Welcome back to the Spotify quiz series. We had ten contestants in the first week of Spotify quizzes, and the leaderboard looks like this:
| Participant | Week 1 | Total |

There are 12 quizzes in the series to date, so you have lots of time to catch up.
Feel free to join in, even if you missed the first week – you can look at https://albumreviews.blog/category/sporcle/ for the previous week’s quiz if you’d like to complete that too.
I thought week 2 was a little harder than week 1 – I scored 18 this week. But the average quiz score is actually higher, so who knows?

17/20. There was one I would not have gotten in a million years, another that I might have gotten if I had thought about it.
Good score – I think everyone will be a little lower this week.
Sorry I bit your head off the other day.
18/20 with just over a minute left.
Same scores so far – wonder if we got the same ones wrong? I missed the singing TV family and the recent white rap/crossover guy.
I missed that family too but a recent Spin article tipped me off on that dude with the doodles all over his face. It was Belinda Carlisle’s former group that got me
18/20
Didn’t get the condiment group and another
Good score, but your meals will be bland without those condiments.
lol yes they will be.
18/20 for me with about 2-1/2 minutes remaining before I tried a few unsuccessful guesses. I really like this format.
Good effort – there will be lots of people on 38 next week.
Tougher as you said. 14/20.
Looks like most people’s scores are down a bit.
17/20 this week… few in there that I just wasn’t ever going to get so I hit the ‘give up’ button with about a minute 20 left.
Good job! I normally end up giving up if I don’t know them all.
18/20 for me too this week.
Looks like lots of people will be on 38 going into next week.
19 – my students would be disappointed with the current artist that I missed, most seem to be big fans, didn’t recognize any of his song names alas!
You’ve joined the peloton on 38/40, but gone about it a slightly different way. I always assumed the current guy wouldn’t be something I’d enjoy.
He was in a Superbowl ad this year – and in my marketing class, it made for a good discussion about target audiences. As the ad was clearly geared towards them (I can’t remember what the product was) & another Jeep ad, recreating scenes from the film Groundhog Day, was cleared geared towards my demographic!
19 for and I knew the songs on the one I didn’t know thanks to my kids, but I didn’t know the name of the artist.
Great job. Don’t Post the name – some people haven’t done the quiz yet… 😉
Don’t worry I won’t.
OK. Just making sure you don’t POST it.
I got it. Man I’m slow!!!😂
20/20 – the difficult ones are the artists who sang ‘Copacabana’, the condiments and a family of some sort but I finally got there.
I know the first one through The Beach Boys connection – Bruce Johnston wrote that song for him. Great effort – I think most people are on 38/40, so you have a lead.
15 of 20 – coffee hadn’t kicked in and could not for the live of me remember the medical procedure one and the girl group – was driving me nuts. The others i wouldn’t have gotten.
The medical procedure one?
Wasn’t one of them spinal tap? Like I said coffee hadn’t kicked in
Oops, forgot that one!
