Final three questions will be revealed tomorrow evening.
September 3, 2024Sep 3 Happy to be a point off the lead after that. I think Q11 could have an even higher scoring correct answer or two!
September 3, 2024Sep 3 Oh dear, as a previous winner of a quiz season, this one really has not started well for me :lol:
September 3, 2024Sep 3 I'm glad to get two more pointless answers there but not having much luck on the questions with only a few possible answers.
September 3, 2024Sep 3 Oops, I misremembered One Direction as the group that did well in the Diana Vickers / Alexandre Burke year of X Factor, 2008. (I don't know any One Direction album release dates so was working it out on the basis they'd have released their debut album the year after X Factor, whose dates I do remember quite well. 2008 + 1 gave me my answer of 2009). But that was of course JLS. Schoolboy error.
September 4, 2024Sep 4 except one Pointless, the rest is like if I were playing Family Fortunes, always get the more popular answer ;D if I choose the most obvious answer, everybody else does, if I go for. weird one, everybody does, if I go for more recent, everybody does, when I go for oldest, everybody does :D

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. :( Sorry if I misinterpreted the question, but Sade isn't a band right?
September 4, 2024Sep 4 Sorry if I misinterpreted the question, but Sade isn't a band right? Sade is a band, whose lead singer is Sade Adu.
September 4, 2024Sep 4 Sorry if I misinterpreted the question, but Sade isn't a band right? I think she’s both a solo and part of the band Sade. :D

Every correct answer was given for this question, including the latest artist to have achieved this feat, Sabrina Carpenter, who surprisingly was a pointless answer for Dobbo, so well done to him for playing Family Fortunes with this question! :lol: Two questions to go concerning two UK rappers who have impacted the UK charts for many years, lets see what it all comes down to at the end...
September 4, 2024Sep 4 Damn it I thought I was going to climb big time with that one only having 3 points lol and I climbed 2 places... :lol:
September 4, 2024Sep 4 I did think of The Shadows for that question but wasn't sure if you would allow them. The Shadows did replace Cliff Richard and The Shadows at number 1.
