  2. *drumroll* get ready, results imminent! :D
  3. Now please, give me time to calculate our scores! :D Also, all ties will be split. Sorry, no luxury of joint triple winner this time! (the times will be split by the number of pointless answers, then the number of answers by 2, then by 3 etc.)
  4. Now onto the last one... 52iW3lcpK5M 12. Name an artist whose songs occupied a #1 and a #2 in the singles chart of the same date. Also name these songs. Only a few songs achieved that feat! Streaming era has made it far easier, half of the list comes from the latest years. Surely it's more and more to come soon. I also made it easier for you and asked you to name the songs and not artist in general (which created 4 options for Ed Sheeran), which broadened the choice. 0 | 3% | The Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" | SamJudd 2 | 7% | The Beatles "Hello Goodbye" and "Magical Mystery Tour" | FleetSeb, Jade 0 | 3% | John Travolta — "Summer Nights" (with Olivia Newton-John) and "Sandy" | gavindeejay 3 | 10% | John Lennon — "Imagine" and"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" | Chez Wombat, HarryEzra, Dobbo 0 | 3% | John Lennon — "Imagine" and "Woman" | Yorkie3 3 | 10% | Frankie Goes To Hollywood "Relax" and "Two Tribes" | awardinary, Bjork, Suedehead2 4 | 14% | Madonna — "Into the Groove" and "Holiday" | Dannyboy, vibe, 777666jason, Theo. 4 | 14% | Justin Bieber "Sorry" and "Love Yourself" | SM351, TS0301, Mack., DanG 0 | 3% | Justin Bieber "Cold Water" and "Let Me Love You" | UltraReputation 0 | 0% | Justin Bieber "Despacito" and "I'm the One" | 0 | 3% | Ed Sheeran "Shape of You" and "Castle in the Hill" | Bre 4 | 14% | Ed Sheeran "Shape of You" and "How Would You Feel (Paean) | Zarate, ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥, Riser, PeteFromLeeds 0 | 3% | Ed Sheeran "Shape of You" and "Galway Girl" | Dexton 0 | 3% | Ed Sheeran "Perfect" and "River" | WhoOdyssey 29 | 3% | Frankie Laine - Hey Joe & Answer Me | paulgilb 29 | 3% | Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud & Bloodstream | Sarah So the joint top answers are Madonna with the dance classic 'Into the Groove' and 'Holiday', Justin Bieber with 'Sorry' and 'Love Yourself' and Ed Sheeran with 'Shape of You' and 'How Would You Feel'! I was doing SO WELL until the late answers came and made 'Paean' go to top! I actually hoped it was long forgotten that no one would even remember it, I underestimated you. :lol: 7 of you gained pointless answers, including the other Ed Sheeran songs duets. Again, the double trick worked, this time for Bre, Dexton and WhoOdyssay! UltraReputation remembered the two Justin Bieber features, Yorkie3 was the only one who went with the second feat by John Lennon, gavindeejay was the only one who went with JohnTravolta, and SamJudd took a pointless with one of the Beatles' duets! Congratulations to all of you. :D Frankie Laine was ALMOST THERE, occupying #1 and #3 and #2 and #3, however it didn't make the double #1 and #2 on the same week. The fifth suggestion of Ed Sheeran of 'Bloodstream' and 'Thinking Out Loud' doesn't qualify either, as they also occupied those positions on different dates. ... and no one went with another Justin Bieber feature secuence of 'Despacito' and 'Cold Water'!
  5. 30w8DyEJ__0 11. Name a #1 album by Arctic Monkeys which spent more than 20 weeks in the top-75. Another "current" question, with Arctic Monkeys releasing a long anticipated (and a lot disappointing for many) album this week! I don't know what to make of this shift of direction, but I quite enjoyed the new one! 6 | 21% | WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY I AM THAT'S WHAT I'M | Chez Wombat, FleetSeb, Mack., Suedehead2, Dobbo, Riser 10 | 34% | FAVOURITE WORST NIGHTMARE | Zarate, Bjork, vibe, 777666jason, HarryEzra, ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥, Jade, DanG, WhoOdyssey, PeteFromLeeds 3 | 10% | SUCK IT AND SEE | Dannyboy, Dexton, SamJudd 8 | 28% | AM | paulgilb, SM351, gavindeejay, TS0301, Theo., UltraReputation, Bre, Yorkie3 29 | 7% | Humbug | awardinary, Sarah The ones of you who answered 'Suck it and See' were the luckiest, which is really surprising to me, as it's the least memorable album to me out of the 4 eligible ones. Seems like many of us thought that and decided to opt with the more popular ones... and failed! Two of you fell for my small trick with 'Humbug', as it's indeed a #1 and spent 24 weeks in the top-100. However, it has only spent 16 weeks in the top-75 and thus is not qualified.
