188. BJSC - ENNEA BALTHAZARD, Dyana - FADE BALTHAZARD is a Swiss-born, London-based musician, producer and DJ whose sound draws heavily from Soul, Jazz, Funk, Disco and 70s/80s Pop, with influences ranging from Michael Jackson and Phil Collins to Giorgio Moroder and Quincy Jones. Dyana is a Romanian-born, UK-based singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. Music has been part of her life from an early age, her father is a drummer and she discovered the piano as a child. She moved to London in 2021 to study music and pursue her career as an artist. Since releasing her first single in 2019, she has developed an alt-pop sound centred around emotion, symbolism and storytelling. The two artists came together for FADE, a sleek and atmospheric collaboration released on BALTHAZARD's 2025 project The Sand & The Sea. The song combines his polished electronic production with Dyana's intimate vocals, creating a dreamy, soulful track with a distinctly late-night feel. FADE is the sixth track on the seven-song project and runs for 3:38.

fourth sounds the most competative for my taste 😄 (weird genius). But I also like the first and third ❤️

I thought this was ending tomorrow, so when I came to look again at this thread and saw that the deadline was actually tonight, I panicked a little haha. Sorry I haven’t been particularly active, I haven’t even been home for my own quiz presentation, and I only got back tonight. I’ll try to get my answers in by tomorrow.

It’s interesting that I listened to this song by Ana Brun before I sent one of her songs to the Pop contest, and I honestly wouldn’t have thought that this can be candidate for the win, but it’s not like I’m disputing it. I'm just still new.

I was lucky enough to already have one of the artists on my playlist. Now I’m just wondering whether I should replace the audio I submitted with the official video. Does the video matter?

Wow @jimwatts !! Congratulations for another first place! ❤️

Great idea

Thanks! I only saw this last night, so I hadn’t noticed it earlier with everything going on with the UK Charts quiz and some other stuff in my personal life. I’ll have to read through the theme again.

I’m not sure what I was expecting from this contest considering that guitar, especially electric guitar, is my favourite instrument, but somehow I’m a bit bored so far...

If I’m seeing this right, three countries I voted for didn’t make it through: Pestolia, Kluminican R. and Taahino

where is angry emoji i dont wanna cry

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

If I get drunk by the time you call my name, don’t ban me afterwards

My logic is that they’d feel sorry for me if they tortured someone who only qualifies once in a blue moon. 😭

I'm out

Omg this is stresssfullll 🙈

I was kind of trying to cover different areas with the questions, so that, you know, someone might know a question about football, someone else might know one about a video game, a movie, and so on xD

Ah, I wasn’t aware of that. I think it’s up to @PeteFromLeeds now to decide how to allocate the points, since they’re converted after each quiz and then added to the scores from the other quizzes.

I didn’t see this earlier. Can someone explain to me what this is?

An artist whose UK chart appearances all trace back to a career beyond music. Although Zendaya has released music as a solo artist, none of her solo releases have entered the main UK Singles Chart. Her UK chart appearances have instead come from songs connected to her acting career: Rewrite the Stars and The Greatest Show from The Greatest Showman, and Elliot’s Song from Euphoria. Her highest-charting entry is Rewrite the Stars with Zac Efron, which peaked at #16 in the UK. Zac Efron This is a correct answer. His UK chart appearances all come from songs connected to his acting career, particularly films in which he appeared. So every one of his UK chart appearances can ultimately be traced back to a career beyond music. Zig & Zag I hadn’t considered this answer, but it fits the clue. Zig & Zag were primarily television characters rather than musicians, and their music career grew out of their popularity on television. They had two UK charting singles, 'Them Girls Them Girls' (#5) and 'Hands Up! Hands Up!' (#21), so their UK chart appearances can indeed be traced back to a career outside music. Another loophole successfully found. Zayn Malik His UK chart appearances come directly from his music career, first as a member of One Direction and later as a solo artist. His solo debut Pillowtalk, for example, reached #1 in the UK. Since his chart history doesn’t trace back to a career outside music, he doesn’t fit the clue. So .... that means we have two winners and two silver medallists! Congratulations!!!! @chrissmith276 @gooddelta @Jade @gasman449 @dandy* Thank you so much to everyone who took part in the first quiz of this quiz season, and also the first one I’ve ever hosted! I hope I wasn’t too strict in the end and, most importantly, that you had fun. ❤️ If everything goes according to plan, @Mangø should be opening the next quiz on the UK Chart forum on Monday, so I hope to see you all there too! I also hope I haven’t made any mistakes along the way. I’ve barely been at home at all this week and was constantly short on time, so I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked Thanks again for playing ❤️
