Today's album

An album is picked for the day and everyone gets the same one. You have six tries, and each guess is compared by artist, decade of release, country and genre.

Green means the same, amber on the decade means within ten years, and the arrow says whether the answer is older or newer than your guess.

333 of them, written by hand and then checked one by one against each artist's discography, from the 1950s to the 2020s and from 20 countries.

Because it changes from edition to edition. A reissue with bonus tracks and the original release give different numbers for the same record, and a column has to be defensible cell by cell. It is the same reason the book challenge has no page count.

The original release, not the remaster and not the reissue. A record from 1973 reissued in 2013 is still in the 1970s.

No. Lyrics are someone else's work and are not reproduced here, not even in part. The clue is only what the four columns tell you.