  6. WPbeEtjo70g 10. Name a drum&bass song which went top-20 in the singles chart. Drum&Bass became a mainstream dance genre only lately but has its roots back in the early 90s. And whoever of you remembered the obscure drum&bass hits from 90s were pretty much the winners! I really liked the way your answers came by so I didn't sort them alphabetically or anyhow! Whoever likes drum&bass may as well take this package and make a playlist of it. 4 | 14% | Pendulum - Propane Nightmares | Zarate, HarryEzra, Theo., WhoOdyssey 0 | 3% | Shy FX & T-Power - Don't Wanna Know | paulgilb 2 | 7% | Sub Focus feat. Alpines – Tidal Wave | awardinary, Suedehead2 2 | 7% | Rudimental feat.

The only other matches were 'Tidal Wave', 'Waiting All Night', the other Pendulum hit 'Watercolour' and 'Nobody to Love'.
  7. The next question may be pretty much nominated for the worst 'Pointless' questions ever, with there'll be an enormous number of pointless answers! What a playlist we have made tho. :jameela:
  8. qAA1oqmpLlQ 9. Name a Sugababes single (of any incarnation of its members) which went top-100 but didn’t make the top-10. One of the biggest British girlbands and CERTAINLY one of the most dramatic ones, Sugababes have had quite a lengthy career despite all of the line-up changes, label changes and whatever else happened to them all these years. They had some huge hits as well as minor ones, between the latter I asked you to pick one. 4 | 14% | New Year | vibe, FleetSeb, 777666jason, Mack. 7 | 24% | Run for Cover | awardinary, Dannyboy, gavindeejay, TS0301, Theo., PeteFromLeeds, Yorkie3 0 | 0% | Soul Sound | 4 | 14% | Shape | Bjork, Dexton, Dobbo, Jade 5 | 17% | Follow Me Home | paulgilb, SM351, ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥, Sarah, DanG 2 | 7% | Change | Chez Wombat, WhoOdyssey 2 | 7% | Denial | Zarate, Riser 5 | 17% | No Can Do | HarryEzra, UltraReputation, SamJudd, Suedehead2, Bre 0 | 0% | Flatline | No incorrect or pointless answers here. Most of you went with hidden gem 'Run for Cover' (brill choice tbh but its #13 peak was unfortunate to the 7 of you), yet NO ONE remembered 'Soul Sound'. If anyone entered 'Flatline' I would count it, as I made a point of any incarnation, but no one dared to try it! (Or just forgot about its existence as well. :( Quite a lot of points to the other non-top-20 hits (that peak was considered a flop back in the day) there, No Can Do and Follow Me Home. And the four of us who picked one of the two singles from the 'Change' era were the luckiest!
