(October 13, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 70! 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.
We took the week off last week but we’re back now with this milestone edition. This round’s category — “The Class of 1970” — are clues concerning recording artists who made their first appearance on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1970.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! The theme from last time — “Uncredited Guest Vocalists” generated 11 respondents — six of whom got perfect scores!
How will you fare this week? Think you know your trivia about artists who made their first Hot 100 appearances in 1970? There’s only one way to find out: keep reading and 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 remember to include your name if you’re posting a comment here so we can give proper credit, and please don’t be that person who posts answers publicly on social media and spoils it for everyone.
All correct entries will be recognized in the next Music Jeopardy! post. The prize, as always: eternal bragging rights.
