Adele has released four studio albums in thirteen years: 19 in 2008, 21 in 2011, 25 in 2015 and 30 in 2021. This quiz draws on all four, plus Skyfall, her theme for the James Bond film of the same name. The long gaps between records give each one its own place in her catalogue, so an Adele game is rarely about recognising the voice, which nobody misses. It is about knowing which record a clip belongs to. The biggest single test is 25. On release it was the fastest-selling album of all time, with 3.4 million copies sold in the US in its first week, and nine of its songs are on this list, more than from any other record. Knowing only its singles leaves a lot of rounds to chance. The list below runs album by album, with a note on each about what to expect in a game.
Adele through the eras
29 songs you might be asked to name, record by record.
-
19
Her debut, with six songs in the pool. In an All-Time game these are the clips that most often catch out people who only know the big singles, so they are worth a listen before a long session.
- Make You Feel My Love
- Chasing Pavements
- Hometown Glory
- Daydreamer
- Cold Shoulder
- Right As Rain
-
21
Eight songs, several of them among her best known. Most players score well here, which is exactly why a slow answer on this record costs you more than anywhere else.
- Rolling in the Deep
- Someone Like You
- Set Fire to the Rain
- Rumour Has It
- Turning Tables
- One and Only
- Don't You Remember
- He Won't Go
-
25
Nine songs, the most from any one record in the quiz. Alongside the singles sit album tracks that rarely come up in conversation, so a game can test the whole record, not just its hits.
- Hello
- When We Were Young
- Send My Love
- Water Under the Bridge
- All I Ask
- Love in the Dark
- Remedy
- Million Years Ago
- Sweetest Devotion
-
30
Her most recent album, with five songs in the pool. These are the newest tracks in the quiz and the ones long-time fans have had the least time to learn.
- Easy On Me
- Oh My God
- I Drink Wine
- My Little Love
- To Be Loved
-
Singles and soundtracks
Not part of any of the four albums: Skyfall was released on its own as the theme for the James Bond film of the same name. It sits in her catalogue all the same, so it can turn up in any game.
- Skyfall
Songs are pulled live from Apple's catalogue when a game starts, so the tracks you play may not match this list exactly.

Adele quiz questions
Which song pool should I pick for an Adele quiz?
Top Hits for the songs most people know, or All-Time Catalog for a test across all four albums. Her decade pools line up neatly with her records: 19 falls in the 2000s, 21 and 25 in the 2010s, and 30 in the 2020s, so picking a decade is effectively picking an era. The 2020s pool is one of the smallest, so songs repeat sooner there.
How many Adele songs are in the quiz?
This page lists 29 songs a fan could reasonably name: 28 across her four studio albums plus Skyfall. Each game draws ten rounds live from her Apple Music catalogue, filtered by the pool you choose, so it can occasionally include a track that is not listed here.
Is Skyfall in the Adele quiz?
Yes. It is not on any of her albums, but it is in her catalogue under her name, so it can come up in a game like any other song.
What makes Adele hard to guess in five seconds?
Naming the artist is never the problem; naming the song is. Many of her best-known tracks are slow and built around the voice, so two openings can sound alike in the first few seconds. If you are unsure, wait for the first sung word rather than guessing on the piano or the room sound.
