Guess the Greatest Hits Songs Music Quiz

For this music trivia quiz I've made a selection of 50 of the most famous pop songs ever, based on the all time greatest hits charts from around the world. In the greatest hits music quiz, your challenge is to guess the song and the performing artist from just a short sound bite!

Just a suggestion - when you name the band and song - play the chorus of the song

[@TheQuizChannel]

Thanks Caidan, very good idea 👍🏻 !!

[@maoribrotha53]

Basically just be more like the Leroys library videos.

[@BringTheKain]

I think it takes more skill to recognize a separate section of tie song. Seems fine as is

[@maoribrotha53]

@@BringTheKain No they’re talking about after they give the answer. Obviously you don’t play the chorus in the part when we’re meant to guess the song.

you seem to be guessing, but then this timer melody plays, and everything goes astray in my head, better let the timer go along with the music that needs to be guessed

[@maurmi]

Yes that timer melody really interferes with your head when you're half way into guessing the song

Quiz Channel, these are really fun and I enjoy them. But please, could you just use a tick tock sound or something instead of the fill music? You give us those seconds to think, but the fill music kinda wipes out the bit of music you gave us. I could come up with more answers if I could hear the clue in my head instead of the filler.

Nice mix. A bit uneven with the difficulty level, some of the more exotic songs got only very few seconds of the Intro or solo to guess while others got big parts of the recognizable bits... seems a tad mean. Either make all outtakes the same length or at least announce if you take all the songs just first few seconds or somewhere at random that is not mentioning the songtitle (i think you even messed that up with Adele her songtitle was in the bit)
