October 23, 20231 yr Intrigued to see how this plays out! I feel most confident about my first answer here so fully expecting it to go downhill quickly :P
October 23, 20231 yr Author Question One Name an 10 week UK #1 single pSY3i5XHHXo Answers That Have Points Dave & Central Cee - Sprinter: Ansel, Chez Wombat, chrissmith276, Cow-aki, jimwatts, King Rollo, LewisGT, LiamSime, Mangø, PeteFromLeeds, rio309, xajnipi (12 Points) Rihanna - Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z): EliKillz, Jade, Julian T, Mack, Math!, Riser, Roba, I Am Kenough, Sarah (9 Points) Miley Cyrus - Flowers: Bjork, Danæ, Dan17F1, Dobbo, ~1^∞, !!! (6 Points) No Points Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You: roboplop (0 Points) Harry Styles - As It Was: PedroNL25 (0 Points) The official 2023 song of the summer for the UK, 'Sprinter' by UK rappers Dave & Central Cee takes the crown for question one. The song debuted straight in at #1 back in June selling over 108,000 units in its first week after release. The mammoth has gone onto become platinum in the UK and still remains in the UK top 20 singles chart as I post this! Rihanna & Jay-Z's 2007 classic 'Umbrella' proved to be the 2nd most popular answer. Miley Cyrus's kind of gets her 'Flowers' as she takes joint 3rd place with her massive UK chart topper. Despite staying at the top of the UK singles chart for 10 weeks in 2022, Harry Styles' 'As It Was' fails to get mentioned in more than one participant's set of answers and ends up scoring 0 points. Bryan Adam's hugely overrated 16 week #1 single '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You' also gets no points, as you have probably guessed it didn't spend 10 weeks at #1 either.
October 23, 20231 yr Nate I sent you answers - did you not get them? Edit - seems you did! Was worried as wasn’t in the participants list! :) Edited October 23, 20231 yr by JulianT
October 23, 20231 yr Indeed - was hoping the most reent would bag the points there! Quite surprised at the high score for Umbrella - must be particularly memorable for being there 10 weeks.
October 23, 20231 yr Author Question Two Name a song from the Barbie Soundtrack that did not chart in the UK top 100 singles chart (excluding songs from the deluxe edition) JVhqadzCgwE Answers That Have Points PinkPantheress - Angel: Ansel, Dan17F1, EliKillz, Jade, jimwatts, Math!, LewisGT, LiamSime, Roba, Sarah, !!!

Aldo Ranks): chrissmith276, Danæ, Dobbo, PedroNL25, King Rollo, Mangø, PeteFromLeeds, Riser, ~1^∞ (9 Points) HAIM - Home Chez Wombat, xajnipi (2 Points) Tame Impala - Journey Into The Real World Julian T, roboplop (2 Points) No Points Ava Max - Choose Your Fighter Bjork (0 Points) FIFTY FIFTY - Barbie Dreams (feat. Kaliii) Cow-aki (0 Points) Khalid - Silver Platter Mack (0 Points) Matchbox 20 - Push I Am Kenough (0 Points) Ryan Gosling - I'm Just Ken rio309 (0 Points) The Barbie soundtrack made a huge impact on the UK charts this summer, the soundtrack has two UK #1 singles and several other UK top 100 hits. The most popular answer here proved to be PinkPantheress' 'Angel' which is probably best known for its breakdown played by a fiddle. Edited October 23, 20231 yr by Y'all Starlight
October 23, 20231 yr Indeed - was hoping the most reent would bag the points there! Quite surprised at the high score for Umbrella - must be particularly memorable for being there 10 weeks. Memorable also for raining most weeks it was on top :P
