Another contemporary geography question:
Where is this (address) and what noteworthy thing IS happening here?

SpaceX headquarters
1 Rocket Rd, Hawthorne, CA 90250, United States
Many noteworthy things happening there - Falcon Heavy, Mars colonial transporter, dragon 2.
With SpaceX being the first to ever successfully land a stage 1 booster, they are changing the aerospace industry and are the most interesting thing that has happened in space travel our whole lives

Correct, did you notice they have a large X on their roof?
New question coming in a bit.

As it happens I was looking at this very photo a couple of days ago, so didn't have to see the X
Guess I'm fairly dialed in to the whole SpaceX thing atm

Those are the biggest charting songs in the UK in the years 1956, 1966, 1976, 1986, 1996, 2006, and it seems you're betting that "7 years" will be the biggest song in the UK for 2016. With 5 weeks at #1, I guess that's not far-fetched.

Correct, back on track there after the FO crowd beat you to the answers for a while
The last one is year to date, as 2016 obviously not done yet. I find it remarkable how little impact the #1 of the year has over time - the ones from the 70's and 80's having no lasting musical impact, and how many of them are covers.

That was fast
Another one then, hopefully this will take a bit more time to solve
Actors connected by another connection of threes, which are connected by the number four, connects these three movies: Midnight Crossing, The Departed, Minions
Who are the actors, what is the other connection, why is the number four significant, and how are these three movies relevant out of the many others they have done?
Edit: Found that one can substitute "The Departed" with "Hairspray", that specific actor changes to a new one, but all the connections remain and are indeed even more interlinked - and the questions remain the same.

Hint 3:
The group of 3's with the significant 4 are Hill Street Blues, The West Wing, and Mad Men, which are the only series with 4 consecutive Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series (peafods).
If no one gets it by tomorrow evening I'll finally have stumped you all

I finally got around to give this one a shot. I don't think I understand the question, or rather what it is you're asking for...
I'll grasp at some straws:
Daniel J. Travanti (Midnight Crossing/Hill Street Blues)
Martin Sheen (Departed/West Wing)
[Allison Janney (Hairspray/West Wing)]
Jon Hamm (Minions/Mad Men)
All three (four) movies star an Oscar-winning actor?

The people are correct, the connections are it being the first thing they did after being the lead actors(1) of the most award winning, and for their time critically dominant, drama series(2). The factoid is that it's actually forgettable roles for all of them, from owning the screen to being a bit part.
1: Lead actor defined as the one who gets Emmy wins for lead actor, it's all ensemble casts after all. Although Martin Sheen was only nominated over and over (a mistake on my part I was convinced he won), hence the Allison switch she won multiple times for lead.
2: L.A. Law also has four nonconsecutive wins, with no lead wins. Breaking Bad only has two series wins, although Bryan Cranston has 4 individual wins.
It was a bit too hard, and a bit too diffuse. New one coming up.

That is Egilsstaðir airport, and I'm guessing you've been stranded there with Atlantic Airways when landing in FAE wasn't possible.

Yupp, in a building that made the old FAE terminal look huge
