Noone scored full marks in last week’s two album decade quiz, but congratulations to the two contestants tied on 39/40 – KingClover and Geoff Stephen.
This week you need to match artists with their first number-one hit. It’s eclectic, with everyone from Neil “the Hannukah Hunk” Diamond to Sean “SPeezy” Paul.

It was interesting how some artists had their first #1 hit far later than I would have expected. Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Cher, Billy Joel, and Taylor Swift were all extremely successful before they topped the Billboard single charts.
Can you beat my score of 22?

I only got 14. It was too hard for me. I kept mixing up all those hip hop ones from the ’90s.
1990s hip hop isn’t my strength either – I should really get more acquainted with some of it.
I remembered the titles and the artists but not who did which one.
22/25. Messed up 1 rap one I should have known and 2 I didn’t.
Great work!
10/25 Clueless on the ones I missed also 🙁
Thanks for playing!
You’re welcome 🙂
14/25. Anybody who can span Simon and Garfunkel to Flo Rida is a genius as far as I’m concerned.
I don’t know much about Flo Rida, but apparently he hasn’t released an album since 2012 and is considering getting into country rap.
I’m on the edge of my seat awaiting that.
25/25 with 54 seconds remaining.
Wow – it was a tough-ish one this week, so good effort.
21 – knew 15 for sure, 6/10 on the guesses, i’ll take it!
Yup, good guessing.
I only got 10/25. A lot of modern pop of which I am clueless
I’m not a huge Ludacris fan.
After an easy 16 in a row, I got stumped by everything from 2003 & afterwards, so 16/25 for me.
All square numbers! Hope you had a good Christmas break.
14 man…that is sad…too many after 95 or so…
Decent score anyway!
