Paul McCartney Quizzes & Polls

From the self-titled bedroom recordings of McCartney to the Wings arena-rock of Band on the Run, Paul McCartney's solo catalogue is vast enough to separate the casual listeners from the true obsessives — so which one are you? Put yourself to the test across Paul McCartney Songs, Solo Career, and Collabs quizzes covering everything from Bond themes to deep-cut album trivia. Fair warning though: fans are only nailing about 77% of questions overall, and the deep cuts — like which 1980 album hides Coming Up, or who really co-wrote Flowers in the Dirt — are where even the die-hards are getting caught out.

Paul McCartney fans are seriously clued up compared to the broader pop crowd! Quiz-takers score 77% on McCartney questions, while the average pop fan only hits 70% — a 7-point gap that shows his fanbase is a cut above the casual listener.

The Paul McCartney Collabs Quiz is the toughest of the bunch, but there's one collab question that tripped nearly half of all players — only 50% correctly identified 'FourFiveSeconds' as the song featuring McCartney alongside Rihanna and Kanye West. Turns out pairing a Beatle with rap royalty is harder to remember than you'd think!
