The heartbreak ballads (where casual fans score)

Start here for the easy points. 'Stay with Me', 'I'm Not the Only One', 'Too Good at Goodbyes' and the Bond theme 'Writing's on the Wall' are slow, huge and unmistakably Sam Smith. Most players name these from the first piano chord, so this is the pile that opens any round in your favour.

The dancefloor turn (where the quiz flips)

Then the mood inverts. 'Unholy' with Kim Petras, the Calvin Harris house cut 'Promises' and 'Dancing with a Stranger' with Normani are built for a club, not a good cry. Same voice, opposite energy, so the trap is assuming a Sam Smith track has to be a ballad.

The breakthrough features (where superfans pull ahead)

Before the solo hits, Smith was the guest voice. Disclosure's 'Latch' and Naughty Boy's 'La La La' put that high, aching falsetto on dance tracks in 2012 and 2013, before 'Stay with Me' existed. Knowing those came first is what separates real fans in a guess-the-song round.

The album deep cuts (the tiebreakers)

The hardest points sit off the singles: 'Leave Your Lover' and 'Life Support' from In the Lonely Hour, 'Burning' and 'Pray' from The Thrill of It All, and 'Kids Again' from Gloria. Place one of these from a short clip and you are in the top tier of any Sam Smith quiz.
