About This Quiz

This is a small time machine. A chart-topping single appears, then four artists. You point to the singer that actually took it to number one. That’s the whole bit.

Sounds jump lanes. Club heaters, coffeehouse whispers, blog-rock buzz, bilingual earworms. YouTube arrives, downloads surge, but the crown still feels huge each week.

Let the first beat hit. If the name clicks before the reasons, good. If two names tug, picture the video or the album cover. Then decide and keep rolling.
