	Hello all, I have an assignment for you. I want your opinions on this quiz and how best to make it an actual decent sequel to the One-A-Year published quiz. So, this quiz contains: a) All 97 one-word number one songs that weren't in original 58 quiz. b) Because of that, there are repeated artists and repeated titles. Apparently, Mariah Carey has difficultly remembering more than one word. c) Some of these songs are awesome, and some of them are so obscure, it is painful. d) Songs that are technically one-word, but have a (parenthetical) part are marked with a * e) Well, 3 by Britney Spears.... Does it begin with a 3 or a T. It kinda meets the one-word definition.

	So below are a few options of what I can do to make the quiz better. PLEASE vote up any that you like, but DON'T VOTE ANY DOWN, since I want to see a sum total of everyone's votes. Also, any other suggestions and advice are welcomed.

	Option 1 Split the quiz into two halves, by some year in the middle, because it is too big, and no one really knows music over such a long time span.

	sproutcm:	Jul 30th, 2010 at 16:32 GMT	6 points
	Option 2 Let the quiz run for a week, and remove the roughly half of the songs that no normal humans, or people with taste have heard of. Then it becomes just a nice smattering of other #1 hits that are one-word long.

	Option 3 Let's face it, no one knows the early stuff, and the recent songs are crap, so cut out the early and the late ones, and just enjoy the goodness in the center, like in an Oreo.

	Option 4 I'm a Sporcle completist, and if a quiz doesn't include every possible answer, I'm not happy. So, leave this fun monster as it is. Heck, maybe you should add back in the other 58.

	Tommy Roe Sheila not Shield.

	stay is one of my favorite songs, and the only reason they put "(i missed you)" after it is because there were way too many other songs called stay...i personally just like "Stay" the way it is.

	I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that I only got 87, so I'm in favor of listing them all. You already have a kind of "best of" version.

	@asshat Hey Jerk, who just voted down all the comments on this quiz, thanks for demonstrating your level of maturity to the entire internet.

	You're missing a "na" in Bananarama. And I'm with Rocky: add all the others in and make this a thorough list of all songs that fit, for hardcore Sporclers. The published one serves as the "radio edit". Eventually, you can take a few from here and make another "mainstream" quiz with the most guessed from here. It's options 2 and 4 put together.

	For some reason, it won't accept the right answer for the 2004 Usher track.

	Love the concept of the quiz. I'm all for adding the other songs and making it a complete list. But if you do leave it the way it is add just a little more time, one minute or at the most two. I just about got through the list and that's with breezing through the 50's through the 90's. I would have picked up a couple more 2000's titles with a little more time to go back and wrack my brain a bit. (Admittedly I would never have gotten them all no matter how much time I had) And I'd imagine a similar situation with younger players, only they'd be wracking their brains to pick up a couple more 50's-70's songs.