  9. And sorry Suedehead2, you are definitely not alone!
  10. MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE eJO5HU_7_1w 8. Name a single which slid down by exactly one place for 4 consecutive weeks within the top-40 in the single charts. We, chart funs, love nice and good looking chart-runs! :D I chose one of those nice patterns, asking you to find a chart-run with a slide of just one place in the singles chart for 4 consecutive weeks. It cause a lot of struggle for you though, and many of you misunderstood the question. 0 | 3% | Tommy Edwards - "It's All In The Game" [1-2-3-4-5] | Zarate 2 | 7% | Michael Jackson - "You Are Not Alone" [1-2-3-4-5] | TS0301, Suedehead2 6 | 21% | Eminem - "The Real Slim Shady" [1-2-3-4-5] | paulgilb, Chez Wombat, gavindeejay, SamJudd, Dobbo, DanG 4 | 14% | Ed Sheeran - "Shape of You" [1-2-3-4-5] | Dexton, 777666jason, UltraReputation, PeteFromLeeds 2 | 7% | Sigma - "Nobody to Love" [1-2-3-4-5] | ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥, Yorkie3 0 | 3% | Lady Gaga - "Poker Face" [1-2-3-4-5] | Theo. 0 | 3% | Flo Rida - "Good Feeling" [2-3-4-5-6] | Bre 29 | 3% | Calvin Harris feat. Tinie Tempah – Drinking From The Bottle [5-6-7-8] NOT ENOUGH | awardinary 29 | 7% | Adele - Rolling in the Deep [2-3-4-5] NOT ENOUGH | SM351, Dannyboy 29 | 3% | Jay-Z feat. Rihanna & Kanye West - Run This Town [3-4-5-6] NOT ENOUGH | Bjork 29 | 3% | James Morrisson & Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings [2-3-4-5-7] ALMOST THERE | vibe 29 | 3% | Spice Girls - "Spice Up Your Life" [1-2-3-4] NOT ENOUGH | Riser 29 | 3% | Lil Dicky feat. Chris Brown - Freaky Friday [1-2-3-4] NOT ENOUGH | FleetSeb 29 | 3% | Calvin Harris - Feels [1-2-3-4] NOT ENOUGH | HarryEzra 29 | 3% | Rudimental feat. Ella Eyre - Waiting All Night [1-2-2-4-5] ALMOST THERE | Mack. 29 | 3% | Pharrell Williams - Happy [1-2-3-4] NOT ENOUGH | Jade 29 | 3% | Dua Lipa - New Rules [2-3-4] NOT ENOUGH | Sarah 29 | 3% | Dua Lipa - IDGAF [5-6] NOT ENOUGH | WhoOdyssey So we came up with 7 different correct answers, the most popular of which being 'The Real Slim Shady', which is indeed the most memorable, as achieving such a chart-run in the fast paced physical market with a huge number of held-back releases was quite an achievement. The pointless answers are the old entry by Tommy Edwards, 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga. And the special shout out goes to Bre who was the only one who came up with the correct answer (Good Feeling) WITHOUT a #1 being part of the sequence. If I had the right I'd give you the negative point for this chart-run gem. Now cue the wrong answers. When I'm asking you to find a chart-run with the slide of one place for 4 consecutive weeks, the song to be qualified must do it 4 times in a row. In your chart-runs most of you found the sequence of 4 numbers, but you forgot that it took three jumps to make this chart-run, with the first number being a new entry, re entry, non mover, climber or a bigger faller. If my question had been "name a single.... who slid by exactly one place within the four weeks", I would have counted your answers. But alas, unfortunately not!
  11. You guys are going to hate me for the next one. Prepare for a huge bunch of incorrect answers.
  12. On to the second half of our quiz... p3l7fgvrEKM 7. Name a Dance #1 of 1997 (Dance #1 is determined by Colm of our very own Buzzjack in the respective thread!) This is a tribute to one of the best Buzzjack threads ever, with loads of memories as well as the new discoveries being unleashed to me! I could have chosen the year with less #1s to make more packed, but I couldn't resist, as this list of the songs is just fabulous. 0 | 0% | Apollo 440 - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub | 0 | 3% | B.B.E. - Flash | gavindeejay 0 | 3% | Daft Punk - Da Funk | Chez Wombat 0 | 0% | Dannii Minogue - All I Wanna Do | 0 | 3% | Dario G - Sunchyme | awardinary 0 | 3% | DJ Quicksilver - Bellissima | DanG 0 | 3% | DJ Quicksilver - Free | UltraReputation 2 | 7% | Gala - Freed From Desire | Zarate, Mack. 3 | 10% | Gala - Let A Boy Cry | Dexton, ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥, PeteFromLeeds 2 | 7% | Olive - You’re Not Alone | Theo., Riser 2 | 7% | Orbital - The Saint | TS0301, SamJudd 2 | 7% | PPF Project ft.

Given the big choice, it all got a bit random, with all Daft Punk, one of Sash!, both Quicksilver tracks, Dario G and B.B.E. being pointless. The other Sash! track is the biggest answer though. And it was even funnier when all of those votes for 'Stay' came almost in a row in the first half, and I was thinking, what kind of honey does it produce? 'Let a Boy Cry' by Gala gathered 3 votes, 1 more than her most popular 'Freed From Desire', which is also a huge dance anthem and my favourite one out of the list! No wrong answers again, everyone did their homework well here. :D
  13. Actually you're right! So it would be ineligible. I forgot about it and looked at the official credits where Mabels isn't credited: http://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/my-lover/ Anyway (thankfully) no one answered it, so I don't need to split this debatable answer!
