I didn't think it would be so high lol

Thanks mate No, neither did I. I just went by the logic of each show having on average 6 seasons and 10 episodes per season. I knew a few would be lower but then there’s Friends etc that must be much higher.

Most US network sitcoms usually have (or at least used to have) around 22-24 episodes per season.

All correct! Strong start from James.

1. Seven Days One Week
2. Whippin’ Piccadilly - Gomez (James)
3. House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals (James)
4. Out Of Control - Chems (James)
5. Loose Fit - Happy Mondays (James)
6. In The Meantime
7. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits (James)
8. We Are The Music Makers
9. Fall At Your Feet
10. Among Myselves

I know I'll kick myself on 'Fall At Your Feet', it's maddeningly familiar, but don't recognise the other titles at all.

I’ll provide some clues soon

1. Three letter acronym. French-based trance music act, originally composed of Italian record producers Bruno Sanchioni and Bruno Quartier, and French producer Emmanuel Top. You might find the same acronym on perishable goods.

6. English rock band formed in 1994 in New York City. Their music is heavily influenced by David Bowie, Queen, and T. Rex. The band name might describe a porcine astronaut.

8. I’ve featured this guy before. A huge computer game by developers Valve has a logo very similar to the artwork of the album this track is found on.

9. NZ dad rock.

10. Electronic group formed late 80s. The band name might describe noises coming from the UK capital in a few years time.

9. must be Crowded House, great description!

Correct

1. Seven Days One Week
2. Whippin’ Piccadilly - Gomez (James)
3. House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals (James)
4. Out Of Control - Chems (James)
5. Loose Fit - Happy Mondays (James)
6. In The Meantime
7. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits (James)
8. We Are The Music Makers
9. Fall At Your Feet - Crowded House (James)
10. Among Myselves

The only three-letter acronym I can think of that might be found on perishable goods is BBE (as in Best Before End). I've never heard of an act by that name, but I might as well guess it anyway!

Got it

1. Seven Days One Week - B.B.E. (James)
2. Whippin’ Piccadilly - Gomez (James)
3. House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals (James)
4. Out Of Control - Chems (James)
5. Loose Fit - Happy Mondays (James)
6. In The Meantime
7. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits (James)
8. We Are The Music Makers
9. Fall At Your Feet - Crowded House (James)
10. Among Myselves

James has built an unassailable lead, not for the first time. So is everyone happy with me handing him the win? Unless James wants to go for a clean sweep…?

It would be nice if a whitewash can be avoided but depends on how everyone else feels.

Just based on the clues, 6 must be something like Spacepig or Spacehog and 10 is presumably London something, but Londonbeat doesn't really work, and London Grammar are too young, so I think that's as far as I'm going with the remaining ones.

Spacehog is correct. And you’ll kick yourself!

1. Seven Days One Week - B.B.E. (James)
2. Whippin’ Piccadilly - Gomez (James)
3. House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals (James)
4. Out Of Control - Chems (James)
5. Loose Fit - Happy Mondays (James)
6. In The Meantime - Spacehog (James)
7. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits (James)
8. We Are The Music Makers - Aphex Twin (unanswered)
9. Fall At Your Feet - Crowded House (James)
10. Among Myselves - Future Sound of London (unanswered)

So that’s it wrapped up. James owned this one, and scored an impressive 8.

Over to James for the next one

Cool. I'll get something together this afternoon.

Oh yeah and d'oh at no. 10!
