ALL-NEW UK Top 40 Prediction League

Yep, I've reset it, cos the old one was getting a bit unwieldy and Alex had obviously won by a rather silly distance.

So then. This time, it's got a definite finish date, that being the Christmas #1 chart (December 21st).

Rules are: I select a number of singles released on Monday (always at least ten, sometimes more), and you predict where they end up in the chart next Sunday. Points are scored as follows:

Correct position - 10 pts.
Getting position wrong by one either way - 5 pts
Getting position wrong by two either way - 1 pt
Correctly picking the number one record - 10 pts

There are also ten bonus points for picking the record at a certain randomly selected position in the chart, which changes each week.

The deadline for predictions is now mid-day on Tuesday.

All are welcome.

This week's picks are:

RILO KILEY - The Execution Of All Things
YEAH YEAH YEAHS - Maps
EVANESCENCE - Going Under
THE DARKNESS - I Believe In A Thing Called Love
ATHLETE - You Got The Style
OUTKAST - Ghetto Musick
JURGEN VRIES - Wilderness
FOO FIGHTERS - Have It All
FEEDER - Find The Colour
CLEA - Download It
ELVIS & OAKENFOLD - Rubberneckin'
TIM DELUXE - Less Talk, More Action
DELTA GOODREM - Innocent Eyes

The random number is #17.

Shit, just realised - I can't check the top 100 anymore. So keep the usual scores, but if you predict something as finishing outside the top 75 and are correct then you get 5 points.

Was going to wishful-thinking-ly go for Darkness as #1 but who am I to fly in face of popular consensus? It so would rool if was though yes.

#17 = So Solid Crew
#1- Black Eyed Peas

― Neil FC (Neil FC), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Please Sir, excuse Neil from handing in his homework late as he hasn't been feeling well today, and hasn't sneaked a peek at the mid-week charts.

Mrs. Neil FC

― Neil FC (Neil FC), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Neil, yer in, this week.

New Season kicks off... smell the tension...

Beyonce is #40.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

And is followed by Busted. I am drowning in thrill.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

But it's our first points, as the Foos limp in at 37, garnering a massive 1 point for Scott James, which makes him the early leader.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

The Foo Fighters really are dreadful, aren't they?

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, this is a massively boring single. If I'd have heard it before filing my predictions I wouldn't have placed is as high. Anyway, 10 new entries to go...does that mean that Rilo Kiley and Athlete haven't made the top 40?

― Siegbran (eofor), Sunday, 28 September 2003 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd reckon so. If ver Kiley have made the top 75 I'd be stunned, even though it is the best single out this week (read: single this week that sounds most like The Delgados).

However, I know there's at least one new entry that I didn't put in the picks, which means one other single has missed out. And I know what it is, if I remember the midweeks right.

I'm not telling.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

And here's The Chemical Brothers. Things can only get better. Hopefully.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

But hey, suddenly it's Lemar followed by Lumidee and Will's mood ring is glowing 'yes', particularly considering they skipped right over Kelly Clarkson.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

YYY's #26 - me and Alex storm into the joint lead with ten each, five for Siegbran and Fishman, and one for Tom May.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

And Feeder are #24 - Fishman scores ten and takes the lead outright, with Joni picking up five.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

And Clea are #21 - Siegbran gets 5.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

And a whole new world of "Looking forward to their second single" jokes emerges over the horizon...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

And Jurgen Vries is #20 - five for Siegbran puts him joint first...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

#17 any second now...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Louise.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

No points, obv.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

And here's Metallica entering at #16, several years after they were meant to. This is the one that missed the picks this week.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

have the final total scores for the previous game been done yet? seeing as i'm gonna score feck all in this new one...

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Er, no. Because I have forgotten. I think you were second, probably.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

hooray!

( /\ imagine pic of that dude from the Simpsons in the multi-axled car)

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

And I've managed to miss two new entries in the picks, cos here's the UD Project at #14.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Delta is #9, and Hetteson is on FI-YAH, picking up ten to pull even further ahead of everyone else...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Mighty Evs #8 mightily - 10 for Jel, Ed and Neil, five for Dom, Alex and Joni, and one for Tom May.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

So here's the Darkness at #2. Which means BEP are #1. And the new points and picks will be up soon enough.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Athlete #42, Tim Deluxe #45, Outkast #55, Rilo Kiley outside the top 75. This only really benefits Scott, who gets 10 for Athlete, and Steve, who gets five for Rilo Kiley.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 28 September 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Scores all done and dusted (I'm second!), but I'll sort out the picks tomorrow morning in a whole new thread.
