It's back. My stupidly hard Xmas work quiz is live. As per usual I've done round one and now I'm stuck on the answer for round 2.

I've actually identified all the pictures, found the clue but the answer isn't working 😭

Sorry for crappy pictures but if you use the first letter of each of the album names it spells out "album ones singers" so I thought it must be the singers on the Arctic Monkeys album 'AM'....but whichever way I put the names in it doesn't work.

Then I thought as the clue at the top is "Artistless" maybe I had to remove Alex Turner (as Turner is a famous artist) but I'm still striking out!

As always, any help appreciated & if I've missed any of the amazing quizzers who usually play along (I know I have) please feel free to tag them

Think that's all of them

8 is Adele, Rolling In The Deep (21) and Sweetest Devotions (25)

Done. How dare Apocalypse go to lunch! ;-)

Ahh too slow 😂

Right, so now we need to figure out the pattern... I can't see anything...!!

(Because I'm avoiding work, I've put them all into a spreadsheet to see if anything jumped out. )

Well done, very organised.

Just a thought, have they all played at Glastonbury or have they all covered the same song?
Something like that?

Christmas number 1?

Nope, that's not it.

Maybe length of time between the two albums?

it's not Glasto.

The name of the round is normally helpful, so hopefully when AN gets back that'll give us a clue....

Do we know how many letters in the answer?

You know on the other ones, we've had (5,6), which gave us a bit of a clue

I have geekily added the dates of the albums to my spreadsheet now as well and that's not helped. I've even sorted them by date order to see if that threw up anything.. (it did not..)

Placemaking, I love these threads. I don't think a pop album question is the ideal start for me though.

Also placemarking Guns n roses seem the odd one out in that list with two albums in the same year.

They're all 0 to 4 years apart. Grouping them didn't seem to give anything.

We're they all involved in some charity thing, like Live Aid, or something similar?

(Sorry, I know I'm not helping, just throwing out ideas 😀)

Guns n roses definitely sticks out like a sore thumb...

If you put them in date order do they spell out anything?

Forget that, stupid idea.

I can't imagune Oasis sharing a stage with Take That.

I'm thinking it must be something to do with the specific albums, otherwise just one was enough to indicate each artist.

Apologies not on computer right now so am a bit limited in search ability, but could it be
Album length
A common word or theme in song titles
Songs at top of chart (how long)
Association with movies

I thought it must be the album names that were important too. I briefly looked at "first letter of first, second letter of second" but that didn't seem to give anything.

Not to worry! I put in all the answers and the password for the next round popped up in a box.....they must've been feeling kind when they wrote that one.

Oh no! I just put the password in and it links to a page saying you've completed it :( I was looking forward to another round.

There were a couple of ones I did myself if you'd like me to post those?

Obviously yes!!!
