This is an embarrassing oversight for my #1 Hits team. Please hang on in there, DJ named ominously after a ghost

For the second year running, I submitted in a panic at exactly 23:59. Top New Year parties we have round here #1 Hits A theme team of people who've had a record peak at #1 in the UK Singles Chart (either solo or as part of a group). Last year's position is given in brackets, where applicable. 1: (new) Ray Thomas (The Moody Blues) 2: (new) Terry Jacks 3: (6) Peter Sarstedt 4: (2) Vera Lynn 5: (new) Len "Chip" Hawkes (The Tremeloes) 6: (11) Rolf Harris 7: (9) Billy Connolly 8: (3) Peter MacBeth (The Foundations) 9: (new) Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones) 10: (new) Eric Faulkner (Bay City Rollers) 11: (1) Sinéad O'Connor 12: (new) Vic Damone 13: (new) Kenny Rogers 14: (new) Diana Ross 15: (new) Justin Bieber 16: (new) Barry Gibb (The Bee Gees) 17: (new) Ken Dodd 18: (new) Chuck Berry 19: (new) Doris Day 20: (new) Avicii Dropped since last year: Mike Elliott (The Foundations) (4), Jane Morgan (5), Melissa Bell (Soul II Soul) (7) (who, by the way, I just realised wasn't even in the group when they had a #1, so wasn't eligible in the first place!), Marcia Barrett (Boney M.) (8), Ke$ha (10), Lena Martell (12), Robert Lee Smith (The Tams) (13), Craig Douglas (14), Charles Aznavour (15), Kenney Jones (Small Faces) (16), Norman Greenbaum (18), Ian McCredie (Middle of the Road) (19), and Judith Durham (The Seekers) (20). Only person to actually die last year was Kitty Kallen (17), who didn't get a qualifying obit anyway. Unpersons A theme team of Big Brother housemates (including Celebrity Big Brother and other spin-offs). Last year's position is given in brackets, where applicable. 1: (new) Marco Pierre White Jr (BB17) 2: (2) Jackie Stallone (CBB3) 3: (3) Bruce Jones (CBB12) 4: (5) Julie Goodyear (CBB10) 5: (7) Lionel Blair (CBB13) 6: (6) Lauren Harries (CBB12) 7: (new) Janice Dickinson (CBB16) 8: (new) Danniella Westbrook (CBB17) 9: (4) Carol McGiffin (CBB12) 10: (8) Jeremy Jackson (CBB15) 11: (14) Big Ron Atkinson (CBB12) 12: (18) John McCririck (CBB3) 13: (new) Ken Morley (CBB15) 14: (new) Christopher Biggins (CBB18) 15: (new) Liz Jones (CBB13) 16: (new) Carole Vincent (BB8) 17: (16) Gary Busey (CBB14) 18: (new) Tila Tequila (CBB16) 19: (new) Starboy Nathan (Celebrity Hijack) 20: (new) Ivana Trump (CBB7) Dropped since last year: Rebekah Shelton (1), Dustin Diamond (9), Alicia Douvall (10), Alexander O'Neal (11), Michael Barrymore (12), Paddy Doherty (13), Katie Hopkins (15), Paula Hamilton (17), Germaine Greer (19), and Derek Laud (20). Nobody on the team died last year. (Pete Burns was #32 in my salvage lot.) Strictly Corpse Dying A theme team of Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars contestants, hosts, judges etc. Didn't have this one last year and knocked it off in about half an hour due to poor time management. You're welcome 1 (JOKER): Shannen Doherty 2: Bruce Forsyth 3: Valerie Harper 4: Tommy Chong 5: Rob Kardashian 6: Buzz Aldrin 7: Cloris Leachman 8: Sherri Shepherd 9: Jimmy Tarbuck 10: Betsey Johnson 11: Paula Deen 12: Johnny Ball 13: Suzanne Somers 14: Russell Grant 15: Esther Rantzen 16: David Dickinson 17: John Sergeant 18: Ann Widdecombe 19: Anastacia 20: Len Goodman

Didn't know she'd died, I loved 'Kiss Kiss'

Why was there a promoted tweet from you in my TL this morning? Because you don't have AdBlock. Get it together

