We have had our extended summer break but we're back! Coming soon...

I think it might do.

I think it saves your edits as draft until you publish a post, so it would have been working off your old draft with the links still visible when you went in to update the voter list, and as it wasn't you who changed the links but Wardy, it overrided Wardy's edit with your old saved version when you updated the voter list. That spiel made more sense in my head, but it's happened before to me as well, where it has undone editing work I have done.

Very well done to Spiceboy and Dandy, I'm always rubbish with the bonuses and didn't think I'd really got number 10 but was confident on the rest, so happy with my performance overall! Thanks for another entertaining quiz Mango.

16 took me SO long but I was delighted when it came to me. The way I got it was the strike but U Sure Do didn't fit so figured it must be about the 10 pins, and came to Perfect 10 (although this isn't a bowling term exactly). Then I had to reverse engineer how Beautiful South fit, but I realised about penguins living in the south. It isn't exactly say what you see unless you have that penguin knowledge though.

I definitely wasn't sold on my answer though as cutting the balloons down at a party is certainly a strange way to express not feeling like dancing!

Whoever got that needs more than 2 points as I'd have never guessed that balloon was originally a two, or that they had spice with them, I thought it was pan pipes???

Took me a fair while to get Roxette, as was going through various Heartbeat type songs (Nick Berry? thought maybe they were large stolen berries! or Steps makes sense as the creatures have clearly walked to where they are) but then I realised it was supposed to be a set of rocks. I forgot about that Manics song although could see it was supposed to be them so worked my way through their singles.

It really was. Just as good as the actual answer, glad it got a bonus. I only remembered about the II on the end of the Kiss song due to there being the pair of them!

Love Crystal Waters, as those waters really are. A GOATed answer.

Sadeness is one of those very striking and unique No.1 singles, it's great that a song like that could get to the top, I loved the 90s for this sound being so popular. I don't love or dislike Innuendo but it was definitely a strong late career Queen single.

Thanks Jay, completely didn't remember about the existence of that! I wonder why I only bought the standard edition CD at the time as usually I used to buy deluxe everything!

Mirrors is fine, probably midtable for me, love the top two left though!

Wow, that's a quick turnaround, what's with the live tracks from earlier eras? Looking forward to the new songs and alternate versions!

Calvin Harris & Sam Smith - Promises (I always loved this one, a great single from both artists and a deserved No.1 hit) Darin feat. Kat DeLuna - Breathing Your Love (RedOne... Kat DeLuna ... and Darin! This should have been a hit, and came a year before both JLS and the very similar Enrique/Ciara collab, the trendsetters this trio were... it has also reminded me what a great track Kat's Run The Show was) Calvin Harris - Summer (another strong one with Calvin's vocals, reminds me of the first summer I was in the job I've been in ever since) Roosevelt - Take Me Back (Midnight Version) (quite a brave song to send with really good production) Damien Rice - Woman Like a Man (wouldn't say I loved this but I appreciate the artistry and guitar work) Sam Fender - Saturday (Sam is hit and miss for me, but I loved the most recent album, this one is ok) HRVY - 1 Day 2 Nights (bit of a Head and Heart vibe to this, it's not bad) Tom Grennan - Before You (pretty decent song, which I didn't know although his voice isn't my favourite) Gary Numan - I Die: You Die (I didn't get too much from this) Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me (always found the video very funny, but find the vocal on this a bit of a challenge to get through and the rest of the song isn't too exciting for me) Mackenzy Mackay - London (it's like the one unpopular rapped song that Ed Sheeran still puts on every album, apologies)

Oh I always had it right in my head! Same with Zan-MAH-tuh-knee.

Adele - Rolling in the Deep (an incredible song from day 1 through to now - did the job of setting up one of the biggest albums of all-time, this is a final quality submission) Robyn - Hang With Me (a beautiful song and production with fragility to Robyn's vocal, Body Talk is one of the greatest projects any pop artist has ever done) Jessie Ware - If You're Never Gonna Move (great one to send as on name alone Jessie is not one of the bigger acts in this category, but there's just no denying a banger like this) Leona Lewis - Come Alive (forgot how much I enjoyed Leona's dubstep diversion on this album, and the vocals were, as always, excellent) Kate Bush - The Man With the Child in His Eyes (a beautiful vocal, and a special song) Agnes - EGO (great track as ever from Agnes from another good album from her, I saw her do this live earlier in the year when she spoilt us with a nine song gig at her headline show) Milica Pavlović - Crna jutra (Balkan S&M) (I really enjoyed this again from Milica, it gives me RedOne gone Balkan vibes) Dido - Take My Hand (nice recent winner of Bop Idol, and was always a highlight album track on No Angel, Jurgen Vries charted with a solid trance cover of it in 2004) Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Me and My Imagination (not a major fave but a jolly enough single from Sophie from an amazing album, would love to see some of its album tracks at some point) MARINA - Froot (this always comes into my head but isn't a great favourite, nor was the parent album, although I saw Marina live in this era and it was fun live) Zara Larsson - Ain't My Fault (I don't really mind this, although recent ranks and rates on the site are making me realise that songs with prominent horn style riffs aren't always my favourite)

Yes, of an 80s band called My Mine, and then Master Blaster did a typical Clubland era version of it in 2003. Maybe that version inspired Bananarama or their team to pick it up.

Bananarama - Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango) (A gem from the band's duo days, it's a cover of an 80s Italo disco track but this is such a slick version, great dance pop 00s sound) Texas - I Don't Want a Lover (a late 80s classic and the only big Texas hit before their imperial phase in the late 90s, I have a lot of time for this rockier sound from them) iamamiwhoami - chasing kites (really lovely production on this, shimmering Scandi electro-pop) Fontaines D.C. - Jackie Down the Line (liked this one and didn't know it, there's still a big Fontaines fave of mine I hope to see which I expect could top the group for me!) Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again (very good, more modern song from them, they've still got it) Sade - Your Love is King (another smooth and soulful classic) New Order - Age of Consent (I like the guitar riff going through this) Ultravox - The Voice (solid track with good vocals from Midge) Years & Years - All For You (had forgotten about this one, it's not really a favourite but has a good chorus) Vengaboys - 1999 (I Wanna Go Back) (I have heard this before, it's a fun choice of song for Vengaboys to cover as a modern release for thematic reasons, but as it doesn't really change much it does come across a bit karaoke) M83 - Kim & Jessie (production sounded quite decent with some of those M83 hallmarks but otherwise it went over my head a little unfortunately, I didn't dislike it though) Another good week for the groups! I wouldn't be against hearing any of these again.

Ooh the templates and art direction, love it. Need to think about what to send...

My No.1 song of 2000, Absolutely Everybody.

Good time for her to release, won’t take her much to get past 27k to get No.1, whatever it sounds like.

The old BuzzJack way. We used to see the bottom of so many charts/rates and not the interesting bits! I will take part in this, nice idea, picking the one 11 is the hard part but I know what I’m giving it to.

Wow. Milica has come to compete again, great entry. It’s anybody’s guess who goes this time I think.
