(January 28, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 38! It’s the weekly music challenge where 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 — “It’s Awards Season!” — honors musical achievements in Grammy and Academy Awards history. Those awards are coming up quickly and by the time the answers to this week’s clues are revealed, we will already know who the 2026 Grammy winners are!
This one should be easy. Think you can guess the clues? There’s only one way to find out: read on!
You can post your responses in the “Your Thoughts” box below (they’ll be withheld from view until the contest closes), DM me on social media, or email me. Please don’t be that person who posts answers 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.
