(February 24, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 41! 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.
Last time, our Valentine’s themed clues had seven respondents with five achieving a perfect score. Moving forward, while all participants will be acknowledged, only the winning scores will be shown.
After taking a week off, we’re back with a new set of clues. This round’s category — “Black Music History” — is in honor of the 100th anniversary Black History Month celebration honoring Black lives and achievements.
Think you know these unique musical accomplishments in Black music history? 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. And, if you’re sending an anonymous comment, please remember to include a name or alias so we can give proper credit.
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 last puzzle’s MJ40 (“What is Love?❤️”) are at the end, along with that week’s winners. This week’s contest closes at 11:59 pm on Monday, March 2, 2026.
