About the Coldplay Song Quiz

Coldplay's early records are guitar and piano; the later ones are closer to electronic pop. Chris Martin's falsetto is the constant, and the delay-heavy guitar figures are usually the fastest way in.

Questions

How does the Coldplay Song Quiz work?

Each round plays one second of a real recording. Name the track and you score five points. Miss or skip and you unlock two seconds, then four, seven and eleven, with the round worth less each time. Five songs per run, and the guess field suggests titles as you type so spelling never counts against you.

Which songs come up?

Tracks are pulled live from the public music catalogue, so the set changes every run. Titles you might hear include Yellow, Viva La Vida, Fix You, The Scientist, A Sky Full of Stars. Each round also starts at a random point in the recording, so the same song can feel completely different the next time it appears.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no download and no cost. It runs in the browser on phone, tablet or desktop.

Do I need to be a serious Coldplay fan?

Casual listeners tend to need three or four seconds per track. Naming a Coldplay song from the first second is a different skill entirely, because at that length you are recognising a texture rather than a melody.
