Test your knowledge of Ariana Grande's biggest hits, deep cuts and iconic moments.

The hooks of '7 Rings', 'Thank U, Next' and 'Problem' give themselves away fast. The harder ones are the tracks where her fast, soft delivery blurs the lyrics and you have to name them by the melody.
The story behind the songs decides the tight rounds: a Nickelodeon child actor turned pop star, a four-octave range likened to Mariah Carey, three Hot 100 spots held at once, and an Oscar nomination for Wicked.
Her catalog rewards your ear more than your memory. Start with the number-one hooks everyone knows, then test yourself on the blurred lyrics, the whistle notes and the duets where she is only half the voice.
This is the easy tier of an Ariana Grande quiz. 'Thank U, Next', '7 Rings', 'Problem', 'Break Free' and 'Positions' are chart-toppers with hooks that land from the first bar, so most players bank these before the round warms up.
Ariana sings fast and soft, so the words to '7 rings', 'positions' and 'thank u, next' blur together on first listen. The trick is to stop chasing the lyric and name the track from the melody and the runs instead, which is where a lyric-based guesser gets caught.
Her four-octave range climbs into whistle notes that few pop singers reach, the top end that draws the Mariah Carey comparisons. Spotting that soaring tone on a track like 'Emotions' or 'Imagine' is a fast way to pick her out and pull ahead of casual fans.
Ariana is a serial collaborator, so knowing her features is half the game. 'Rain On Me' with Lady Gaga, 'Love Me Harder' and the 'Save Your Tears' remix with The Weeknd, and 'Bang Bang' and 'Side to Side' with Nicki Minaj all ask you to catch her voice inside someone else's song.
She sings fast and softly, so the lyrics to songs like '7 rings' and 'positions' blur together. You end up naming her tracks by the melody, the runs and her whistle notes rather than the words.
Expect '7 Rings', 'Thank U, Next', 'Problem', 'Break Free' and 'Positions', plus her big duets like 'Rain On Me' with Lady Gaga and 'Love Me Harder' with The Weeknd.
