Submitted though unsure... I got partway there, at least. I won't know for sure that I'm wrong until someone else gets on the board!
Edit: Weirdly that hasn't happened yet, it's been an hour since the previous (5th) solver and 45 minutes since I submitted. I'm sure I missed it, updates are always quicker than this. But where is everybody?? :-)

I thought I was right, but either I wasn't or the board hasn't updated yet.

Hi all
This is definitely playing out harder than expected!
The Leaderboard is updating correctly, and there are only five correct answers so far.

[Comment redacted because I felt like it was possibly slightly spoilery]
Replacement comment: Probably should have known, but on the other hand I think I could have spent all week on this and still submitted the same wrong answer, so I'm just as happy to crash and burn early...

I could kick myself... 99% of the way there and took the/a wrong turn.

Yeah, I definitely got step 1, but then I missed and fell down the stairs.

I looked up a list of 2018 songs to prime my brain. I didn't know a single one of them and had barely heard of any of the artists. I don't hold out high hopes for solving this MMMM!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I thought I had it, submitted and was wrong. My answer made sense, but was not the one Peter wanted.

Ditto, apparently. Oh well
Edit... Nevermind I guess I got the right answer, just a slow update

I think a lot of people will submit a wrong answer for this one.
Finding step 1 is hard enough.
I had actually heard of 2 of the songs on the 2018 list, which was a surprise.

Got it!
I really enjoyed this one. It was a group solve. I saw something ... another solver confirmed I was on the right track ... offered a bit more encouragement ... it all clicked ... and I was there in not much more time.
I had never heard of the song, but it was easy to confirm via Google.
Thanks, Pete!

What Chris said above. Meg confirmed I was on the right track and it was a quick sprint after that.

Gershwin’s in my head this morning.
I got plenty of nothin’
Nothin’s all I can see
Not a clue, no step one
Not even a herring for me
Folks with plenty of somethin’
Got a spot on the board
All figured out, no more doubt
Don’t have to look anymore
But I got plenty of nothin’
And don’t know songs from ’18
Four more days, must be a way
To figure out what this means

Anyone who has solved mind answering a question to see if what I see is relevant or not?

I believe that I have it and can see where some may not have worked it all the way through. Gonna sit on it a while before submitting.

Got it thanks to a friendly nudge, a bit of coaching, and a night's sleep.
