Every Friday, we'll have a fun pop quiz on what's been happening in the world of music every week.

Who turns down an opportunity to assume a smug sense of self-importance by out-scoring your friends and colleagues on pop trivia? If you've been glued to our Music News section this week, this will be easy-peasy. If not, well, you know what to do next week.

We'll post the answers here on Monday morning.

Good luck!
