Test your knowledge against Grammy category on Jeopardy!

Jeopardy! is a TV game show where contestants are expected to have knowledge on a wide range of topics. From sports to literature, from history to music, they need to be well-versed in almost everything to excel in the game. On a recent episode that aired on September 25th, the category that stumped the contestants was Grammy Winners for Album of the Year.

Surprisingly, the contestants avoided tackling this category for a significant part of the game. When they finally did, they collectively could only come up with two correct responses. For those of us who consider ourselves music enthusiasts, this was a bit disappointing. After all, how hard can it be to recall some of the biggest Grammy-winning albums?

Let’s take a look at the questions that stumped the contestants. Would you have been able to answer them correctly?

One of the questions that the contestants got right was about Whitney Houston’s soundtrack from ‘The Bodyguard’ winning in 1994. The other correct response was about Judy Garland’s album at Carnegie Hall. But when it came to Taylor Swift, Billy Joel, and Billie Eilish, the contestants drew a blank.

For instance, no one could remember Taylor Swift’s album that won in 2010 or Billy Joel’s album from 1980. Even when the clue referenced Glass Animals and Billie Eilish, the contestants couldn’t come up with the right answers. The complexity of the questions and the pressure of the game surely played a role in their struggles.

It goes to show that even the most knowledgeable contestants can falter when faced with unexpected categories. Jeopardy! is a game of wit and speed, where quick thinking and sharp memory are essential. So next time you tune in to watch the show, see if you can do better than the contestants when it comes to Grammy Winners for Album of the Year. Who knows, you might just surprise yourself!
