How well do you really know pop music? PopMusicMaster is the fast-paced music quiz built around the UK charts. Over 1,850 questions take you from 1950s chart-toppers through the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s to today's hits โ€” who sang it, which year it charted, what the album was called, and which act reached which position. Plus a festive Christmas category packed with Christmas number ones, carols and seasonal favourites. Completely free โ€” no ads, no accounts, nothing locked behind a purchase. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development. PRACTICE MODE Play solo against the clock, across every era, one decade at a time โ€” 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s or 2020s โ€” or a Christmas round. You have 15 seconds per question, and a countdown bar turns red when time is running low. Pick the correct answer from four options for +1 point. Not sure? Pass for 0. But guess wrong and it's โˆ’1. Accuracy matters as much as speed. The correct answer is always revealed, so you learn something from every question. TOURNAMENT MODE Host a pop quiz night. Pick a decade, or Christmas, and the app deals a round of 10 questions with no timer, so you set the pace. Read each one aloud to your teams, then reveal the answer when everyone has written theirs down. Finish the round and pick another category to keep the tournament going.
