Congratulatons to EclecticMusicLover, who easily won last week’s never had a #1 single. He scored 26/29, 3 ahead of J’s 23, while no one else scored over 20.
This week’s quiz is a little confusing. You need to select the named album, but the grid flashes with decoy albums. It took me a while to realise that timing doesn’t matter – each square has a correct answer and a decoy answer, and as long as you click on the correct square it doesn’t matter if you click while the decoy is on.

I scored 18/18 – can you equal my score and beat my time of 1:01 remaining?

Couldn’t do it. Too confusing. I thought I was gonna have a seizure any minute.
I should have put a health warning on it…
Impressive work by Eclectic and J last week. This week I got 18/18 with 1:13 left on the clock. A couple of times I was sure I clicked the box as it changed but I guess I was fast enough. Like Jim, a seizure was likely if I spent any more time on this quiz.
Ooh, you’re the fastest so far. I don’t think timing matters, as long as you hit the correct box.
7/18 and ran out of time. It was a tough one. I know I could have done better with more time.
Just did it again and got 8/18. There are a bunch of familiar albums in there that aren’t part of the listed titles, which makes it even more confusing. I’m happy with my score.
Yup, there are 18 dummy albums in there – but not Portishead’s Dummy.
Fun premise on this one! I got 18/18 with 0:53 left, but yes, headaches.
Great work – I think you’re in the lead so far.
Nah, I think out of everyone who got them all I’m the slowest.
Sorry got my wires a bit crossed…
Miss clicked on a few…just not fast enough tonight 15/18
It took me ages to realise that the albums were staying in the same place, just toggling.
That was me…I clicked too late a couple of times.
I was a complete flop on this one. Hated the quiz, hated the format. Got only 12/18.
Sorry! Hopefully next week suits you better.
I’ve always had terrible hand-eye coordination.
I guess I didn’t understand it cuz I only got 56% even though I clicked on all the correct ones.
Weird – I don’t know what happened there.
I think you just had to click on it at the exact right moment or something.
18/18 w/ 1:27 left – an easy quiz.
Going back to the ABBA ranking, I like ABBA but there is a song from one of the members I like more than any of the ABBA songs and it’s ‘I Know There’s Something Going On’ by Frida, with Phil Collins on drums, backing vocals & producer. It sounds amazing.
I actually featured that song a few months back on a quiz post – https://albumreviews.blog/2021/06/10/music-quiz-building-the-beatles/ I’d never heard it until another reader pointed it out.
I think you’re in the lead now.
18 / 18 with 1:05 left. It did take a second to realize what you meant, but once you got it, easy.
Great work. I stared at the screen for a while trying to figure out what was happening….
15 of 18 – yes a bit of a distracting quiz but got doomed by the more recent pop albums from Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift
I liked their pop selections actually – I’ve never spent much time with Lady Gaga but 1989 and Sweetener are both excellent pop albums in my book.
Yes nothing against them just not as familiar with them
18/18 with 1:41 left on the clock. I’ve had a lot of coffee and that quiz (and the page’s cumulative layout shift) has given me a real trip, great quiz though
Ooh, fastest time. I don’t know if that counts as CLS….
I’m with you, Jim. Seemed kinda dumb, really, like staring at a strobe light.
Fair enjoyed that (though I’m not suremy eyes appreciated it). 18/18 with 1:14 remaining.
Good work – not quite as fast as Tony, but I think you beat almost everyone else.
17/18 with 1:17 to go.
Great work!
Not enough to beat you this week, but thanks!
