Fans absolutely crushed the George Michael and Survivor questions — both hit a jaw-dropping 92% success rate — yet those same fans stumbled hard on Bon Jovi's first #1, with only 21% knowing it was 'You Give Love a Bad Name' over the fan-favourite 'Livin' on a Prayer', revealing a classic case of iconic songs overshadowing chart history.
A sneaky trick question about Olivia Newton-John's 'Physical' caught 29% of fans picking the fake option 'Let's Get Physical' — a made-up title so convincing it fooled nearly 1 in 3 players, making it the quiz's most deceptive decoy by a mile.

Q:Which question tripped up the most 80s music fans?
A:Bon Jovi's first #1 hit — only 21% got it right.
A massive 60% were convinced 'Livin' on a Prayer' came first. Iconic? Absolutely. But 'You Give Love a Bad Name' beat it to the top spot!
Q:What charity single did fans most confuse with 'We Are the World'?
A:'Do They Know It's Christmas?' fooled 38% of fans.
Both were massive 1980s charity anthems, so the mix-up is totally understandable — but only 'We Are the World' was the correct 1985 answer here.
