Most players name the One Direction singles instantly: 'What Makes You Beautiful', 'Story of My Life', 'Best Song Ever' and 'Drag Me Down'. Bank those, and the solo hits and album cuts are where the round tightens.
One Direction's backstory is full of the details fans trade: a debut album that opened at number one in America, five members plucked from solo auditions, and alumni whose own hits now slip into the mix.
From the singles anyone can sing to the album cuts only fans place, a One Direction round climbs in difficulty, and the sharpest test is telling the group apart from its five solo stars.
These are the easy points, named from the first bar: 'What Makes You Beautiful', 'Live While We're Young', 'Best Song Ever', 'Story of My Life' and 'Drag Me Down'. If you heard One Direction on the radio at all, this is where your score starts.
Every member went solo, so a clip you take for the group might be Harry Styles' 'As It Was', Zayn's 'Pillowtalk', Niall Horan's 'Slow Hands', or Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne alone. Telling One Direction from its own alumni is the trap that catches casual fans.
Five voices traded lines inside a single One Direction song, so a round often asks which member is actually singing. Zayn's high runs, Harry's rasp and Liam's lower tone are the tells, and naming the voice on a bridge separates the fans from the crowd.
Past the singles sit the deep cuts: 'Fireproof', 'Something Great' and 'Olivia' from Four, plus 'Walking in the Wind' and 'If I Could Fly' from Made in the A.M. Placing one of these from a short clip, and pinning it to the right album, is a top-tier score.
Play a One Direction quiz on Songtrivia and find out. Guess the song from a short clip and answer trivia from 'What Makes You Beautiful' to 'Drag Me Down', then see whether you can keep the band separate from its five solo stars.
Because every member went solo, a clip you take for the group can be Harry Styles, Zayn or Niall Horan alone. And five voices swapped lead lines inside one song, so naming who is singing is part of the challenge.
Expect the big singles 'What Makes You Beautiful', 'Story of My Life', 'Best Song Ever', 'Drag Me Down' and 'Night Changes', with deep cuts like 'Fireproof' and 'Olivia' to separate the fans.
Only if you go past the radio hits. Naming album cuts from Four and Made in the A.M., and picking each member's solo hit, is what turns a good score into a perfect one.
Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, brought together on The X Factor UK in 2010. Four are English and Niall Horan is Irish.
