Congratulations to Rich Kamerman, who scored the only 24/24 on last week’s quiz.
This week, we’re looking at “Shopping Receipts” from artists – they’re actually tracklists with track times. I liked how it covered a wide variety of music.

I scored 20/24 – I drew a total blank on one prominent 2010s boyband where I just couldn’t remember the name, but would never have got the other three.
Can you beat my score?

8/24 and ran out of time. I went through the list afterwards and see that they blanked out title tracks that could have identified them, which is frustrating. Looking at the list of those I missed, I feel lucky I got the 8 I did. Toughest quiz so far for me.
Yeah, it’s a tough one this week. I think it wouldn’t be enough of a challenge with the title tracks in there though.
A paltry 13/24 for me this week. Should have gotten two others (both of whom I’ve covered in great detail at my blog), but I made the mistake of doing this quiz while listening to music.
I normally have music on for stuff. I totally couldn’t remember the name of One Direction though.
8/24. I never heard of half of this shit. I’m not the target demographic.
6/24…Kinda like my Math scores from when I was in back in Grade 9!
I wonder if there’s a correlation? I was always pretty good at math.
A dismal 13/24 for me. Just didn’t recognize several of them.
13 is a pretty good score for this week – they’ve been all over the place.
SCORE This one was hard.
14/24
14 is pretty respectable I think.
23/24 – only one I didn’t know (the album that started with ‘Intro’ and ‘Midnight City’). There were some that were difficult but you try to figure clues with the receipts, like the album with all untitled tracks, I just try to find the country where that artist is from.
There were 3 I had little idea in – I don’t really know that Midnight City band at all, but they sound like the kind of thing I’d enjoy.
I got 17/24. I would have gotten one more correct but I kept spelling Belle and Sebastian wrong, even when I used voice text it still spelled it wrong. And when I tried to put the title instead I got that wrong too.
Belle and Sebastian is hard to spell. Sometimes it just takes the last word of a band, depending on how the quiz is configured.
I guess I was forgetting the E at the end of Belle. And then when I tried the title instead, I forgot that Tiger Milk was all one word. idk
Normally spaces don’t matter, I think?
12/24 and then I just gave up. That was hard. The ones with the album pictures behind the receipt helped a lot.
Yup, I liked how there were little hints like watermarks and city names.
Yes, but didn’t help!!
Great idea for a quiz. Would certainly have a go at one set in a particular decade.
Beyond my skill to make one, unfortunately.
18/24. I almost missed one by one of my favourites. I thought, it couldn’t be them, could it? Sure enough. Tough quiz, that one.
Yup, there’s been a wide range of scores this week.
23/24 – I was failed by the album containing Mmm… Skyscraper I Lover You, wouldn’t have got it in a month of Sundays
I know of the band, but aside from some album titles I don’t know much about them.
Well, then I suggest that you learn, because Underworld is great. Ha ha. I wouldn’t start with that particular album though.
Missed this last week and just as well 10 of 24; some I didn’t know the album some I’ve never heard of the group!
You made double figures, which is good! These are tough – I think it will burn people out if we feature all of them.
