When is it doing the best of competition? Next week?

I think it begins tomorrow!

It’s usually all this week so mustn’t have had as many big scorers this year!

 

15/39 and 21/39 in ydays one!

It’s usually all this week so mustn’t have had as many big scorers this year!

There you go Jade it’s like a calling for you to qualify for next years 😀

I'm liking the optimism B-)

 

I think my recent inconsistency would spook me too much at the moment, this month I've ranged from an all-time low of 9 to 36(+3, indeed qualification) - so would be gutted if it was a former kind of day :kink: I think I need at least a few more years of swotting up on TOTP haha, there's still a lot of gaps to fill in from my pre-1997 existence *_*

Round 1 : 39 :cheer:

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

Erica Badu, Maroon 5

 

 

Happy to get my second 39! I only got the

Walker Brothers

because I thought it sounded like them.

 

I got 3 songs for the 3 in 10.

30, 27 today, they got me with the

Maps

question, my answer was the same as the lady

top 3 was almost too easy

crazy how well the lady did today in the main questions and then how badly he did in the 3 in 10

Round 1 : 39 :cheer:

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

Erica Badu, Maroon 5

Well done Rollo! I was expecting the

Walker Brothers

song to be something newer for some reason.

That’s how I learned about music before my lifetime lol watching the TOTP repeats for the past decade starting in 1976 but really loving it from 1980 especially as newer and modern sounds we know today had their origins!

Champions league started today!

Scoring is now 1 point for Q1, and so on up to 10 points for Q10 in each round. These were really hard!

 

Round 1: 20 - didn't get

The Look (3), Cavatina (5), Bill Medley (8), Bourgeois Tag (9), Daisy Chainsaw (10)

 

 

Round 2: 21 - didn't get

1982 (4), Matt Monro (5), Voice Of The Beehive (7), Photograph - ran out of time (8), Suzi Quatro (10)

 

 

There isn't a three in ten at this stage.

Champions League Day 1:

 

Round 1: 3 (got: Q1+2) oh dear :lol: probably should've got

Iris Williams

as that was on a 70s TOTP not too long ago

Round 2: 17 (got: Q1+2+6+8) - double figures, I'll take it! thank you

Now 49

for allowing me to get the 6 pointer.

 

Thought it would be easier to list what I did get. :D well and truly humbled by my first Champions League attempt!

 

Felt slightly more validated helping out my colleagues with a Christmas music quiz just now :lol:

Round 1 : 13 - I got questions 1,3 and 9 correct

Round 2 : 12 - I got questions 1,2,4 and 5 correct

 

I'm annoyed I couldn't think of the

Barry Biggs song

in round 2. That would have boosted my score for that round.

did pretty well on the 1st one, but then 2nd was too 70s, there were almost no questions about post 1990 music

Getting the (easy-peasy) Daisy Chainsaw question and the Barry Biggs one helped to boost my scores

Just had a go at todays, got 36 round 1 questions 2, 7, 10 wrong, and 41 round 2, 6 and 8 wrong. Oooo get me. :lol:
