I didn't enter this sadly but my one main guess was 'Valerie' and apparently it would've been correct 🥲 Bye-bye one point x

  • It's ludicrous in retrospect that none of Linger, Zombie or Dreams made the top 10. I'm not sure I can think of a stronger set of 3 singles for an act who only ever achieved top 20.

  • That was one of the last ones I gave an answer for... and the one that @awardinary made me think of after his BJSC post about a shanty!

  • A huge thank you to everyone who took part! ❤️ If I manage to get everything entered and double-checked tonight, I'm hoping to start revealing the results sometime tomorrow.

'Love Is All Around' spent 15 consecutive weeks at Number 1 in 1994. According to Official Charts, Wet Wet Wet then decided to stop manufacturing copies of the single, deliberately preventing it from matching Bryan Adams’ record of 16 weeks at the top. The song still went on to sell 1.9 million copies, becoming the biggest-selling non-charity single of the 1990s in the UK.

Why do you think they did that, and would you have done the same in their position?

Yep, Wet x3 was one of the more straightforward ones so I'm not surprised no one put a different answer!

X = X

-An album named simply after the number of studio albums its artist had reached with its release.

Released in 2007, X was Kylie Minogue’s tenth studio album. Its title is the Roman numeral for 10, reflecting its position as the tenth studio album of her career. The title also marked a particularly significant return, as it was her first studio album following Body Language (2003).

XO

If this was referring to the 2010s single clue, Beyoncé’s 'XO'' was released in 2013, but it only peaked at No. 22 in the UK and has never reached the UK Top 5, so it doesn’t satisfy the clue.

Xzibit

Unfortunately, the clue was matched to the wrong letter, and the answer itself is incorrect as well. Xzibit’s two highest-charting UK singles are 'Hey Now (Mean Muggin)' (#9) and 'X' (#14), and neither is a duet with a female artist.

X but wrong clue!

This is an interesting one! You got X as the answer for X, but matched it to the clue 'A song that was once considered inappropriate for BBC airplay because of its pacifist message.'I can’t find any song actually titled 'X' that fits that clue, so it looks like you had the correct answer but matched it to the wrong clue.

X Gon Give It To Ya

This was submitted for the Vatican/excommunication clue, but I can’t find any connection between the song and the Vatican or any incident involving excommunication, so unfortunately it doesn’t fit the clue.

It took me until this quiz to realise that Kylie named her album X because it was her tenth album lol how had I never made that connection before? I'm such a flop fan!

Released by Spanish duo Baccara in 1977, Yes Sir, I Can Boogie became a major international hit and reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart.

More than four decades later, the song became an unofficial anthem of the Scotland national football team and its supporters. Its association with the team grew particularly strong in 2020, when footage of the players singing it in the dressing room went viral after Scotland qualified for the European Championship. The renewed popularity even sent the song back into the UK charts, 43 years after its original success.

Yma o Hyd – Dafydd Iwan

This is a fully correct alternative answer. The song became closely associated with the Wales national football team during their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign. Dafydd Iwan performed it at matches, and the players joined him in singing it after Wales qualified. The Football Association of Wales later described the song as having become synonymous with the Welsh national teams, and a new version was made the official Wales song for the 2022 World Cup. So it fully fits the clue.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

The song is one of the best-known football anthems in the world, but its famous associations are with football clubs, particularly Liverpool and Celtic, rather than with a national football team, which is the specific condition in the clue.

Yep there's my other silly mistake 😭😭

I saw "football", "unofficial anthem" and the letter "Y" and my mind jumped straight to 'You'll Never Walk Alone", completely bypassing the "national" bit.

It was nice to briefly be back at the (joint) top again before more carelessness booted me back down lol

Wish you hadn’t made the link here too 🤭

X was one I realised after I’d sent them in!

Me too I think it was one I messaged to change my answer for!

I definitely read the national part but would never have thought of that song and just had to hope You'll Never Walk Alone was adopted by someone like the Cayman Islands or something.

YESSS!!! 'You'll Never Walk Alone' came to me straightaway but I'm so glad I re-read the question and changed my answer to 'Yes Sir I Can Boogie'. Unlucky to the people that didn't!

oh nooooooooo not Y!!!! Hope this doesn’t cost me a top 10 place! 😭

well seeing as you’re about 10 points ahead of 11th, I think it’s fair to say it won’t kink
