Q is inviting students in and around Manchester to put their knowledge to the test in the Q Ultimate Pop Pub Quiz next week.
The Q team will be hosting this musical challenge in the Manchester University Student Union Bar on 22 November from 5.15pm (GMT), with our Top 50 albums of 2011 up for grabs for those with the finest knowledge of the world of rock, pop and more.
You can also have a chat with the people behind Q if you like. So if you've got a view on our magazine, website, radio station, TV channel or just music in general, there will plenty of us hanging and we want to know what you think.
The quiz is free and will be based around teams of five - so come as a team or we'll pair you up on the night - and here's a taster of the sort of questions you'll face on the night:
1. What band does Paul Hewson front?
2. Which American indie band was Natalie Portman's character in Garden State a fan of?
3. Beyonce made her name in Destiny's Child - name the other two members of the R&B trio who were in the band when the group split up.
Fancy your chances? If so, come down on 22 November. If you don't live in Manchester, don't worry - we'll be coming to cities across the UK in 2012. More details to follow so keep your eyes peeled...
If you fancy starting next week with a three point advantage, the answers are: 1. U2, 2. The Shins, 3. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams
