Rich Kamerman scored a decisive win in last week’s hits of the 1970s quiz – he didn’t stop until he got enough, and attained the big shot score of 50/50.
This week’s challenge is a bit easier – you need to name a solo artist from three of their hits. It does cover a lot of eras, but it’s a lot easier when you only need to know one of the songs.

Can this smouldering Neil Diamond photograph inspire you to full marks? Can you beat my time of 1:20.
30/30. 3:31 remaining. Easy-peasy this week. Had to guess a few near the end where it was 50/50. And if you think that picture of Neil Diamond was smoldering, what the heck was going on here?

Heh! I would be embarrassed to do a pose that was anything like that. i guess it worked for whatever he was trying to accomplish.. My wife used to work with a woman who saw his every show. She managed to get called on to come up on stage and practically molested the guy.

It is kind of weird there. He looked hotter later in the decade with short hair, plus he did more straightforward adult contemporary by that point.

Well, I guess “hot” is in the eye of the beholder

28/30 w/ 03:32 left. Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars held me back from a perfect run

They didn’t have Uptown Funk for Mars – I guess it’s not a solo single from him, but it would have been more recognisable. Good score anyway.

Wow, I can’t believe I was the only one to 50/50 last week. I’m strutting like a peacock as I type this. Haha. Just got another perfect score but I couldn’t match your time. 30/30 for me with 3:58 remaining.

You’re in the time lead so far. Good thing you didn’t type like a peacock.

Nope. 80%. Whatever that is. I totally bombed out with all the 2000s pop artists.

It’s probably right because my brother in law represented NZ in the maths olympics.

28/30! Though I think it is perhaps a good thing that I couldn’t name Bruno Mars’s greatest hits…

Good score. I enjoy ‘Uptown Funk’ – it’s Ed Sheeran who I don’t enjoy.

Oh yes, I have always liked that too! Ed Sheeran is so insufferable and obnoxious in his mundanity, and I am ashamed to admit that I immediately guessed him…

Dang it…29/30. I got Celine confused with Whitney. Even if I would have gotten them all right, I would have done it in 1:32, so not as fast as you.

26 of 30 – the big current stars I didn’t get since I don’t listen to radio and am not really into them – Rhianna, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Usher. Thought I was heading for a perfect score but SCREECH, off the road into the ditch of current mega stars!
