(September 30, 2025) – Welcome to the 26th edition of Music Jeopardy! As always, the blog provides the clues… and you provide the responses. Each clue has point values — no dollars! The player(s) with the most points gets bragging rights.
This round’s category — “That Was Only Their 2nd Biggest Hit?” — is about iconic No. 1 songs that were only the second-biggest hits by the artists who recorded them. We’ll provide these clues about songs whose rank in the artist’s repertoire of hits may surprise you, you give the correct responses.
Think you know the answers? There’s only one way to find out: read on!
Post your guesses in the “Your Thoughts” box below, DM me on social media, or email me. Please don’t be that person who posts your responses publicly on social media and spoils it for everyone.
All correct entries will be recognized in the next Music Jeopardy! post. The prize, as always: eternal bragging rights.
Below are this week’s five clues plus three bonuses. Answers to MJ25 (“It Takes Two Rockers to Make It Roll”) are at the end, along with last week’s winners.
Clue 1: 100 pts
