September 28, 2024Sep 28 Wow, I really had no idea it was that high for Gold :o How close is it to Queen?
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Put no idea as feared saying something stupid and couldn't come to a concrete answer lol but between 2-6 million I was going over at one point. Nevermind.
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Well I know for a fact that Kylie is 56, I though Bey was around 42/43 and I thought Gaga was 35/36, hence I was a few years out! At least I got a point though :) I couldn't remember the name of the latest 1975 album so I was basing it on 'I Love It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful' or whatever it's called, even though I was pretty sure that wasn't their most recent :(
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Author LOL I can't believe I got the Ed Sheeran one wrong. Is my answer based on stand alone singles then? It was a question in a pub quiz and I put 90 in that one as some wild guess and they said it was 47 :lol: I was SO convinced I had got it correct based off of that :lol: I felt so bad for you because you seemed so confident but I've just checked the OCC and I think your pub quiz must have just been counting stand alone singles, sorry!
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Author Wow, I really had no idea it was that high for Gold :o How close is it to Queen? Around a million behind!
September 28, 2024Sep 28 I felt so bad for you because you seemed so confident but I've just checked the OCC and I think your pub quiz must have just been counting stand alone singles, sorry! Cocky Ego Spice strikes once again :lol: I wouldn't have felt bad for me, I would have laughed at me, you're obviously a much nicer person than me. :P I was only so confident due to that quiz, I'm not really an Ed Sheeran fan, certainly not enough to follow his track records, give me a Spice Girls / solo Spice related one I'm getting it EVERY time :lol:
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Author Q5) In what year did The Weeknd get his first charting single in the UK as lead artist? 2015 Another question where you had to get the correct answer to get any points. This one was a bit sneaky though because 'Earned It' charted at the very beginning of 2015 (the 10th January to be precise) so I can understand why a lot of people went for 2014. Results: goodelta - 2015 (10 points) HarryBorelli - 2015 (10 points) paulgilb - 2015 (10 points) CowTzy - 2015 (10 points) Dobbo - 2015 (10 points) Chez Wombat - 2015 (10 points) ~1^∞ - 2015 (10 points) Jordanlee1402 - 2015 (10 points) donnahjaneymack - 2015 (10 points) jimwatts - 2015 (10 points) Riser - 2015 (10 points) Jade - 2015 (10 points) No points: Scene - 2014 Mango - 2014 Iz - 2014 Roba. - 2013 chrissmith276 - 2014 conorw - 2014 rio309 - 2013 spiceboy - 2012 Bjork - 2014 PeteFromLeeds - 2014 awardinary - 2016 Mack. - 2012 n4yr - 2013 JulianT - 2012 danG - 2014 Ansel - 2013 vibe - 2013 No Sleeep - 2011 King Rollo - 2013 dandy* - 2014
September 28, 2024Sep 28 That was the question I felt most confident on but can see why people would go for 2014. I guess if anyone blocked out the existence of 'Earned It' and leapt straight to 'The Hills' or 'Can't Feel My Face' then that might've helped too :lol:
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Yeah should've stuck with when I knew he charted with his solo hits but could've sworn he had a solo hit debut in either 2013 or 2014 too but it wasn't oops.
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Author Q6) How many number 1 singles have there ever been in the UK? 1431 I put this question in thinking that there was no chance that anyone was going to get it - but congratulations to Mack. who managed to get it spot on. There were loads of other people who got very close to the correct answer so congrats to anyone who got any points in this question. Results: Mack. - 1431 (10 points) Jordanlee1402 - 1430 (9 points) Mango - 1430 (9 points) Jade - 1430 (9 points) n4yr - 1436 (6 points) danG - 1425 (5 points) jimwatts - 1425 (5 points) paulgilb - 1437 (5 points) ~1^∞ - 1423 (2 points) JulianT - 1441 (1 point) No points: Scene - 1400 goodelta - 1500 HarryBorelli - 890 Iz- 1345 Roba. - 2752 chrissmith276 - 1400 conorw- 1450 rio309 - 1188 spiceboy - 1399 CowTzy - 509 Bjork - 1200 Dobbo - 1350 Chez Wombat - 1585 PeteFromLeeds - 1052 awardinary - 1243 donnahjaneymack - 1351 Ansel - 2035 vibe - 1380 No Sleeep - 1319 King Rollo - 1270 Riser - 1400 dandy* - 1414
September 28, 2024Sep 28 ah almost there for me, wasn't sure what numbering system you were going to use so I went with my own that I could remember 1425 being the right answer to for that as I recently updated this thread
September 28, 2024Sep 28 All I was basing it off was that I knew the 1000th number one was in 2005 after 50-odd years of the charts. Pretty crazy to think we’re already nearly halfway to 2000!
September 28, 2024Sep 28 Author Q7) Kings and Queens by Ava Max and Waking Up In Vegas by Katy Perry both peaked at the same chart position in the UK. What position was it? 19 In hindsight, I should have probably guessed that a lot of people would get this question correct, but it's helped give a lot of you some extra points!
