Adele Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

An Adele quiz sounds like her, so the skill is placement. Guess the Adele song from confessional ballads like 'Someone Like You', 'All I Ask' and 'Easy on Me', then test your trivia by pinning each to 19, 21, 25 or 30. Catch the up-tempo exceptions, 'Rolling in the Deep' and 'Rumour Has It', and the trap of 'Make You Feel My Love', which sounds like vintage Adele but is a Bob Dylan cover. Add the Oscar-winning Bond theme 'Skyfall' and see how well you really know Adele before the chorus lands.

Adele Trivia: Behind the Big Ballads

Beyond the ballads sit the questions that decide a close round: a Bond theme that won an Oscar, a million downloads in a single week, and a Bob Dylan cover quietly hiding on her debut album.

✦'Make You Feel My Love' from her debut 19 is often mistaken for an Adele original, but it is a Bob Dylan cover, one of the most reliable traps in an Adele quiz.

✦'Skyfall', her 2012 James Bond theme, was the first Bond song ever to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

✦'Hello' from 25 was the first song to sell more than a million downloads in a single week in the United States, in 2015.

✦On 30, the track 'My Little Love' weaves in real voice notes Adele recorded for her son Angelo during her divorce.

✦Adele names every studio album after her age when she wrote it: 19, 21, 25 and 30, so placing a song to the right album is half the challenge.

How Well Do You Know Adele's Catalog?

Everyone can name the singer; the question is the song and the era. Sort the piano ballads, the album-by-age placements, the up-tempo exceptions and the covers, and prove how deep your ear really goes.

The ballads everyone knows (where casual fans score)

Start here for the easy points. 'Someone Like You', 'Rolling in the Deep', 'Set Fire to the Rain', 'Hello' and 'Easy on Me' are the songs almost everyone names from the first line, and Adele's voice confirms it instantly. In any Adele quiz these are the openers that get you on the board.

One voice, four ages: placing 19, 21, 25 and 30

This is where an Adele quiz sharpens. Because every album is named for her age and shares the same piano-and-strings palette, the skill is placing a ballad to the right one: 'Chasing Pavements' belongs to 19, 'Someone Like You' to 21, 'When We Were Young' to 25 and 'Easy on Me' to 30. Same singer, same mood, four different eras.

The up-tempo curveballs (where superfans pull ahead)

Adele is typecast as a balladeer, so the up-tempo tracks are where superfans pull ahead. 'Rumour Has It' stomps, 'Send My Love (To Your New Lover)' is a Max Martin acoustic-pop bounce, and 'Oh My God' and 'Water Under the Bridge' pick up the pace. Guessing these from a short clip catches out anyone expecting only slow songs.

The covers most fans miss

The trickiest questions sit at the edges of the catalog. 'Make You Feel My Love' is a Bob Dylan cover that many assume Adele wrote, 21 closes with a live cover of The Cure's 'Lovesong', and 'Skyfall' is her orchestral James Bond theme. Know these and you are in the top tier of any Adele guess-the-song round.
