is of course the wrong Mel

. An old BJSC is the culprit for me somehow recalling a #49 hit over all of this artist's other top 10s :kink:

I fully forgot 'I Turn To You' existed honestly, and I was trying to recall the Matt Cardle collab too but couldn't remember its title in time

.

Actually only got 30 on Friday's Round 2 as I also didn't get

Rick Astley

 

 

Round 1: 36 - didn't get

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Kiss From A Rose, Killer, My Vision)

 

 

Got the second year due to handily looking through the OCC archives for the first half of that decade over the weekend :lol:

 

Movie questions are not my thing, justice for 60s hits x

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

Marti Webb, Gallagher & Lyle

 

Round 2 : 27 Didn't get

3 in 10 : 3

Crazy, Kiss From A Rose, Killer

 

Round 1: 21 (missed

2005 (-3), Tell Me On A Sunday (-6), Genesis (-3), Gallagher & Lyle (-3), Savage Garden (-3)

)

Round 2: 21 (missed

Go West (-3), 1983 (-3), The World Is Not Enough (-3), Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (-6), 'Love Games' (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Crazy', 'Killer'

) -

can I count 'Killer' twice? :teresa: oops though 'Kiss From A Rose' totally didn't come to mind at all somehow!

 

 

1 year late then 4 years late -

the first year was an annoying miss because like Rollo I was helped out by 'Shiver' being at the #1 album session yesterday but unfortunately that only narrowed it down to 2 years and I guessed wrong oops!

 

 

A couple of lucky educated guesses here -

The Sundays was a total guess just based on the name of the bonus category, and I didn't know Against All Odds was a film lol but just identified the song I guess though I wasn't certain even about that

.

I did really badly on the second set although that was partly because the contestant was so quick. I would have done better if I'd had time to think!

 

Got the three in ten very quickly

See Emily Play, Arnold Layne and Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)

 

got 24 and 24, crazy that the 2nd guy got 39

 

regarding the 3 in 10 today,

would they had accepted Proper Education? Always thought it was Eric Prudz vs Pink Floyd but it's actually vs. Floyd, so not sure...

wow Pop congrats! You should apply and take part!!!

 

you even got the year in R2?

cos that was super tricky, cos they had Sugababes-Too Lost, which was a #10 debut single in 2003

but they had it for 2004 when it was still in the charts but well past its peak, my answer was 03 rather than 04

Scissor Sisters, That topped my chart in early 2004 and then I went big on them for the whole year. I'd never have got it from Sugababes alone :lol:
