    Thanks Ben! Is Ian Carey Project - Get Shaky still in? I keep Reading Get Sexy as that, I hope people aren't just getting confused :lol:

    Nope, not in the top 300. It has appeared yesterday but I guess because of the MJ tracks climbing again, it dropped out.

    Just to let you know guys, (really) pointless posts will be deleted in the future (for example pointless mini updates, or one word posts) without telling the poster. Nothing against anyone, but the itunes thread is sometimes a mess, difficult to search back to the update and it reaches now within a week more than 900 posts.

     

    So please try to use the thread properly and don't forget there are lots of artist threads and forums, so if you want to talk about a certain artists use those threads/forums. ;)

     

    And please let them run for the full 50 pages before starting a new thread.

    Ben's UK Singles Top 10 Prediction Game

    Round 2

    Welcome back in 2009 for the second half! The game is simple: you have to predict next weeks top 10. If YOU are the closest to the real top 10 you will gain the maximum points!

     

    The scoring: The number of places you are away from the real chart positions is all added up, and the players are ranked, so the person with the least number of points is 1st, and then 2nd etc.

    The scores: The first receives 30, the second 29, the third 28 ... until the 30th player, who gets 1 point. If there are more players, they can't get any points (only bonus points). If there are ties the points for first and second etc. will be shared (pts for 1st place + pts for 2nd place / 2 (depending on how many players are tied).

     

    Bonus round: every 5th round is a bonus round, where you can get double points but you have to predict the singles top 15! if You're the closest you earn 60 points, the second 58, the third 56 ... the 30th (last) gets 2 points.

     

    - You can get extra points if you answer 3 bonus questions. The first question is always the most difficult, therefore if you answer correctly you can get 5 extra more points. For the second correct answer you can get 3 more extra points and for the third 2 more extra points so a total of 10 more extra points!

     

    - In the bonus rounds (every 5th round) you have to answer 6 questions to earn more points!!!

     

    - You must give the correct name of the artist and at least the beginning of the title of the song. For example:

     

    5. Eva Cassidy & Katie Melua - What A Wonderful World

    5. Eva & Katie - What A Wonderful World

    5. Eva & Katie - What A...

     

    - If your vote contain two songs for the same place or a place is missing, the vote won't be valid!

     

    - If a song in your prediction will be cancelled or miss the whole top 75 it will count as it'll be # 76.

     

    - Therefore: You can predict an eleventh song (in the bonus rounds a 16th) if you're not sure one of the predicted songs are chart eligible or will be released that week. If that song gets cancelled or is disqualified (NCQ) the eleventh (16th) song will count. (But only in this case!) (Like Oasis - Falling Down) Please be clear in what position that song should be! (Any questions about the rules, contact me!)
