Chart-toppers, one-hit wonders and record-breaking albums — a music trivia arsenal across the decades for hosts and players alike.
The Beatles hold the record for most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (20). Elvis Presley had 18 weeks at number one with a single song — "Hound Dog" shares that crown oddly enough with several tracks across eras.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" was considered too long for radio at 5:55. Queen refused to cut it, and a radio DJ playing the full song after hours sparked its legendary run.
"Despacito" became the most-watched YouTube video of its era and held the all-time record for years. Adele's "25" sold 3.38 million copies in the US in its first week — a record that still stands.
Spotify's most-streamed song milestones have changed hands repeatedly, which is itself a great trivia category: "Which song held the all-time streaming record in 2019?"
