Many found pointless answers for this one, and there were many unanswered albums that would have been a correct pointless answer too. Unfortunately I had to award maximum points for three incorrect answers. jojo89 continues to lead, with Mangø propping up the leaderboard currently. Chappell Roan is the subject of the next question, and there are going to be some unhappy faces when the results are announced there. :(
September 2, 2024Sep 2 My Kings of the Wild Frontier stanning being useful for something :cheeseblock:
September 2, 2024Sep 2 I almost went with 'Everything Must Go', but that could have gone worse. Would be funny if no one went for #1 on the next question!
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Damn it my very first thought was Sgt Peppers as it was the first winner of that award but figured others would go for it!! My strategies are not doing me any good this time.
September 2, 2024Sep 2 I was annoyed about Q1 as the three pointless answers were 3 of the 5 on my shortlist along with Charli and Post Malone, so I picked the worst option. Gone well since then. But will fall off a cliff later as there were two questions I didn't know any answers to (and I try not to Google on these quizzes)
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Wow was convinced Fairground was going to be a pointless answer :no: I think if this question had come up on the BBC TV show it definitely would have been. But I figured people would be deliberately aiming for obscurities like that on Buzzjack so the strategy is a bit different. As an aside, how did that album win that award :o

Very sorry to reveal we have a total of 9 incorrect answers given to this question. Using a service such as Polyhex reveals that Chappell Roan's UK chart runs (up until the week this quiz started) look like this; 20/04/2024 Chappell Roan Good Luck Babe 2 64-33-21-18-22-20-18-20-16-16-13-7-4-5-6-3-{2}-3-3-2->20 15/06/2024 Chappell Roan Hot To Go 10 53-46-39-33-26-24-27-19-23-15-12-{10}->12 15/06/2024 Chappell Roan Red Wine Supernova 31 68-51-46-40-40-41-48-39-38-32-{31}-31->12 Therefore, there are still quite a few chart positions within the Top 40 that she has not achieved yet and that made for a variety of answers given, along with five pointless answers, so well done to those participants. jojo89 continues to maintain his lead, and its looking much tighter toward the bottom half of the scoreboard now. BRAT anyone? :o
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Looks like I did the most common thing of starting from #40, and working up the positions whilst checking Polyhex :lol: Should've continued that little bit further.
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Oh i think I misunderstood that question :lol: I thought it was just peak positions so anything other than her 3 top 40 placings!
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Thank goodness this counts as before the official chart position reveal last Friday :lol: Well at least I'm not bottom like i was in FF last week atm.
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Was a complete guess on my part I had no idea at all lol. Was debating between 37, 38 and 39 so went for the middle one!
September 2, 2024Sep 2 We covered all the correct answers between us :magic: What's most impressive is how many new peak positions those songs have had - for the whole Top 100 it's 10 for 'Good Luck, Babe!', 12 for 'HOT TO GO!' and 13 for 'Red Wine Supernova' - I've found only 13 songs which had 14 or more, but those all peaked at #13 or higher, so was hoping for the latter to join them with a peak in the low Top 30, but it seems destined not to be now!

I wanted to see what people would put for this as it is one of the most topical albums of 2024, so a few different answers were given, but surprisingly it was King Rollo who spotted a pointless answer by naming producer Skream as one of the credited named on the remix of Von dutch. Sadly for Roba., Katy Perry was not a correct answer on this occasion. jojo89 is just about holding on, but he's very close to those behind him, so will they overtake him on the next question which is all about... the Pet Shop Boys!
September 2, 2024Sep 2 I think I'm just dumb at this point. I couldn't even comprehend the questions properly. :drama:
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Yeah I've followed the Charli stuff here and there but clearly not clued on the remix part of the question. Only heard the Lorde and Billie remixes lol. Think I had been reading Katy and being on a remix soon rather than already has been haha. Oh well.
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Most of my answers were picked by too many others so I'm glad to get a pointless answer for that one. :)
September 2, 2024Sep 2 Recovered to joint 4th from 24th after Q2. I've a feeling the next question could set me rapidly downhill again though...

There are no pointless questions to reveal here, and no change at the top of the scoreboard. I will look to reveal the remaining answers for the rest of this quiz in the next day or two depending on time.
