Everybody loves a quiz, right? Well, probably not everybody – but if you’ve arrived on this page in this corner of the internet, we’re assuming you like all things quizzing.

The beauty of the humble quiz question and answer session is that is is something that can appeal to all ages and all tastes and specialities – because you can ask and answer quiz questions and trivia about anything you like.

From the basic in a general knowledge quiz to more specialist rounds about TV and movies or perhaps your favourite TV shows like Doctor Who and Stranger Things, quizzes bring people together as they for the backbone of many social gatherings – but they can also be played alone.

And one of the most popular quiz rounds in any quiz is the music round, and that’s why we’ve pulled together some brilliant questions to test your grey matter when it comes to all things musical.

So do you know your Oasis from your Otis Redding and your Stormzy from your S Club 7 – well it’s time to prove it as we take the ultimate pop music challenge.

If you are sitting comfortably, let the quizzing begin…

Ready, steady, go!
