(September 29, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 69! 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 — “Uncredited Guest Vocalists” — are clues related to big pop hits in which key artists were not given label credit for their vocals.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! The theme from last time — “The Soul of 68!” generated 10respondents — eight of whom got perfect scores (and two of whom did not provide names with their answers)! How will this week’s players fare?
Think you know your trivia about singers who didn’t get the credit they deserved? 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.
Below are this week’s five clues plus three bonuses! Answers to last week’s MJ68 are at the end, along with last week’s winners. This week’s contest closes at 11:59 pm on Monday, October 5, 2026.
