'AJAX Basics' challenge: what am I missing?

I feel pretty foolish here as I'm sure this is quite trivial.

"In this challenge, you'll create a JSON file containing a string that's formatted as an array of JavaScript objects. The file will contain an array of songs, each with a song title and artist. Start by creating an empty array."

I have tried:

var empty = new Array();

[];

[{}];

I somehow can't find this even after a few Googles.

This is what I used to pass:

songs.json 
[
{ 
  "title" : "song_title" ,
  "artist" : "artist_name"
}
]
