*Introductory theme tune*

Ew, seventeen, what an ugly number. Still, this quiz is dedicated to anyone who voted for this as the Best New Game in the recent Awards. There are plenty of great games on the forum, both old and new, and I'm really glad you enjoy this one.

So, without further ado, let's play Pointless!

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. searching online for answers)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

ROUND #1

Our first category today is...

POP MUSIC

I gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

ACTS WITH SIX OR MORE UK NUMBER ONES

...as they could. Acts – solo artists or groups – with at least six UK number #1 singles, i.e. the most obscure popular artists you can think of. It has to be in their own right, so a song by one of the groups in (for example) BandAid wouldn't count as one of the six. This is up to February 2013.

I'll also ask for this one that you don't Google other answers after giving yours, as there are a number with the same score this round and a tie is possible.

Well, I didn't expect anything less.

Why, Lisa?

For the record, they don't have to be UK acts, so don't panic.

Because I can't decide, and then maybe someone would take one of mine so I have fewer options.

Haha. Well, there are twenty-eight on the list, so quite a few to choose from.

Two pointless answers available.

I with Lisa, this is hard! I might try her close the eyes and shoot strategy.

James, no ?!

You should've just made me take that as my guess as the penalty.

I'll post my actual guess as: Kylie Minogue

That's OK, a number of people have given away other answers on the show and that doesn't usually happen.

Kylie Minogue accepted.

The list is comprised of older artists and artists who are still banging out hits.

You have a music chart of popular songs in the US, don't you? I think for you it's a Top 100 (Billboard?). For us, it's the Top 40. The question asks participants to name any solo artist or band they think has had at least six number #1 songs in the UK chart.

Essentially, name an artist you think has had numerous hit (very popular) songs.

Automatically?

It's a good guess, Jeff. They exploded onto the scene and have a lot of fans, and their popularity hasn't yet died down.
