Congratulations to Sheik Yerbouti, who recorded the fastest time in last week’s Who quiz.
I didn’t watch the Grammy ceremony this week, although I read the winners with sceptical interest. This week’s quiz invites you to identify the 20 artists who have won album of the year and record of the year at the same ceremony.

I scored 19/20 – I missed the 2007 winners. Can you score the perfect 20?

A paltry 16/20 for me. I should have gotten at least 18 so not pleased with my results.
I think 16 will shake out as a pretty good score.
11/20 and ran out of time.
You passed though!
🙂 Thanks!

Award shows are not my thing but I knew more than I thought.
It’ll be interesting where the score falls this week – requires a range of knowledge.
More than I have I’m afraid to say…
Nah, you did fine.
I got 18/20. Couldn’t remember Stan Getz or Ray Charles – which is crazy, as he’s pictured on your post!
You’re winning so far!
17/20 and now I am kicking myself for not using the picture as a clue…dang it.
Normally participants get a bit of a leg up from my choice of image. Good score though.
16 (thanks to your image pick). I could have spent all night looking at those and still not have gotten the others.
Solid score anyway.
17/20 w/ 4:16 left, had no idea about the Gilberto one, Supernatural and Raising Sand.
About the recent Grammys, it was really either ‘Folklore’ or ‘Future Nostalgia’ to win ‘Album of the Year’, either would be fine for me. I don’t think Billie Eilish really wanted to win a Grammy after last year’s sweep.
I would have given it to HAIM – my favourite album on the shortlist. Folklore is also very good, and the first 9 tracks on Future Nostalgia are great before it tails off at the end.
18/20 for me. A couple were pure luck thanks to the auto-fill element but my lack of knowledge about 24k and 2020’s winner failed me.
I was lucky to get 24K…
17 of 20 and then gave up. I stupidly forgot the image at the beginning of your post or would have been 18. 🙂
Exactly the same situation and score as 2loud2old.
12/20. The score is unsurprising, though, because I feel like I may have watched the Grammys maybe twice in my life and neither of those times was in the last three decades.
I watched it a bit back in the late 1990s. I remember thinking Lauryn Hill was really weird, but now I like her.
16/20, gave up with well over 3 minutes left. Once I saw the answers, I cursed my Monday morning brain for missing 1965. Like, seriously.
Good work though – I think you’re above the average.
Thanks! Coulda been 17 if I’d not had a mental block. Ah well.
