Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)
Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.
Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.
After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.
Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.
I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.
In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.
In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.
Here goes!

400. Never heard of that first album!
It was new to me a few years ago – more country than my usual cuppa, but I liked it!
200…
The 200 streak is back?!
Alas…
that’s ok, I don’t think it’ll last long!
400.
Nice work Amrita!
400, I think I saw her live, I am however not sure.
Probably worth seeing her again then, just to make sure!
That is a thought, I haven’t been to a concert all year it seems.
Struggled to score points this week but I’m happy I made a new discovery thanks to your quiz 🙂
My thanks Chris – I reckon the points will return next week!
400 for me. I’d never guess this artist was on the 1001 list.
Nice work Steve – and not many Canadians are on the list, but she’s on it twice!
Totally clueless here but luckily recognized the title of the second album so 400.
Nice work on the album title, HMO!
Saw her live in Melbourne. What a voice. Interesting audience too. A great night.
500 please Mr Music.
I’d love to see her live, what a voice indeed Bruce!
500 points asI still remember the artist playing the Junos that year and of course this artist has a co write on the Stones track ‘Anybody Seen My Baby’ as the Stones tune sounded similar to Constant Craving so Mick and Keef to avoid a lawsuit credited this artist with a co write…
Pretty Cool
I hadn’t picked up on the similarities at the time – but when I heard about the co-write credit, probably a wise move.
And speaking of wisdom, nice work this week Deke!
Thanks Sir!
400. She is fantastic! Mad I didn’t get it at 500, but completely spaced on that album.
It happens, the main thing is you’re a fan!
300. I’ve never been a fan.
300’s a fine score, considering!
100! Oof, not a great week for me!
I reckon you’ll bounce back next week Milo!
500 each for me and Mika
A fantastic household score this week James & Mika!
500!
Spectacular work Sarca!
I’ll take 300 this time.
Nice work D!
400. I’ll never catch up to Sarca at this rate!
I’ll try to make obscure clues with ACDC as the answer for the next 6 weeks!
400. I haven’t had Mac and cheese in years
I’m pleased your lack of recent mac & cheese didn’t impact your score!
100 for me. Meh.
Still on the board Joe!
400 for me!
Well played J!
500 easy peasy
Exemplary work Mike!
I see CDs by this artist at work ALL THE TIME. 500 just from sheer repetition!
I’m surprised her CDs are for resale – the 2 I have are keepers!