October 23, 20231 yr Author Question Three Name a UK #1 album that spent one week in the UK albums top 100 fz3Y2O-m5-w Answers That Have Points The Lottery Winners - Anxiety Replacement Therapy Ansel, Chez Wombat, chrissmith276, Cow-aki, Dan17F1, Danæ, Dobbo, I Am Kenough, jimwatts, Julian T, King Rollo, LewisGT, LiamSime, Mack, Mangø, Math!, Riser, Roba, xajnipi,~1^∞, !!! (21 Points) Ben Howard - Collections From The Whiteout Bjork, Jade, PeteFromLeeds (3 Points) No Points Ed Sheeran - - Sarah (0 Points) Enter Shikari - A Kiss For The Whole World EliKillz (0 Points) The Vamps - Cherry Blossom roboplop (0 Points) The Vamps - TBA rio309 (0 Points) You Me At Six - Suckapunch PedroNL25 (0 Points) The Lottery Winners claimed their 1st UK #1 album earlier this year, beating the likes of Nines, The National and Jessie Ware to get the crown. The album also broke records as it dropped out of the albums top 200 by its 2nd week, 'Anxiety Replacement Therapy' is also the most popular answer for this question with Ben Howard's 2021 album 'Collections From The Whiteout' being the only other answer to get points from this category. The Vamps get two answers mentioning them but none of their albums have in fact left the top 100 after a week yet.
October 23, 20231 yr Phew! I almost went with Enter Shikari but went with Lottery Winners given the drop out of the Top 200!
October 23, 20231 yr Author Question Four Name a song by PinkPantheress that charted between the #41-#100 positions inclusive on the UK singles chart 4OG58_nGU88 Answers That Have Points Where You Are (feat. Willow) Chez Wombat, Cow-aki, Dobbo, EliKillz, King Rollo, Liam Sime, PedroNL25, Roba, roboplop, xajnipi (10 Points) Mosquito Ansel, Bjork, chrissmith276, Jade, jimwatts, Julian T, LewisGT, Mangø, Math!

The single peaked at #58 in May last year and quickly fell off of the charts. Her most recent hit 'Mosquito' was also a very popular answer alongside one of her breakout hits 'Break It Off'. Anyone who knows the UK charts quite well would probably be able to tell you which two of the 0 points answers charted in the UK top 40....
October 23, 20231 yr Happy with my 9 points on that one! Really wasn't sure so just went with recent!
October 23, 20231 yr Author Question Five Name a UK top 5 album released under Jay-Z's label Roc Nation (Roc Nation must be credited as the album/mixtape/EP's label/co-label) RM7lw0Ovzq0 Answers That Have Points Jay-Z 4:44 Ansel, Danæ, EliKillz, LewisGT, LiamSime, Math!, !!! (7 Points) Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3 Dobbo, Julian T, Mack, Mangø, PeteFromLeeds, Riser (6 Points) Rita Ora - Ora Chrissmith276, Cow-aki, Dan17F1, PedroNL25, Sarah, ~1^∞ (6 Points) Rihanna - Anti Bjork, Chez Wombat, Jade, Roba (4 Points) Jay-Z - Magna Carta Holy Grail I Am Kenough, jimwatts, King Rollo (3 Points) Jay-Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne roboplop, xajnipi (2 Points) No Points Gunna - A Gift And A Curse rio309 (0 Points) Despite Roc Nation being best known for Jay-Z's music there have been a lot of notable releases under the label. One of those is Rita Ora's Ora which comes second, joint with Jay-Z's 'The Blueprint 3' which featured hits like 'Run This Town' and 'Empire State Of Mind'. Although it wasn't a top 5 album Rihanna's 'Anti' also gets quite a few nods. The only answer that gets no points is Gunna's horrendously bad recent album 'A Gift And A Curse' which was not in fact a top 5 album or released under Roc Nation.
October 23, 20231 yr Ah - I went with the opposite of recent! That might bite me on the Travis Scott question as well...
October 23, 20231 yr Wow! Maximum points for every question so far! Hope it doesn’t go downhill in the latter part of the questions lol
