Hi Tiffany,

Each song needs to be an individual object, wrapped in brackets. Otherwise you would be overwriting the previous 'title' and 'artist' in the same object. Try this:

[ 
  {
    "title" : "Die, Die My Darling",
    "artist" : "The Misfits"
  },
  {
    "title" : "In Rainbows",
    "artist" : "Radiohead"
  },
  {
    "title" : "Sadness Is a Blessing",
    "artist" : "Lykke Li"
  },
  {
    "title" : "You Know You're Right",
    "artist" : "Nirvana"
  }
]

This gives you an array '[]' of 4 objects '{}', each with 'title' and 'artist' properties.
