(April 28, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 50! 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 week, our “Ten Years Since Prince” theme had four respondents — all of whom achieved a perfect score! How will this week’s players fare? Keep reading!
This round’s category — “A 50/50 Scenario” — is a commemoration of the 50th edition of Music Jeopardy. We provide clues about songs that peaked at No. 50 on the charts, you guess the correct responses.
Think you know your chart trivia? There’s only one way to find out: play along!
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.