  14. cIriwVhRPVA 6. Name a top-100 single from an artist which has made to the top-16 of the BBC Sound of 2018. That single must solely be credited by this artist and not feature any other artists. In this age it is crucially important to support the emerging acts, as with the charts being more and more dependant on the Spotify curated playlists it is harder and harder to breakthrough for the ones who aren't supported by streaming. BBC's 'Sound of...' is one of the best ways to launch the new career, Sigrid definitely enjoyed that 'Strangers' rocketing to the top-10. :D 5 | 17% | Sigrid - Don't Kill My Vibe | Bjork, 777666jason, Theo., UltraReputation, Yorkie3 0 | 3% | Sigrid - Strangers | gavindeejay 0 | 3% | Khalid - Young Dumb and Broke | Zarate 2 | 7% | Khalid - Location | SamJudd, Bre 3 | 10% | Alma - Chasing Highs | SM351, Dannyboy, DanG 3 | 10% | Not3s - Addison Lee | Dexton, Jade, Sarah 5 | 17% | Not3s - Aladdin | Chez Wombat, Mack., ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥, WhoOdyssey, PeteFromLeeds 0 | 0% | Not3s - My Lover | 4 | 14% | Tom Walker - Leave a Light On | paulgilb, vibe, HarryEzra, Suedehead2 3 | 10% | Yxng Bane - Rihanna | awardinary, TS0301, Dobbo 2 | 7% | Yxng Bane - Vroom | FleetSeb, Riser Funnily, 'Strangers' became a pointless, as only gavindeejay dared to enter probably the most obvious answer. On the other hand, 'Don't Kill My Vibe', also by Sigrid, is the joint biggest answer, as well as 'Aladdin' by Not3s. No one went with the biggest chart hit of the list, 'My Lover', and no one except for me :D dared to go with 'Young, Dumb and Broke' by Khalid, which is the second pointless answer.
  15. In the next one we'll finally have no wrong answers. :D
  16. 8de2W3rtZsA 5. Name a single by a male group which reached the #1 since 2005 till now. N.B. That group must consist of 3 or more people, must only consist of males and the group must not perform on the X-Factor UK with any song. Alternative music is quite under represented in the charts lately, and even pop boybands don't do as well as they did before. It is mainly due to the streaming takeover where even the average rapper can clog the Spotify top-50 with the new album release, while out of alternative bands only Arctic Monkeys managed to do a huge takeover. Boybands who used to rely on fanbase first week buys / downloads also struggle now. 2 | 7% | 5 Seconds of Summer - She Looks So Perfect | UltraReputation, Jade 0 | 3% | Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on a Dancefloor | Theo. 0 | 3% | Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down | Suedehead2 0 | 3% | fun.

The top answer (albeit with only 3 points) is Rage Against the Machine (which has been made the biggest anti X-Factor song by one of the most famous chart campaigns ever), some were also unlucky to make the same answers, while the others can enjoy their pointless options! :D The Wanted, One Direction and Westlife all performed on the X-Factor. However I counted the answers with only artists being as the answer, I couldn't count Dannyboy and Riser's ones, as Oasis and Coldplay had more than one #1 in this period, so I didn't know which one they were referring to.
  17. *prepare for a load of pointless answers for the next one*
  18. 1wJxAuduE_E 4. Name a Buzzjack Song Contest winner song which went top-100 in the official singles charts. Only the main contest winners count; spin-offs, best ofs etc. don’t count. Here we are with one of the most popular Buzzjack activity allowing us to explore the music and compete a bit between ourselves! :D I wish I had enough time on the constant basis to come back. 0 | 0% | Adele - Someone Like You (Live) | 2 | 7% | Agnes Carlsson - Release Me | Suedehead2, WhoOdyssey 4 | 14% | Alphabeat - The Spell | awardinary, Dannyboy, 777666jason, SamJudd 3 | 10% | Blonde feat.

