How to play
Every day there are five new songs taken from the year-end hit charts, 1956 to 2025. Press play to hear a 30-second preview, then turn the dial to the year you think the song was a hit. An exact year scores 100 points, and you lose 10 points for every year you're off. Need help? Reveal the artist for a 20-point penalty.
Everyone gets the same five songs on the same day, so you can compare scores with friends. Share your result and the grid shows how close you came: 🟩 exact, 🟨 within 2 years, 🟧 within 5, 🟥 further off. A new puzzle starts at midnight where you are.
