Fans totally nailed the Purple Rain film title (92% correct) but completely blanked on how many tracks are on the album — only 29% got it right. Knowing the movie is one thing; knowing the music inside-out is another level entirely!

The trickiest question in the whole quiz was about 'When Doves Cry' having no bass line — yet even then, nearly as many fans wrongly pointed at 'I Would Die 4 U' (25%) and 'Purple Rain' the song (21%) combined, showing Prince's genius still has plenty of secrets left to uncover.
