OK for me here too :cheer:

Wow, second win in a row. This one comes totally unexpected as I thought MJ songs will completely mess up my predictions.

 

P.S. I think I'm missing 100 points from the Overall Leaderboard (Best 50 Weeks Games Scores) :huh: :)

I thought that given the extreme nature of the week's events that all the Jackson songs would have been excluded from the chart run down as there is no way that anyone could take them into account and given their massive effect on the chart, the predictions move completely away from accuracy and judgement to complete luck. :unsure:

No you are not, due to the week you missed. But when it gets to the end of the year you will be very close if not ahead of me in 2nd.

Sorry, my mistake, I thought you were showing the best 25 scores (out of 26) after the first half of the year. :hithead:

An interesting point, but as there always is an element of luck with the predictions (i.e. when a record is released early or not onto iTunes) which has a subsequent impact on the predictions made, I think it is best to try and keep the Prediction Game as simple as possible.

 

The fact that Michael Jackson's death has had an impact on the results has meant that some have benefitted from it, but others have not. However, in this case none of the three Bonus Questions would have had a different result had Michael Jackson not passed away. That has certainly not been the case in the past with certain singles being released digitally earlier than planned (most recently the early release of When Love Takes Over) reaching the Top 10.

 

So I'd argue it gives the Game an element of luck to the predicting, making the Game a bit like playing Poker.

 

But for the record, excluding Michael Jackson related tracks, the results would have looked like this with a different winner:

Fair points. :)

 

Almost on the whole the predictions balance out, particularly for the predictions in the top 20/30; its just a tad frustrating getting the Shinedown prediction spot on (55) yet scoring zero, and then the Penate prediction 5 away (46), yet scoring a combined total of 4 points for both. A system of the higher of the prediction without MJ or with MJ may have balanced it out a bit more; however I respect your decision (i.e. to keep the Prediction Game as simple as possible) as final.
