Round 6 - Music Round
Link to my Spotify playlist is below. If you are participating in the trivia and do not wish to know the answers, you can go to this playlist and press play (no shuffle), then skip through the songs once you think it has been played enough. As long as you don’t shuffle play, the songs will play consecutively after, so you can skip through after listening to 30 seconds of each.
If you are hosting the trivia, then you know the drill.
