1. Heh! Worst score ever. I barely know who these people are and I couldn’t possibly care less. So I just took it for the hell of it. 9/25 of which there were two for which I recognized the titles, the rest I flipped a coin.

   • Some other scores have been pretty close to yours….

2. I’m aware of about half these artists but don’t know many of their popular songs. I was able to get 10/25 with only a couple of wrong guesses before time ran out, which is significantly better than I expected. At least I beat Jim by 1. Hahaha.

   • There’s a big spread in scores this week.

3. 16/25. I went through once and knew a few, then guessed at the rest as the clock ran down. I hadn’t even heard of some of the artists, let alone the song titles! I consider it lucky I guessed this many.
   I hadn’t realized I’d pulled off a win last week, though. Cool beans!

   • Yup, J and Tony had exactly the same time until you decided it.

     • And here I was just thinking I was lucky to survive it!

4. 22/25 here with a LOT of guesswork

   • Good guessing! If you can get a few, it really helps with the guessing.

5. Week #2 of sucking!! 10/25 as time ran out. Good news I hadn’t actually missed any at that point.

   • Sounds like time management is your issue!

     • That is only one of many issues I have!!

       • I don’t think 2010s pop is your strongest genre?

         • Nope.

6. I got only 10/25! I’m shocked, shocked I say, as I should have known more of them. Also, the test time is too brief.

   • Thanks for playing! I think I knew about 15 or so, and was able to guess the rest from there.

7. Pass…7/25

   • Hopefully next week is more up your alley.

     • I’m going to get my son to do that one…I want to see how he will score.

       • It’s pretty heavy on pop so it might not be his thing still.

         • Yea he is more indie when it comes to newer music but I am going to get him to try

         • He did ok….16/25…the music he listens to is like Foster The People and Bon Iver…those are the ones I can think of.

         • Good work!

8. I gave up after 20 seconds as none looked familiar 🙁 I’m out of the loop for the last decade (at least!)

   • I recognise that most quiz participants are stronger on old stuff, but I like to mix it up sometimes.

     • I’m always happy to see a new challenge even if I’m not up to it 🙂

9. Well, I considered 15/25 a win considering most of those were guesses.

   • Good guesswork!

10. 25/25 w/ 49 seconds left – not surprising for me as I am 21.

    • Great work! I think you might be the winner this week…

11. Oooft. 10/25. Think I got 3 before I resorted to guesswork.

    • I think that’s a mid-table score this week!

12. 8 of 25 scraping the bottom – I knew like 6, guessed a few more (with a number of misses) and then ran out of time.

    • I think people would prefer a quiz from a different decade next week!