Spectres-to-Be (a Bond theme team) 21: Peter Lamont 22: Eunice Gayson 23: Luciana Paluzzi Not really anything much else bubbling under the three substitutes. What a boring team that turned out to be #1 Hits (a #1 hitmaker theme team) 21: Gerry Marsden (Gerry and the Pacemakers) 22: Chuck Berry 23: Rik Elswit (Dr Hook) 24: Gary Glitter 25: David Cassidy 26: Cliff Richard 27: Kay Starr 28: Andy Scott (Sweet) 29: Terry Hall (The Specials) 30: Ken Dodd 31: Peter Tork (The Monkees) 32: Abdul "Duke" Fakir (The Four Tops) 33: Dave Hill (Slade) 34: Des O'Connor 35: Tulisa 36: Danny Kirwan (Fleetwood Mac) 37: Tommy Banner (The Wurzels) 38: Carl Morgan (So Solid Crew) 39: Tich (Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich) 40: Sandi Thom David Bowie nowhere near. Will make up for it by pencilling in "David Zowie" for 2017 Unpersons (a Big Brother theme team) 21: Carole Vincent (BB8) 22: Jackiey Budden (CBB5) 23: Tila Tequila (CBB16) 24: Janice Dickinson (CBB16) 25: Ken Morley (CBB15) 26: Linda Nolan (CBB13) 27: Tara Reid (CBB8) 28: Vinnie Jones (CBB7) 29: Kellie Maloney (CBB14) 30: Dirk Benedict (CBB5) 31: Shahbaz Chaudry (BB7) 32: Pete Burns (CBB4) 33: Stephanie Beacham (CBB7) 34: Daniel Baldwin (CBB16) 35: Kerry Katona (CBB8) 36: Kavana (CBB15) 37: Heidi Fleiss (CBB7) 38: Sree Dasari (BB10) 39: Lesley Brain (BB8) 40: Sue Perkins (CBB2) I can't believe I have a 21-40 for a theme team that statistically can be expected to get about 0.5 hits. My longlist has synopses like "DEMENTED CRACKHEAD" right down to the low 50s

Phantom, just for my theme team, could you go out and buy this album please? Yeh and while you're at it, anything by Daniel Bedingfield, Shania Twain or Anthea Turner. Wow this must be an old thread. I didn't know David Bowie died in 2002

This, from back in March, was all I could find while researching Sally Sweetland's health in 2015. "Total stranger's Facebook post" isn't much of a source but it was enough to deter me from picking her. (This woman could, of course, be a seasoned deadpooler trying to throw people off the scent in the hope of getting a unique hit, and I've fallen right into her trap)

I debut with 3 theme teams, because I have got no respect for the spirit of competition #1 Hits A theme team of people who've had a record peak at #1 in the UK Singles Chart (either solo or as part of a group). 1 (JOKER): Sinéad O'Connor 2: Vera Lynn 3: Peter Macbeth (The Foundations) 4: Mike Elliott (The Foundations) 5: Jane Morgan 6: Peter Sarstedt 7: Melissa Bell (Soul II Soul) 8: Marcia Barrett (Boney M.) 9: Billy Connolly 10: Ke$ha 11: Rolf Harris 12: Lena Martell 13: Robert Lee Smith (The Tams) 14: Craig Douglas 15: Charles Aznavour 16: Kenney Jones (Small Faces) 17: Kitty Kallen 18: Norman Greenbaum 19: Ian McCredie (Middle of the Road) 20: Judith Durham (The New Seekers) Spectres-to-Be A theme team of cast and crew members of James Bond films. 1 (JOKER): Sean Connery 2: Roger Moore 3: George Lazenby 4: Guy Hamilton 5: Lewis Gilbert 6: Clifton James 7: Earl Cameron 8: Ken Adam 9: Albert Finney 10: Joe Don Baker 11: Michael Lonsdale 12: Topol 13: David Hedison 14: Monty Norman 15: Burt Kwouk 16: Julian Fellowes 17: Akiko Wakabayashi 18: David de Keyser 19: Geoffrey Palmer 20: Johanna Harwood Unpersons A theme team of Big Brother (or, mostly, Celebrity Big Brother) housemates. 1 (JOKER): Rebekah Shelton (BB10 – competed as Rodrigo Lopes) 2: Jackie Stallone (CBB3) 3: Bruce Jones (CBB12) 4: Carol McGiffin (CBB12) 5: Julie Goodyear (CBB10) 6: Lauren Harries (CBB12) 7: Lionel Blair (CBB13) 8: Jeremy Jackson (CBB15) 9: Dustin Diamond (CBB12) 10: Alicia Douvall (CBB15) 11: Alexander O'Neal (CBB15) 12: Michael Barrymore (CBB4) 13: Paddy Doherty (CBB8) 14: Big Ron Atkinson (CBB12) 15: Katie Hopkins (CBB15) 16: Gary Busey (CBB14) 17: Paula Hamilton (CBB11) 18: John McCririck (CBB3) 19: Germaine Greer (CBB3) 20: Derek Laud (BB6)

You're not that new. You've been a member for almost a year. Well "Piss" still stands at least
