Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who scored the fastest 20/20 in last week’s quiz.
Someone made a ton of these Greatest Hits quizzes. We didn’t start at number 1, but we’re down to #24.
This week’s challenge involves distinguishing between a bevy of blondes, including Alison Krauss, Anastacia, and Robyn.
Are you up for it?

I scored 17/20 – I had little idea who Matt Monro was.
In a similar vein, we lost British/Australian yodeller Frank Ifield this week. He helped fill the early 1960s pop charts, before being rendered obsolete overnight by The Beatles. Here’s ‘She Taught Me To Yodel’!

16/20 with 1:02 left (why do I bother putting my time on here, I know someone will 20/20 it)
We’ll see if anyone gets 20/20.
Sorry to hear about Ifield’s passing. I can see where The Beatles would outperform a yodeler. That said, yodeling does have a certain charm to it.
I’m not exactly a devoted Ifield fan – I’d never heard him before this year. It’s hard to imagine a world where yodelling was topping the charts.
Singing Cowboys were a thing in movies for awhile. I remember Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, Glen Campbell (in True Grit remake.)
oh yes, Hank Williams sang in a yodeling kind of way also…
18/20 for me this week. Screwed up with Kool Moe Dee and Chris DeBurgh, both of which I guessed wrong.
I know Chris de Burgh’s logo for some reason – no idea why, because I really hate ‘Lady in Red’.
SCORE
18/20 I did much better than I thought I would have.
Good work – I’ve been impressed by the high scores so far.
18/20… I think I got all the blondes right!
Looks like most people have done well on the blondes, actually. Surprising!
20/20 with 2:01 left on the clock and some very lucky guesses
Perfect score, fast time!
16/20 …with a few guesses that worked out
Great effort!
17/20…too many I didn’t know.
17 is pretty solid anyway.
It came down to a guess between Robyn and Anaastacia…and I made the wrong guess. So only 19/20 for me this week. Damn, so close to perfection…and I would have beaten Tony’s time by 30 seconds.
I like Robyn. Anastacia seemed like an obscure choice though – big for about 5 seconds twenty years ago.
I got 12/20 with one minute and 15 seconds left, which I’m ok with! Thanks for the quiz!
Good puzzling it out.
Thanks for the music lesson!
