The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: Week 272

Charlie Herbert

I’m so quizzy, my head is spinning!

Hello again.

It’s that time of year once more. You can’t avoid it. It’s everywhere you go, and if you don’t like it then tough, people are still going to shout it from the rooftops.

No, I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m of course on about Spotify Wrapped season!

Yes, every story is clogged up with people brandishing their music stats from 2021, sharing the music that soundtracked their year.

Meanwhile, those of use who don’t have Spotify just sit back and judge, slightly envious that our music streaming service of choice *cough* Apple Music *cough* doesn’t offer quite the same colourful service. (and if you want to see what your Spotify Wrapped says about you, click here).

Enjoy your Spotify Wrapped, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear lord….

Anyway, it’s time for something much more fun than Spotify Wrapped: the quiz! Feel free to collate your scores and stats from the year and share that to your story instead.

Enjoy!
