This quiz is going to come at you hard and fast. I've got 100 songs by 100 acts in 5 minutes. So here's my suggestions:
Takes the first couple of minutes and enter in all the acts, solo or groups, that you think might be on the list - the huge singles acts of the last 50 years. Then when you start to get stuck for ideas, play the clip. Note that the acts are listed and played in alphabetical order. Single artists are sorted by last name where appropriate.
You should have enough time to try getting answers without the audio for about 5 minutes and still listen to the clip 3 times in its entirety.
There are no tricks. I've tried to find the most iconic 3 seconds of these acts careers. If you don't know the song, you probably don't know the artist either.
And don't blame me for who's on or not on this list. I didn't choose the acts. You, your parents, and in some cases your grandparents made these acts stars on the singles chart.
And keep in mind these are singles, not albums. You won't find Led Zeppelin or AC/DC or Nirvana on this list. They are huge album sellers, but rarely visited the singles chart.
I really really hope you enjoy this, because it probably took me about 20-30 hours to build this clip to my standards. |
