I can't even remember what station used to do that.

There's a 9 at 11 on today fm on a Saturday morning, same thing, guess the year!

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.
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - ShaneU - 08-11-2021
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
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - cee_jay - 08-11-2021
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.
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - Declan A Walsh - 08-11-2021
Some of the answers that I am nearly convinced about made me change some other answers...possibly in the right direction!
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - aaronjennings - 08-11-2021
My 90s answers aren't going too bad, but they're definitely going to be worse the further back I go
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - Trigger - 08-11-2021
I know 2..that's it.. I'll be (educated??) Guessing the rest
Wooden spoon here I come
Will get answers in later Kol
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - Necro - 08-11-2021
I'm in. Sorry for the running commentary in my answers Kol, that's how my brain works things out in these scenarios
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - Leg End Reject - 08-11-2021
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.
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - jp liz v1 - 08-11-2021
I listening over and over the songs I like forgetting the aim of the game guess the year
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - Wichita Lineman - 09-11-2021

Maybe mid table is still possible if I can do better in the later stuff!
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - cee_jay - 23-11-2021
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.
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - quickbeam - 23-11-2021
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!
RE: Guess The Year Music Edition - Kol - 23-11-2021
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
