Congratulations to Sheik Yerbouti, who scored a perfect 20/20 in last week’s quiz. There were lots of strong 18s and 19s too.
I apologise in advance if this week’s quiz is a little tricky for some regular quiz participants – it covers the 2010s:

I scored 13/20 – I made it to 10, then engaged in a string of guesses which were mostly unsuccessful. I was lucky that I had an argument with my 6 year old daughter yesterday about the lyrics of ‘Dynamite’. I wouldn’t have known who sang it otherwise (and I was wrong about the lyrics – I always thought they said “Galileo”….).
Can you beat my score?

Hee-hee-hee. Yeah, right. Who are these people again? Pass.
Wow, that was an exercise in futility. Although I finished with 4/20 I really only knew one (thank you, Pharrel Williams) and then just randomly clicked. I listened to plenty of new music throughout the 2010s but none of it came close to the pop charts.
You’re winning so far! There’s not a whole lot of crossover with stuff I’m into either.
3 right and 1 was a guess, with :51 to go.
Thanks for playing!
SCORE
4/20
Yea….ain’t happening. I remembered some videos that helped get 4
I scored 19/20 with 3:47 remaining. Even though I’m likely one of the oldest guys in the bloggerverse, I’m pretty current when it comes to music.
I think you got more than all the previous entrants!
20/20 w/ 4:07 left – Got about 3/4 of them and just matched the rest out of memory.
I don’t think anyone’s going to beat you this week.
15/20.
Ooh, good work.
I passed! 12/20, was pleased to know 8, some rough guessing work on the rest
Good job on the pass.
12/20 and I have no issue with that. Having googled I’m not sure I’d want to know a Post Malone song and it was pure luck that what turned out to be the One Republic song was playing on the office sound system as I played
I don’t really like Post Malone at all.
6/20 – blahhh
Far from the lowest score this week.
Yeesh. I was ready to tear this quiz a new hole and then I got dose of reality. 4/20.
It’s interesting that you did pretty well in the 2000s one.
I know! I was in high school and college in the ’00s so I think that helped. I started getting pickier and gravitated more toward the indie stuff for a while after that, but I was completely surprised at how much I didn’t recognize at all here.
I think at least a couple of my guesses were due to having small-ish children who gravitate to pop music.
Yeah, I have two very young girls right now. I’m looking forward to being an expert on 2030s pop music.
Nope. I think I may have know three of these songs. Fail.
Having small daughters helps me keep up with modern pop more than I would otherwise.
10 for me this week. I knew 6 of them and the rest was pure guess work. I’m happy with that!
10 is a solid score for sure.
I think one is Havana, and maybe one is a bride (The Bride). And A-Team is back? I dunno man, if the 2000s were tough, this is too!
I didn’t know the ATeam song.
I know the A-Team theme, of course, but I couldn’t tell you which 2010s song warranted the use of their image in this quiz!
After doing the quiz, I learned it was Ed Sheeran – I had no idea, as I’m not really a fan.
I know that name, at least!
