From Tragically Hip to Tragically RIP

Stop it.

And so FixedBusiness, the_engineer, Torva Messnor, and Kevinnix3 become the four who picked the fabled 15th hit - well done. Thread closed.

Antoine Tassy (1974, Haiti) 1924 – is likely dead as I’ve seen a reference to someone visiting his grave, but no idea when. Ali Selmi (Tunisia 1998 for one match) – unknown DOB. It could be separated by World Cup, but by age might help the deadpooler in need.

We won't know 2017 figures for another year - they are usually issued in about September for the previous year, so we will have to wait to see if George Michael's death has any effect. 2012 George 12, Charlotte 20 2013 George 10, Charlotte 21 2014 George 7, Charlotte 23 2015 George 4, Charlotte 25 2016 George 3, Charlotte 12 So George is steadily rising, but both names were in the top 20 before the birth of Prince George.

Oh wait, just checked the IP. Nice try Africa7777

Fittingly enough, if you treat any name that's the first hit of a certain number as a record breaker, rather than just those who broke a previous year's record, then you can consider Roy Castle (the first hit #8) to be one!

Riefenstahl, who actually died (or it was announced) in the middle of a History class discussing her work! Always felt it strange to have a notable Nazi hanger-on still around into my school lifetime. Segovia (87), Sugar Ray (89), Kitty Godfree (92), Erich Honecker (94), Quentin Crisp (99) to complete the list of "record breakers".

I'd say it go as far a 50 and no more Lofty total of sweet 17

He doesn’t work anymore though does he?!

Wow, didn't expect him to be the record breaker! Thought about Kirk Douglas or King Michael.

Kirk Douglas.Had an argument about him not being dead at work so that is bound to jinx him.

Thank you Gord for your sacrifice.

IN A WORLD POSSESSED BY THE HUMAN DEATH 19/50 18th October 2017 Singer Gord Downie has sadly died after a long battle with cancer to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist another success. Downie, a prolific songwriter, formed his band, The Tragically Hip, while still in secondary school in 1984. From then until 2016, they released fourteen studio albums, and got their big break outside their homeland with a top 20 US hit in 1993 with Courage. They had a Canadian number one (Ahead by a Century) and a large number of top ten hits, but they were primarily an albums band. The Hip's last album, Man Machine Poem, focused on the themes of death and loss, and was critically acclaimed, though Downie claimed the songs had been written before he knew he was ill. In recent years, Downie had been involved in indigenous civil rights and other charity work. He was only 53, and making his debut on the list. With two months to go, the 2017 list has smashed its previous record of 14 by a considerable distance.

The record of the amount of drop 40 hits per year is also broken as well, breaking to 14 deaths in a year...

RIP! And well, the record.... So he did pull a "Bowie"....

Just beat me to it by a minute

Also Naipul, simply based on his age

ZZ Top have canceled the remaining dates on their 2017 tour because of a medical condition affecting bassist Dusty Hill. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/zz-top-cancel-2017-tour/

If it's a boy, they could surprise us with John. That was Diana's father's name. I know people say the Royals think it's unlucky because of Prince John, the Queen's uncle, but all the Royal names have some sort of baggage*. But they are unlikely to pick John because it's deeply unfashionable, and Wills&Kate seem to be tediously conventional in that respect. Same goes for another Royal name, Richard, currently only occupied by the Duke of Gloucester afaik. Arthur and Alfred Alfie are trendy. I can see them choosing Alice for a girl. The other obvious Royal candidates are Victoria and Mary, but again they are unfashionable. *Actually Charlotte could have been dismissed as unlucky, because of Princess Charlotte, only child of George IV. She would have succeeded him as monarch, but she died in childbirth aged 21.

The toughest drops should we not break the record are Tutu and Gall.QE2 is so healthy that missing her although would be a huge miss could be defendable.

The Italian guy at our three day meeting in Madrid today told me at lunch he had booked himself one of the last available tickets for the game.

Biggest death of 2017

I'm not going to lie... I really like that movie. It made me read all the books. I'm fully aware of its faults, but there is magic in there (probably all due to the book).
