I was actually thinking of re-emerging to be fair (a song came to me on Sunday but realised I was too late for the current one!) I may well do my usual trick of entering in January and then disappearing for most of the rest of the year (Oh and welcome Spiceland!)

Here were my votes this time round: 1 New Order - Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix) 2 Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under 3 Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (Schizo Mix) 4 Fontaines D.C. - In ár gCroíthe go deo (Orbital Remix) 5 Adele - Hometown Glory (High Contrast Remix) 6 Bananarama - Now or Never 7 Disclosure feat. Sam Smith - Omen 8 Darin - Give Me Tonight 9 Kate Bush - The Big Sky (Meteorological Mix) 10 Texas - Mr Haze (GBX & Paul Keenan Remix) 11 MARINA - Radioactive 12 Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Wuh Oh - Hypnotized 13 Zara Larsson & Robyn - Puss Puss (Girls Trip) So 'happy' with the eliminations as much as I can be! The Zara song was very much not my thing, and whilst I'm generally quite inclined towards Texas that entry didn't grab me and I was always going to err on the side of Fontaines when it came to choosing between them.

My votes are also in. I must admit, I had completely forgotten a) that Omen existed, and b) that I used to call it the 'singing toilet song' because of the line 'you were waiting, I was vacant' - certainly unlocked a memory there!

I think that's one of the big differences between Pointless and Family Fortunes on the site - if you guess 10 correct answers in Pointless you'll never be too far off everyone else given how spread out the scores are, but if you're a little bit off the money with Family Fortunes you can end up with nothing! Both games definitely require different skills to do well.

Those results should spread out the leaderboard a bit! I'll update that tomorrow. Congrats Spiceboy and thanks Matto for hosting! Week 10 will be in The Lounge and will I believe be hosted by @Jayd0n 👍

Boo at 'Buzzjack' being the top-scoring answer there, the prompt was literally to 'name anything'!

Glad I got the top result for that one at least - it has started going downhill for me in these later questions!

Ah technical difficulties does seem more obvious now I can see it as an answer! I just have Madonna's fall etched into my mind.

A shame to see Tom out and particularly on that song, 'Royal Highness' is fantastic and one of his best but with all the #15 votes coming in I could see the writing on the wall. A shame also for Gary as I put 'Cars' in top spot to keep him in, but there's nothing I can really say to defend the song choice this round as I couldn't put it anywhere other than last given some of the lyrics.

Exciting! Some of these could go in any direction 😅

1 Depeche Mode - People Are People 2 Sam Fender - Getting Started 3 Tom Grennan - Royal Highness 4 Texas - Halo 5 Bananarama - Cruel Summer 6 New Order - Ceremony 7 Kate Boosh - Babooshka 8 Darin - Electric 9 Zara Larsson - All the Time 10 Fontaines D.C. - Starburster 11 Sam Smith - Like I Can 12 MARINA - How to Be a Heartbreaker 13 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Get Over You 14 Adele - Oh My God 15 Gary Numan - Intruder

Answers sent! I can imagine grouping the answers together might be interesting for some of the more open-ended ones

Happy with that result for the groups! Roosevelt is my favourite of these artists but sounds like he did reasonably well at least.

@Dan17F1 - Just checking if you're still up for doing a quiz this week?

Ah hadn't paid any attention to the contents of the song, just the chart stats 😅 Thanks!

What happened to the Morrisson song? 40-34-OUT is a pretty random chart run!
