Posted November 26Nov 26 For week 10 I've stepped in with a simple chart predictions quiz. I've done this format before, there's really not much to it - you just have to use your educated guesswork to answer the following 10 questions. A maximum of 100 points is available, and the scoring system for each question is shown below.These questions all relate to the official UK chart that will be announced on Friday 5th December. Therefore you may want to wait a few days to consider your answers, and you can use the First Look chart on Sunday to help you. But entry will close STRICTLY at 11am on Monday 1st December, well before the mids are announced. If you're the sort of person that's likely to forget then send me some answers ASAP and you can always send me amendments nearer Monday.Here are your questions. Remember these all related to the chart announced on Friday 5th December.1. Who will have the #1 single?(10 points for correct answer only)2. How many copies will the #1 single sell?(10 points for person with nearest answer; then 7, 4 and 1 point respectively for next three nearest, nothing for anyone else)3. Who will have the #1 album?(10 points for correct answer only)4. How many copies will the #1 album sell?(10 points for person with nearest answer; then 7, 4 and 1 point respectively for next three nearest, nothing for anyone else)5. How many Christmas songs will be in the Top 100 singles?(Christmas songs will be those indicated with a Christmas tree icon in the Top 100 singles post)(10 points for spot on; 8 points for 1 or 2 away; 6 points for 3 or 4 away; 4 points for 5 or 6 away; 2 points for 7 or 8 away; nothing for anything else)6. How many Greatest Hits collections will there be in the Top 100 albums?(There is scope for ambiguity here, but I will judge what is a Greatest Hits collection and my decision will be final)(10 points for spot on; 8 points for 1 or 2 away; 6 points for 3 or 4 away; 4 points for 5 or 6 away; 2 points for 7 or 8 away; nothing for anything else)7.

Thursday at 19:035 days Interesting questions - I'll have to give this some thought once this week's chart comes out!

As for singles, we'll find out tomorrow! A lot of it will just be guesswork so you might not do as badly as you think
Friday at 21:484 days Author Giving this another lil bump, now that Friday's chart has been revealed. Now is a good time to start getting some answers in!
Saturday at 00:133 days Author Note that I have made a slight amendment to the scoring for questions 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 as I felt the previous scoring system was a bit too strict! And note that I've also reworded question 8 to ask for the song rather than just the artist.
Saturday at 21:173 days Entered! Complete stabs in the dark on each one but I figured answering after the Sunday First Look would just confuse me as it's nonsense most of the time.Thanks for arranging Mango, a thinker for sure!
Saturday at 21:283 days Also sent some answers, most of these are total shots in the dark. Was thinking about waiting until First Look but decided against it
Sunday at 00:442 days Entered such pot luck no idea how the hell I'll do , could we finally have a different winner other than @gooddelta 🤣🤣

Yesterday at 13:041 day Pleased to see I'm not wildly different to the crowd on most of these questions. Half expected for example there to be a new album I wasn't aware of likely to challenge for #1
