It looks like noone scored more than 24/28 in last week’s royal artists quiz. Congratulations to Rich and J who tied for the best score.
This week you need to name the artist, based on their top five Spotify songs.

I scored 20 in 01:48 – can you beat my time?
I really like this series of Spotify quizzes – they cover lots of stylistic and chronological ground. There’s quite a franchise of them – there are 11 to date. I’m thinking of running it as a series over the next ten weeks, keeping track of everyone’s scores over the period. Are people keen for this?

19/20. No way on earth I’d get the “car” guys. But Sugar, Sugar?
Good score. The one hit wonder type artists are funny, because one song totally dominates the Spotify plays. There are a few more in the upcoming quizzes.
Don’t know if you saw it but I, too, voted for 10 more of these.
Got it! And a leaderboard?
Sure. Or if you prefer, lederhosen.
Somehow I got 20/20 but didn’t come close to your time. Finished with 2:05 left on the clock. I like this format since I can use song titles OR (very tiny) album artwork to figure out the answers. I’m also glad it was pointed out by you or one of your readers recently that you only have to enter the last name, which is a real time saver.
Great score. I like how the format has images too. Are you keen for 10 more?
I only just realised you can often do last name for band names as well. Sometimes the quiz takes acronyms like RHCP or CCR too, depends how it was set up.
I’m game for another 10 of these.
I’m game for another 10 as well.
20/20 with 1:53 left, lucky that I at least know one song from each artist
Seeing Alice Cooper in the quiz, did you watch the Fire Fight Australia concert? For me, it was good fun watching Alice Cooper and Queen + Adam Lambert performing.
Great work! I didn’t see the Fire Fight Australia concert. Queen + Adam Lambert played here a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t go, but it was all over my Facebook feed with friends going.
SCORE
17/20
The Archies took me by surprise but I knew them.
Good effort! I was surprised by them too – so much so that I even blanked out on ‘Sugar Sugar’, but one of their other songs had the word “Archies” in it.
I knew it…I guess I can mention it now…I just happened to know that top Garbage song…that almost got me.
19/20…the pictures of the albums helped a lot except for that one I couldn’t name.
Great effort! Pictures are helpful sometimes, despite their size.
20/20 with 57 seconds left.
And sure, 10 more please.
Great effort. Seems like we’re going to do some more of these.
19/20. I don’t know The Archies who are going on the explore list
I only know their one hit – ‘Sugar Sugar’. They mark a divergence – throughout a lot of the 1960s in rock music, there was a decent correlation between what sold well and what was critically acclaimed (like The Beatles). The Archies messed with that.
19 – and I’m moderately ashamed as a student was just talking about Kevin Parker in class the other day, I just didn’t know any of the songs!
New album last week too.
18 for me. I would never have gotten one of them and maybe should have gotten the other (I mean, have I been living in a cave or what!?).
And yup, chalk me down for being interested in some more of these.
Good score. Looks like a bunch more Spotify to come.
19 of 20 – could have looked at it forever and would never have gotten the ‘opposite of wild” car name one. I definitely would be up for a series of these!
Cool. Good luck!
20/30 with 3:55 left to go on the clock
