At 10:21 pm last Thursday evening, Jim the Music Enthusiast asked the question “when will Tony win?” At 10:24pm, Tony clocked in with an impeccable 24/24 in the T Albums by 3 Singles quiz.
This week is the same format, but albums starting with W,X,Y, and Z.

Just like last week, I got two wrong, scoring 18/20. Can you demonstrate your knowledge of Mary J. Blige and Ne Yo, and beat my score?

Ugh…a real stinker for me this week. Got the 12 I knew easily and followed that with 8 incorrect guesses. I really need to shut off whatever music I’m playing when I do these quizzes and focus on the song titles. I would probably have gotten a couple of the ones I missed. Oh well.
Sometimes I don’t move on from the thing I’m guessing until I get it right. That way I get at least one right!
14/20
The guesses didn’t work this week.
The guesses don’t work, they just make you worse.
Yep!
16/20. I got a few good guesses in but ran out of gas. I barely know any hip-hop or rap so I have no hope of winning these.
You held a lead again for a while there.
17/20. I was perfect up to 14 and the wheels fell off from there. Not bad though, methinks.
Yup, you’re in the joint lead so far.
17/20 – fell off at the end, Ne-Yo, Kanye West and Coldplay were my errors.
I missed Ne-Yo too, but you’re in the joint lead so far.
20/20 with 2:09 on the clock. Some good guessing for sure
Great work – I think you know more about Ne-Yo than the rest of us.
Ha! ne-Yo was actually left by default for me. It picked itself.
OK, figured he wasn’t your scene.
I actually like him, he seems like a cool guy (my daughter watches World of Dance or whatever that show is he is judge on). Just don’t know his music.
19/20 – my lack of knowledge of Ne-Yo songs will weigh heavy upon my soul today.
He was pretty big in the 2000s – I totally missed him though.
A pathetic 8.
I know what I know – The Who, The Police, Marvin Gaye, Floyd, Oasis, Whitney, Supremes, CCR. The rest I just don’t know or even care! I don’t lower myself to guess, because the guesses would not be educated! If I don’t know I don’t know.
I still enjoy doing it though.
I like the art of guessing – sometimes it’s pretty clear what genre the songs are from, so I go from there.
Sailed through the first 17 and then went 1 out of 3 on the guesses – better than last week’s 1 out of 8 or 9 though on those guesses!
Same as me!
I agree that there is an art to the educated guess but when you don’t even know who Ne-Yo or Matchbox 20 are it becomes more difficult, same as last week when there seemed to be even more contemporary stuff. I haven’t got a clue about Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande and I couldn’t even name more than two Adele songs (Skyfall and Make You Feel My Love if you’re wondering) – so, I just answer what I know and see how many points that gives me. My score of eight is an accurate reflection of my knowledge (or lack of).
I do much better on the 70s song lyrics/album covers type quizzes though!
I think younger constituents will complain if we stay in the 1970s all the time! I don’t keep up with everything but I find there’s plenty of modern music I enjoy.
In answer to your question….. No, no I cant’….. 13-20. Too many hip/hop & R/B for my rock brain… 🙂
Less hip-hop and R&B this coming week, promise.
