Pop Music Quiz

The records that got everywhere. Choruses built to be remembered on one listen, which is exactly what makes them hard to name in a second and a half — you know it instantly, and knowing it is not the same as being able to say it.

    How to play the Pop quiz

    Press the record and type the title or the artist the moment you have it. Each of the 227 records here is worth the most the instant it starts and less for every second you let run, so the Pop quiz is a bet on your own ear: commit early and it pays in full, wait for the chorus and it pays half. The full scoring rules are on the hub.

    What’s in the Pop quiz

    Questions

    What songs are in the Pop quiz?
    227 real records, drawn from the same catalogue the Guess The Song app uses, with Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and Rihanna among the artists you'll hear. We don't publish the track list — knowing it would be the answer key, and the point is to name the record from the music. The breakdown above shows the years and the difficulty spread instead.
    Is the Pop quiz free to play?
    Yes, and there's no sign-up. Press play and a record starts. You can play as many rounds as you like here; the app adds ranked duels, friends rooms and the harder difficulty tiers.

    How the scoring works, what a wrong guess costs and whether you need Apple Music are answered once, on the hub.
