We’ve had 20 weeks of Spotify quizzes – congratulations to Sheik Yerbouti for the overall victory. Sheik scored 390 of a possible 400, which is equivalent to only missing one clue every second week over the competition. Tony finished a very close second, only one point behind first place, while Scott led the peloton with 374. Congratulations to everyone who hung in there for the full 20 weeks. I publicly displayed holes in my musical knowledge – looks like I need to bone up on Snoop Dogg and take flight with The Yardbirds.
Here are the official results:
| Participant | Week 20 | Total |
| Sheik Yerbouti | 20 | 390 |
| Tony | 20 | 389 |
| Scott | 18 | 374 |
| Geoff (1001) | 17 | 371 |
| jprobichaud | 18 | 369 |
| Rich Kamerman | 17 | 364 |
| John (2loud2old) | 17 | 350 |
| Max (badfinger20) | 15 | 348 |
| Paul | 14 | 305 |

I’m very impressed with those high scorers. That was a tough 20 weeks but I think I got through it pretty well. This week’s quiz was right in my wheelhouse. An easy 30/30 with 4:15 left on the clock.
Good effort – you might have a good shot of winning this week.
Only 25/30 for me this week. Oh those 80s and the lyrics.
Like Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus over the Serengeti – let’s compare a mountain to another smaller mountain….
SCORE
27/30… curse you…I now have Bon J in my head.
Well I wasn’t far away from going up a notch or two…I’ll try to better next time. It was a lot of fun.
You were halfway there? You were living on a prayer?
Oh that is pure evil…
30/30 – easy one. I’ll happily take my crown for the Spotify quizzes
30/30 with 2:46 left on the clock
Great ghost busting!
30 – I had to skip a couple and then come back by process of elimination.
Thanks for hosting the quizzes, I am delighted to earn what my brother calls the “Canada Bronze” (as in the Olympics, we tend to finish well but just off the podium) – 4th place!
Good work! I’ve just been reading a book about Canadian wheat from the 1950s.
some recreational reading!
Bedtime story.
30/30 with a few processes of elimation there
Good elimination processes!
30/30, 3:06 left. Woot! Had to keep skipping some of them till I was down to the vital few. Then the answers for those were obvious.
Great work – great to have back on board!
Yes, please make sure I can win them all in the future. Thanking you in advance.
Blues-based rock next week?
No, don’t be silly. Next twenty.
Oh yeah baby – 30 for 30 with 2:51 left; i guess 80s music is my thing. Nice change from the Spotify marathon. 🙂
New Beths album dropped this weekend too!
Cool. Thanks for the heads up. Will check it out! They are still supposed to perform here in DC end of August but we’ll see – the way things are heading here in world corona central here in US they may be want to stay down under
I haven’t got to it yet as I’ve been away but I hear it’s good, but more mellow than the first.
And want to give kudos to our winners in the Spotify challenge – I am humbled to be in the presence of such vast musical knowldege. And thanks Graham for doing these – they are definitely a highlight of my week.
Glad you’re enjoying them – I think it will be more fun going back to diversity.
