So what is this all about?
Well my local pub quiz has a music round, you see. Most of the time that round consists of listening to the first bit of a song and guessing the artist, but the songs will all be UK Number One hits on the day of the quiz ... usually. Since this is the only category that you can predict the questions, I made this to help me study for that one round.
That's right! Every week I use this to try and memorise all the number ones for the quiz day and then when it comes to quiz time, boom!
This is still very much a work-in-progress (especially as I manually add the YouTube links every week), so if you use this and see any errors definitely let me know! (Things in fuchsia are currently being developed ... gotta add the B-Sides)
