NMLQOTM #10

Quiz #10

They said it couldn't be done, but here it is - the tenth edition of the NMLQOTM. Almost 250 songs served - and not a Madonna record in the bunch.

While writing the quiz, I'm occasionally frustrated to come across a favorite song of mine that I can't imagine ever working into a 'hidden theme'. This time the theme can't be any more obvious - in fact, it's so simple that I couldn't possibly imagine "rewarding" the players who "find" it. So....

This time around, your challenge is simply to identify the titles and artists of the 25 songs presented below. As always, the songs are presented in alphabetical order by artist, and scoring will be based on how precisely you have managed to provide the original charting data. As in the last quiz, I think many of these songs will be familiar to all of you.

If you are new to the NMLQOTM - or even if you've played a while now - it's always helpful to review the official rules. Note that precision counts when it comes to scoring the submissions - be sure to give the exact song title and the exact artist attribution for each song; dot your "i"s and cross your "t"s! Watch your p's, q's, commas and "the"s!

The submission deadline for this quiz will be Friday, March 10th at 11:59 pm (eastern).
