(May 12, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 52! 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 “Número Uno el Cinco de Mayo” theme had eight respondents — five of whom achieved a perfect score! How will this week’s players fare? Keep reading!
This round’s category — “Seasons 52” — is a convenient play on the restaurant chain in our 52nd edition but really isn’t about Lowry’s or McCormick’s. It’s about seasons in music. And what better way to commemorate a full year’s worth of Music Jeopardy than with a nod to all four seasons. We provide the clues, you guess the correct responses.
Think you know your music 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.
