Loaded Questions 11/7/22 - Pop Music
Wow! That's Loud
Happy LL95 MD1 everyone! Hope you’ve got a lot of right answers in you this season. But even if you don’t, there’s still plenty of time to start picking stuff up! As I’ve done with previous LL seasons, I’m starting our season with a little current music rundown, especially of music and artists that has been big since the beginning of last season. You might be like me and have both “Aja” and “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” on vinyl, but that isn’t going to help you out when they ask about the current Billboard charts! Good luck on this set of questions (and on MD1), and looking forward to bringing you all kinds of questions this season!
