(July 14, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 60! 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.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! Last week’s theme — “Red, White and Billboard” generated ten respondents — five of whom achieved a perfect score. How will this week’s players fare?
This round’s category — “Diamond Jubilee!” — is in recognition of the 60th edition — the Diamond Edition — of Music Jeopardy.
Think you know all about diamonds in music? 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.
