The Weeknd Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

A Weeknd quiz turns on whether the mood of a clip fools you, because Abel Tesfaye keeps one airy falsetto across records that sound nothing alike. Guess the Weeknd song from the neon rush of 'Blinding Lights', the Daft Punk strut of 'Starboy' and 'Save Your Tears' to the dark, drugged-out mixtape R&B of 'The Hills' and 'House of Balloons', then test your trivia on curveballs like 'Earned It'. Track the voice, not the vibe, and see how well you really know the Weeknd before the chorus lands.

The neon-pop anthems that come quick

The radio anthems are the easy tier: 'Blinding Lights', 'Starboy', 'Can't Feel My Face' and 'Save Your Tears'. The bright, 80s-style synths and the falsetto hook arrive in the first bars, so most players name them early.

One voice, two opposite moods

This is the mood trap in full effect. The dark, drugged-out R&B of 'The Hills' and 'Wicked Games' comes from the same singer as the glossy pop of 'Blinding Lights', so the mood of a clip points the wrong way. Track the falsetto, not the vibe, and the misdirection falls apart.

The faceless mixtape cuts superfans catch

The mixtape tracks are the real separators. 'House of Balloons', 'Initiation', 'The Party & The After Party' and 'Rolling Stone' come from his 2011 run, when he was anonymous and faceless online. Place these from a short clip and few players keep up.

Soundtrack one-offs and the Kendrick team-up

The curveballs live off the main albums. 'Earned It' comes from the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' soundtrack, 'Pray for Me' with Kendrick Lamar was written for 'Black Panther', and the 'Save Your Tears' remix added Ariana Grande. A full round digs these up before the singles ever arrive.
