Same score, but got the song and missed the Italian (not sure I’ve ever heard of him, actually). Posthumous release was the key for the song, for me. ---

Crazy peak around getting 6 right today (as I did). 4 with 10% or less and 6 with over 60%. Although now I see that @Lsura and @hogarth actually got different ones right. My results matched @hogarth. I had no idea the 2026 picture had a name. ---
