Everybody thinks they know pop music, because pop music is unavoidable. What most people actually know is one or two decades extremely well and the rest in blurry outline. This quiz is built to find the edges of your knowledge.

The twelve questions move between the 1960s and the streaming era, covering record-breaking singles, band line-ups, instantly recognisable openings and the awards that defined careers. There is no genre snobbery here: if it charted, it counts.

Explanations include years and chart context so you can use them later to win an argument properly.

Before you start

  • Anchor each question to a decade first, then choose.
  • Band-membership questions usually hide the decoy in a similar-era group.
  • Read explanations for release years; they help on later questions.
  • One question per page. Choose an answer and you will see whether you were right, plus why.
  • Restarting is only available after you reach the final results page, so your level reflects a complete run.
