I didn't think I'd get points for the albums sales and I got 7.

All right, all right, my heart bleeds for you! 😂

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)

I count 43 Christmas tree icons in the top 100 singles chart posted yesterday, so unless Dan has got that wrong, that's what we're going with!

And it's gooddelta and paulglib who both got this spot on for 10 points! Meanwhile plenty of people were close-ish and pick up a smaller number of points.

10. What position will Definitely Maybe be on the album chart?

(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)

Well it ended up higher than most people thought it would, settling in at #26 at the end of the week. No one gets 10 points and no one even gets 8 points! gooddelta, gasman and Spiceboy bag themselves 6 points though, for being either 3 or 4 away, and a handful of lower points are also awarded.

That's all for now, there are two more answers and sets of points to be revealed, but at this stage here is how the leaderboard looks...

... except for me 😅 if i get the next two bang on and everyone else gets them completely wrong I'll only climb two places!

Well i totally fudged up on question 6 so its looking like im almost guaranteed to finish bottom 3 as well 🤣

Damn I have to get two perfect answers and everyone else to get them wrong in order to get joint first place lol.

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)

I count 32 greatest hits collections in the Top 100 this week. No one got the answer spot on, but five people were 1 away, for which they receive 8 points. Lots of lower tier points too!

Back now but I'm a ickle bit tipsy so probably best not to do the last question now as I'll probably mess it up lol. Stay tuned for the final results tomorrow morning!

I've performed better than I expected so far. Though I'd have liked to avoid those pesky 0's.

OK let's get this wrapped up!

7. How many songs in the Top 100 singles chart will be on ACR?

(Songs on ACR will be those indicated in blue 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)

I counted and double counted 52 51 songs in the top 100 which are on ACR, and most people were close enough to score points but both conorw and Riser managed to get this spot on for the full 10 points!

Shouldn’t myself, ansel, rio and conor get the 10 points here since we got 52?

Have you made a typo somewhere you said you counted 52 but the people that guessed 51 got 10 points

As much as it pains me that @Spiceboy would get extra points and id likely lose some just double checking
