I am sooo not in touch with popmusic haha I dont recognize ANY of the songs, only with take me to church I here a piece of a song in my head, and only I think because it has continuously been used in some commercial, whether it be spotify or on (m)tv. Because I remember only the same 3 seconds over and over, no idea about the rest of the song.

So I started guessing names you hear a lot about lately, I got sheeran, bieber, adele and rihanna ( and expected swift and grande) Then I was out of guesses haha.

Ow and all of me reminded me of an old jazz standard ! but figured that wasnt it. And actually, looking at the results, John legend is the only name I recognize ! ow and timberlake. The rest could ve been made up for all I know. No idea.

That's the spirit! I'm so tired of the, "popular music sucks today," and, "I scored 0 and I'm proud!" attitude. People really need to be more open-minded, especially on a website like Jetpunk that rewards broad cultural knowledge. One of the people on the list (Kendrick) got a Pulitzer for his music for God's sake!
