Definitely not the one I was thinking of, as I don't listen to Today FM on Saturday morning or any other time, in truth, any more.  This was an evening show back in the mid 90s.

Tim Kelly used to be on evenings on 98FM from 1989 up until the end of 1997. He did the 9 at 9 at 9pm. I think that's the one you are thinking of. He moved to Today FM in early 1998 and brought hat idea with him and it eventually evolved into the 9 at 11 on Today FM.


I might give this a go.

Yes, that sounds most probable.

Used to have serious OCD back in the ipod days about having all the information correct on there so I know the right ballpark at least for most of these

I thought 90s would be easy. There are 2 I feel certain were released in the same year. 50/50 now on being right on whichever one I change.

Some of the answers that I am nearly convinced about made me change some other answers...possibly in the right direction! 

My 90s answers aren't going too bad, but they're definitely going to be worse the further back I go

I know 2..that's it.. I'll be (educated??) Guessing the rest

Wooden spoon here I come

Will get answers in later Kol

I'm in. Sorry for the running commentary in my answers Kol, that's how my brain works things out in these scenarios

In, all guesses! Some I can narrow down to the early or later half of a decade, but I'm not 100% on any of them.

I listening over and over the songs I like forgetting the aim of the game guess the year

That's really tough. 

14 in so far, still time if anyone else in interested.

When will we get the answers for this one? I want to see how close/far away I was with my answers.

Just found this, is it still open?

Could do it tonight @Declan A Walsh

If you can get me a pm today @ari101

Reveal at 7

I will post each song result followed by a standings after each 5 songs

One right, two way wrong!

My gosh some of these songs are so much older than I figured I knew when I did the years I didn't have enough 60s but wow, I'm hopeless

Jaysus some right music nerds here, looking at you Necro

Spoon ahoy Maybe mid table is still possible if I can do better in the later stuff!

That's a relief with Wonderwall, It was the first one I filled on, but almost talked myself out of it as I was convinced Don't Speak was the same year.

Imagine was a difficult one, because didn't it re-enter the charts when he was shot? I was lucky to get that one on the nose.

Beatles finished in 1970, Imagine came out the next year

Yeah, but it was released a few times, hence why it was difficult.

Ah, I was so confused by that I really though it was 1980 ish - maybe that's why I thought that!

I didnt really think about re-releases, wasn't trying to add any trick questions in there. Apologies.

Will post the rest shortly.

Oh I don't mind, it makes sense that you are only looking for originals - I have no clue about anything pre 90s

Ari got one right

Jesus, I'm only a year or 2 out for some, granted way out for others!

Hopefully I can string a few more together and save myself from Spooning!
