How the clock works

The clock is the ten answer times added together, each measured from the start of its round with clip loading included — not wall-clock, because pauses between rounds are not measured. A run counts only if all ten rounds were answered, none was skipped, no single answer came in under a second and the whole run took at least fifteen. 46 runs on this artist were excluded by that floor. Nerve on the last round. 96% of players who had the first nine right also got the tenth. The first round costs you 1,339ms against the median of rounds two to ten — nobody is warm on the opening clip.

What this is, and is not

Who is measured. Muzify players who chose this artist in the app — mostly existing fans, not a random public sample. Read it as "how well do their own listeners know the catalogue", never as national awareness.

What "named it" means. One clip, four options, a five-second clock. Chance alone is 25%.

Floors. A song appears only above 200 answers; a market only above 25,000 plays. Everything else is withheld rather than shown thin.

Player counts are bands, never exact figures.
