Can you name the U2 Singles?

[bonocomet]

Remember the Sporcle.com game where we named all the U2 songs by album? There's a new one up now, name the U2 singles by year.

Can you name the U2 Singles? - sporcle


There are a couple of mistakes though unfortunately, making it nearly impossible to enter at least one of the titles.
Overall though, still pretty fun.

 

[dan_smee]

Finished with 4:52 remaining. Hard when they spell things wrong!!!

 

[Danny Boy]

Nice. I got 50 out of 52. Pretty sure I could have come up with the last two if I had more time.

 

[Axver]

Hint: in this quiz, it's origin, not original.

Even with that, I got it all with 8 minutes exactly to spare. It's missing some singles though. 40, for instance, was a single.

 

[dan_smee]

I got thrown because as I was typing one tree hill (i was going in order) it entered one, and when one tree hill didnt pop up (the text box only said tree hill) i deleted what was in there and spent ages trying to work out what it was

when it was finally the last one left I tried it again

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah it was the OOTS that messed me up because I couldn't figure out the wrong title. How did you guys get that?

 

[Axver]

I've seen it typoed plenty of times as "Origin" Of The Species over the years, so it was the first thing I tried when "Original" didn't show up where it should've.

 

[dan_smee]

^ i figured they had it wrong after what you posted earlier, so I played around. Origin of the species was a working title in the ATYCLB days I think (or at least elevation tour days)

 

[bonocomet]

Ah ok thanks. I didn't even think of that.

 

[the tourist]

Got it with 7:38 remaining.

 

[indra]

Yikes! I'd be the worst score ever. I did click on the link, but when I saw all that empty space I couldn't even remember the singles I know I know!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Couldn't come up with Another Day or A Day Without Me. Got all the rest of them pretty easily, though, including "Origin" of the Species.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i got everything with 8:37 left.

 

[coolian2]

5:28, and i can't believe how many i knew but blanked on. how did it take me so long to remember the pop singles?

 

[the tourist]

i can't believe how many i knew but blanked on. how did it take me so long to remember the pop singles?

That was me with the HTDAAB singles.

 

[bono_212]

I always blank on these kinds of things. But Jesus, the only ones I missed in the second column were all favorite songs

 

[coolian2]

That was me with the HTDAAB singles.

don't even get me started on that and the atyclb singles - and ironically the one that took me the longest for hutdab was the only song off the album i like. city of blinding lights, doh!

 

[Ellay]

Original of the Species wasn't released commercially was it, only a promo, ????

 

[bono_212]

don't even get me started on that and the atyclb singles - and ironically the one that took me the longest for hutdab was the only song off the album i like. city of blinding lights, doh!

The only songs in that second column I missed were Wild Horses, Stay, Starring At The Sun and COBL. Felt like quite and idiot for the same reason as you.

 

[nielsgov]

46 pretty bad
I forgot Beautiful Day and Numb.
Had some trouble with the early singles and Origin of the Species too.

 

[2861U2]

I got all of them except the 1995 single by 6:13. I kept trying as many variations of "Miss Sarajevo" as I could come up with, until it finally hit me.

 

[Galeongirl]

Only 3.52 remaining because I could not for the love of god remember that COBL was a single from Hutdab.

Must be cause that song is better than the rest of the album!

And I have to admit, Origin of the species took me a while too.

 

[Galeongirl]

Original of the Species wasn't released commercially was it, only a promo, ????

Uh it was a single, complete with a video and a hard copy.

 

[Irishteen]

Got them with 7:35 spent a minute on Original though

 

[JCOSTER]

All of them with time up, do you know how many times I had to put in discoteque?

 

[Karlonthe2nd]

Got it with 4 minutes left, mind you that's because i'm a very slow typer. I'm just happy I could name them all.

 

[Bonogirl777]

Ugh, freakin stupid typos!

 

[digitize]

Finished with 6:49 to spare. Would have done better if they hadn't have called OOTS "Origin of the Species". I actually looked up "species" first, to see if I was spelling it right.

Also, it took me awhile to remember that Please, my favorite song from Pop and one of my favorites ever, was a single from Pop.

 

[Axver]

All of them with time up, do you know how many times I had to put in discoteque?

Here's a tip: the song is called Discotheque.

 

[digitize]

Also... Mysterious Way?
