Music Quiz: 5 Letter Words in 2010s Songs
Last week’s 1990s quiz was headed for a tie between J. and Tony, before Aaron came in late with a winning time.
This week, let’s jump forward to the 2010s – complete the song titles with 5-letter words.

I scored a perfect 25/25, but I did have to do some educated guessing with the last few and was probably quite lucky.
Do you know your Psy from your Miguel? What did you score?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
Heh! Worst score ever. I barely know who these people are and I couldn’t possibly care less. So I just took it for the hell of it. 9/25 of which there were two for which I recognized the titles, the rest I flipped a coin.

I’m aware of about half these artists but don’t know many of their popular songs. I was able to get 10/25 with only a couple of wrong guesses before time ran out, which is significantly better than I expected. At least I beat Jim by 1. Hahaha.

16/25. I went through once and knew a few, then guessed at the rest as the clock ran down. I hadn’t even heard of some of the artists, let alone the song titles! I consider it lucky I guessed this many.
I hadn’t realized I’d pulled off a win last week, though. Cool beans!

Yup, J and Tony had exactly the same time until you decided it.

Good guessing! If you can get a few, it really helps with the guessing.

I don’t think 2010s pop is your strongest genre?

I got only 10/25! I’m shocked, shocked I say, as I should have known more of them. Also, the test time is too brief.

Thanks for playing! I think I knew about 15 or so, and was able to guess the rest from there.

It’s pretty heavy on pop so it might not be his thing still.

I gave up after 20 seconds as none looked familiar 😦 I’m out of the loop for the last decade (at least!)

I recognise that most quiz participants are stronger on old stuff, but I like to mix it up sometimes.

8 of 25 scraping the bottom – I knew like 6, guessed a few more (with a number of misses) and then ran out of time.
