Today’s Spotle #1263 Hints for October 13, 2025
Feeling stuck after your first guess? Don’t fret! Here are some clues based on the color-coded feedback to help you zero in on today’s mystery artist:
- Debut Album Year: This artist’s debut album, For You, came out in the year 1978. A guess of an artist from the 2000s would show a red box with a significant “down” arrow.
- Group Size: The artist is a Solo performer, though he often worked with a backing band (like The Revolution or The New Power Generation). A guess of a duo or band would result in a red box for this category.
- Listener Rank: The artist holds a Legendary status, consistently charting high on streaming services decades after his passing due to his immense influence and catalog. A guess of a newly emerging artist would show a red box.
