Tom from West Mifflin, PA is this month's quiz winner and will receive a cool and comfortable SongFacts t-shirt.

Here are some notes for a few of the questions.

#5 had many different guesses, but many were of trios, bands or solo artists, instead of duos and/or didn't have the word "rap" in the title.

#8 had many guesses also, but many were of groups that had one, three, or more hits on the U.S. Hot 100 chart instead of two and a few others had a year without an album release in that time period.
