 Now I'm curious. What is the Weeknd's famous accomplishment(s) in the UK?
I didn’t mean to be misleading - I said yes due to hitting #1 multiple times (albums and singles) on both the UK and Canada charts
That's not misleading. I knew my wording wasn't precise enough even when I wrote it.

I am Canadian, and had NO idea that The Weeknd is!

The funny thing is, if we had gone through the normal questioning route, we wouldn't have fallen into the trap (although actors and musicians are always going to be hard because there are so many of them). Next thread will be up soon.

Oh we didn't have a "primarily known for" questions this time. Great guess.
This is also true. It was one of those rounds where the questions asked end up falling into all of the traps that the subject offers.

Of course, the answer was in front of everyone the whole time:

 Apologies if there's some delay - it's the weekend and I'm a bit busy with Memorial Day stuff, but I'll try to keep it moving along

 Let's ask the last question and get to the unfree guesses phase then?

20: Does this person have a dedicated Wikipedia page that features a picture of them, AND has a dedicated Wikipedia page in a language that is primarily written in a non-Latin alphabet?
Yes

 OK, I have a guess, but I don't feel like using another unfree guess.

I'll ask a question instead. Was this person born in Canada after 1970?
Yes

 Paul Haggis
Haggis was born too early so auto-scratched

I will try to post a summary - I think you all may benefit from asking some of your remaining questions

 20th question has not been answered, which means an unfree guess must be paid for, which means "donations to GM" are allowed?
All donations should be made in bitcoin
