Test your knowledge of Avril Lavigne's biggest hits, deep cuts and iconic moments.
Scores are valid for 15 days.
Her biggest hooks give themselves away in the first two bars, from the pep-rally bounce of 'Girlfriend' to the acoustic opening of 'Complicated'. Start with the singles everyone shouts back before the moods turn on you.
The stories behind the hooks decide the close rounds: a debut chart-topper at seventeen, a single cut in eight languages, a comeback written after a long illness. Small details, the kind that break a tie.
Her catalog sorts into tiers of difficulty. Start with the shout-along singles, then face the mood-mask hits where a bright tune hides a breakup, and finish on the sincere ballads and soundtrack cuts only fans place.
This is the easy tier of an Avril Lavigne quiz. 'Complicated', 'Sk8er Boi', 'Girlfriend' and 'What the Hell' announce themselves in the first two bars, all built on shout-it-back hooks. Most players bank these fast, so they are the opening points before the trickier moods arrive.
Here is the catch that catches everyone. Her sunniest-sounding tracks are the bitter ones. 'My Happy Ending' hides a breakup, 'Girlfriend' hides a takedown, and 'He Wasn't' shrugs off an ex over a bounce. Guessing the title is easy; the trap is assuming a cheerful tune means a cheerful song.
Drop the snarl and the field thins out. The acoustic 'I'm with You', the grief of 'When You're Gone', the anthem 'Keep Holding On' and the orchestral 'Head Above Water' show the writer under the attitude. Place these from a short clip and you are in the top tier of an Avril quiz.
The edges of the catalog decide ties. 'Hello Kitty' swerves into EDM, 'Alice' comes from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland soundtrack, and 2022's Love Sux snaps back to raw pop-punk two decades on. A thorough quiz reaches past Let Go for these.
Play the Avril Lavigne quiz and find out. Guess her songs from a short clip and watch for the trap: bright tracks like 'Girlfriend' and 'My Happy Ending' are actually kiss-offs. Name the snarl and the sincere ballads to score.
The chant-along singles come first: 'Complicated', 'Sk8er Boi', 'Girlfriend' and 'What the Hell'. Then the deeper cuts that separate fans, from 'I'm with You' and 'When You're Gone' to 'Head Above Water' and Love Sux.
The singles are easy points, but the twist is mood. Her sunniest melodies often carry her meanest lyrics, so the trap is guessing a happy song when 'My Happy Ending' is really a breakup.
Her real name is Avril Ramona Lavigne. She was raised in Napanee, Ontario, Canada, and signed to Arista Records as a teenager before Let Go made her a global star.
Only if you know more than the radio hits. Placing 'Alice', 'Hello Kitty' or an early Under My Skin cut from a short clip is what turns a strong score into a perfect one.