No one went with 'Run Boy Run', my own entry, too, as well as with 'The Show' by Lenka. Despite quite a big varitety not that many pointless answers. Special shout out to Bray who entered 'Tik Tok', which was actually labeled as 'Dolla' in the contest (crafty loophole!), I didn't even include it to the list of the right answers initially. I also overlooked the 1995 #37 hit 'Relax' by Crystal Waters which was entered lately by JakeWild! Alessia Cara was from one of the spin-offs which I didn't count, and 'Euphoria' was an actual Eurovision Song Contest winner.
  19. Imagine what I felt when I received your answers. :lol:
  20. oxqnFJ3lp5k *I wish I banned vans too :( * 3. Name an artist who charted in the singles chart and whose name contains a motor vehicle that is not a car. N.B. That vehicle should be a separate word, 'Mariah BICYCLEy', ‘Lil YACHTy’ and such won’t count. That was a test of imagination, prepare for a lot of pointless answers! Humanity has created a big load of different ways of transportation through the years, which pretty much proves this thread! All types of trains, vans, ferries, motorcycles et all surround us and help us transport to the places we want to go. I deliberately banned 'car' not only to reduce the amount of correct answers, as I also think that we need to reduce their usage to improve the transport situation and ecology. :D 0 | 3% | Armand Van Helden | Sarah 0 | 3% | Black Rebel Motorcycle Club | ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥ 0 | 3% | Bombay Bicycle Club | Theo. 0 | 3% | Bryan Ferry | vibe 2 | 7% | Bus Stop | Zarate, 777666jason 0 | 3% | Death Cab For Cutie | awardinary 0 | 3% | George Van Dusen | Dobbo 0 | 3% | Jefferson Airplane | WhoOdyssey 0 | 3% | Motorcycle | Bjork 2 | 7% | Motorcycle Boy | FleetSeb, PeteFromLeeds 2 | 7% | Paul Van Dyk | paulgilb, TS0301 0 | 3% | REO Speedwagon | Dexton 0 | 3% | The Blue Aeroplanes | DanG 0 | 3% | The Lambrettas | Suedehead2 5 | 17% | Train | gavindeejay, UltraReputation, Bre, Jade, Yorkie3 2 | 7% | Van Halen | Chez Wombat, Riser 3 | 10% | Van Morrison | SM351, Dannyboy, Mack. 29 | 3% | Meghan Trainor | HarryEzra 29 | 3% | Dogs Die in Hot Cars | SamJudd If we combined all "vans" they'd be unsurprisingly the most popular answer, especially with 'Van' being a name as well as being used heavily in Dutch names. However, 'Train' was the most popular separate answer! I really liked your idea, Harry, but I had to DNQ it, as I asked them to be the stand-alone words to avoid many many loopholes that could be used that way! And Sam, I banned cars straight away, and until the dogs receive their own motor I can't count your answer as the correct one either unfortunately!
  21. I specifically designed the questions with very few correct answers, quite a lot (but limited) correct answers and open questions to increase the variety!
  22. pMv5vuSHMsU *shameless new album plug* 2. Name a studio Kylie Minogue album which spent more than 3 weeks in the top-10. There weren't many right options here either, as despite all the legacy, Kylie could enjoy lengthy album chart runs on quite rare occasions, especially since 'Deconstruction'. 4 | 14% | Kylie: The Album | Chez Wombat, Dexton, FleetSeb, Jade 5 | 17% | Enjoy Yourself | Dannyboy, HarryEzra, SamJudd, Sarah, PeteFromLeeds 4 | 14% | Fever | Bjork, gavindeejay, Dobbo, DanG 6 | 21% | Aphrodite | Zarate, SM351, vibe, Suedehead2, ┴פsᴉʍǝ˥, WhoOdyssey 4 | 14% | Golden | Theo., UltraReputation, Bre, Yorkie3 29 | 3% | Body Language | paulgilb 29 | 10% | Light Years | awardinary, 777666jason, TS0301 29 | 3% | Ultimate Kylie | Mack. 29 | 3% | Hand on Your Heart | Riser The answers again spread out pretty evenly, with Aphrodite being slightly more popular than the others. You didn't forget the newest add to this, 'Golden' (which I shamelessly plug as if Buzzjack is not aware of this album being out), which got pretty much the same amount of points as the first album, 'Kylie', and the apparently the most memorable one, 'Fever'. I get you guys with 'Light Years', it seems way bigger than it was at the time. Now it is considered a 'big Kylie comeback', however it has only spent two weeks in the top-10 shifting over 450k copies in the end (which is a pretty good result but not the greatest one especially in that album sales climate). 'Hand on Your Heart' is a song, and 'Ultimate Kylie' is not a studio album, it's a compilation album. But yes, it has spent more than 4 weeks in the albums top-10.
