I got the entire right column, and only 4 in the left column. Combination of my age and the quality of music in the left hand column, I think. They make great choices for a trivia quiz (I would certainly call many of them trivial:)

"Smooth" by Santana (1999) is a better known song but i guess including that as the hint would make it too easy.

The contemporary stuff is really obscure... no wonder that the first four are the least-guessed. Whatever, I'm going to listen to some SatB or Stranglers to forget this quiz :p.

Sam Smith and Shawn Mendes are both bona-fide pop stars with at least half a dozen hits each.

I'm sad at the lack of hard rock on this. I would've liked to see Slipknot, System of a Down, Shinedown, Skillet, Sabaton, Scorpions…

So the "musical act by letter using first name" is so ridiculous. If you went to the library looking for Shakespeare, would you look up W for William?

Sia would be a good addition. Smashmouth would be an awful addition. Could also throw on Soul Asylum, Sonic Youth, etc..

There are so many musical acts starting with S. I created a sequel and could probably do a part 3.

So, if it goes on First Names - how come Simon and Garfunkel get in there ? or is it a trick question ? I know my PAUL SIMON better than my Shawn Mendes.

It's based on the name of the musical act. Which for this one is Simon and Garfunkel. If the songs listed were You Can Call Me Al and Graceland it would be under P for Paul Simon.

Can I suggest giving the performer of "Nothing Compares 2 U" some credit for their quite good original material and making the second clue their only other Billboard Top 100 single- "The Emperor's New Clothes"

Despite knowing they were from Seattle, that "Nothing Compares 2 U" wasn't theirs, and that it starts with 'N,' my fingers still automatically typed "Nirvana" when I saw "All Apologies."

Oye Como Va and Black Magic Woman are both covers and should be italicized. The original version of Oye Como Va was by Tito Puente, while the original version of Black Magic Woman was by Fleetwood Mac.

I will never get used to this new thing where people alphabetize by first name rather than last name.
