About This Quiz

Number-titled acts are back on the charts this year. Arena tours launch. Vegas residencies sell out. Seems like the perfect time to see how well you really know these digits. We strip the number out—you drop it back in.

How it works: four choices, only one sounds right on a ticket, poster, or playlist tile. Go with whatever feels like the name you’d yell at a merch table.

Watch for variants: numerals vs. spelled-out numbers, letter-plus-digit pairs, hyphens, apostrophes, even comma-separated thousands. Your eyes will want to rush—give them half a beat.