  23. fyaI4-5849w 1. Name a single that went to #1 which would have spent zero weeks at #1 if Accelerate Chart Ratio hadn’t been applied to the charts. The term Accelerate Chart Ratio (as well as the Standard Chart Ratio) has been invented halfway through the last year to make the charts less dead and to speed them up. Whichever track that spent at least 10 weeks in the chart and has been falling faster than the market for 3 consecutive weeks has been made ACR, and its streams counted for 300:1 rather than 150:1. There have been several debates over this new invention, with this on one hand speeding the chart runs a lot, on the other hand putting the very same streams into different weights which is unfair. Also it has created really abrupt chart runs and, as some could say, 'fake' number ones which only got there because of this new rule. No one still has come to the definite conclusion on its new implement to the charts. 'Wild Thoughts' made a benefit of this rule instantly getting to that elusive #1 and artificially overcoming 'Despacito' for a week. The other two singles joined the suit later.

Zara Larsson - Symphony | Sarah We have spread pretty much evenly, with 'Feels' being slightly more popular. There were five wrong answers here. Artists for Grenfell could have easily been #1 either way, shifting over 160k downloads no matter what. The same with Drake. As for the others, I was on the fence about counting it to the right or wrong answers, as they could have got to #1 due to the chart ratio of 150:1 instead of 100:1 (which was accelerated). However, given the term itself was only created after they had charted and 150:1 *was* the only, i.e. standard chart ratio, I couldn't count them as the right answers.
  24. Before we start, here's some this round's trivia for you. 29 of you have participated. Cumulatively, we've made 36 mistakes, which is averagely 3 per question and 1,24 per participant. However, there are a dozen of you who got all the questions right, don't worry! Despite loads of wrong questions, you still managed to give 68 pointless answers, which is 5,66 per question and 2,34 per participant. Small reminders: - The scoring will be a little bit different favouring the pointless results. If you are the only one to give the right answer, you get 0 points. However, if there are 2 or more people who answered the same way, they will get as many points as many people answered this way, including themselves. - The more comments the thread has the faster it will go. :D
  25. SO HERE WE ARE Thanks to 29 of you who played the game this time! So the good news is that for the overall leaderboard no one will be left pointless. :basil: (I'm very sorry, I couldn't resist) These were the questions. 1. Name a single that went to #1 which would have spent zero weeks at #1 if Accelerate Chart Ratio hadn’t been applied to the charts. 2. Name a studio Kylie Minogue album which spent more than 3 weeks in the top-10. 3. *sponsored by Campaign for better transport* Name an artist who charted in the singles chart and whose name contains a motor vehicle that is not a car. N.B. That vehicle should be a separate word, ‘Lil YACHTy’ and such won’t count. 4. Name a Buzzjack Song Contest winner song which went top-100 in the official singles charts. Only the main contest winners count; spin-offs, best ofs etc. don’t count. 5. Name a single by a male group which reached the #1 since 2005 till now. N.B. That group must consist of 3 or more people, must only consist of males and the group must not perform on the X-Factor UK with any song. 6. Name a top-100 single from an artist which has made to the top-16 of the BBC Sound of 2018. That single must solely be credited by this artist and not feature any other artists. 7. Name a Dance #1 of 1997 (Dance #1 is determined by Colm of our very own Buzzjack in the respective thread!) 8. Name a single which slid down by exactly one place for 4 consecutive weeks within the top-40 in the single charts. 9. Name a Sugababes single (of any incarnation of its members) which went top-100 but didn’t make the top-10. 10. Name a drum&bass song which went top-20 in the singles chart. 11. Name a #1 album by Arctic Monkeys which spent more than 20 weeks in the top-75. 12. Name an artist whose songs occupied a #1 and a #2 in the singles chart of the same date. Also name these songs. Results will be imminent! Please get ready. :D
