I'll be honest, I didn't know the answer but Pitbull was the first to pop in my head.

I thought we were going to see something special after the J! round with James setting a record and the other 2 contents doing abysmally in comparison. By not getting any of the Daily Doubles in DJ! it shows how much luck does play a role in this game. He was well on his way to smashing the one-day total again.
It's a hilarious song

Well, would you look at that? Nice catch! What made you think to check? I hope the Wieners call up Jeopardy! and make them issue a retraction.

My friend, an opera snob, gleefully reported that the opera twitterverse was up in arms over Jeopardy!'s egregious error. I had to go to the source and see for myself. Not a big deal, but surprising that the fact checkers didn't find it

I'm guessing the clue writer's eyes just skipped down a line. The number is right, it's just the city that's one off. But yeah, this one's a softball for the fact checker. The clue pins the number and city to a specific website. All you have to do is go to that website and make sure the writer didn't muff it.

Probably because they'd need to use the Cyrillic alphabet for the Russian spelling of Moscow.

If you check the last few years, Moscow leads in all except that one. Could be they just missed that they weren't on top in 17/18, but still, yeah, fact check ...
