So, I am creating a trivia contest for work and I need some slightly hard questions which have to do with hip-hop or top 40 of the last five years or so. Anyone have some suggestions?

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just read this article [link] about Sia, who's written a bunch of hits lately -- maybe something about her? Or like, which of these four did she not write? Titanium, Diamonds, Wild Ones, Roar (A: Roar) You could do something similar with Dr. Luke, or others mentioned in the article?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooh, a new Sia album I didn't know about!

Thanks, Cowgirl. Very helpful!

Oops, the Sia album I didn't have is Healing Is Difficult. But it's not a new release, just the 10th anniversary edition.
So no new Sia albums.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

She's really quite an interesting artist. And, near as I can tell, loves playing dress-up:

I have a music question that's probably overly broad, but I'm not sure of a better way to phrase it.
I was checking out this music map [link] , and I realized I don't really know much about the Blues (musically speaking, anyway). I like the sample the map used. Does anyone have suggestions on a) more like that or b) seminal blues albums I should check out, please? At the moment I think I'm more into instrumental than anything with lyrics, if that helps narrow it down. Thanks!

Because books.
You could start with this just to sample a little more.
I don't know a lot of purely instrumental blues, but even the recordings with vocals are going to have long instrumental (i.e. guitar) stretches in them. Robert Johnson, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King are all good places to start.

This would be a good starting point.

OK, thanks! I'll check those links out.
