What is The Hit List?

The Hit List is a play-along pop quiz, with competing contestants vying to show off their music knowledge in the hopes of walking away with a £10,000 prize.

The format of the show sees the teams face four different rounds, where they will have to identify music from across a wide range of different genres and decades.

Hosting duo Marvin and Rochelle Humes said: “We are delighted that The Hit List is coming back for a fifth series on BBC One.

“We love making the show and hearing just how many people enjoy watching and playing along at home. It’s a perfect show for music lovers of all ages.”

What time will The Hit List start?

The Hit List will start at 7.10pm. The episodes usually last around 45 minutes.

What is the format of The Hit List?

Across three rounds, the contestants attempt to identify huge hits from across the years.

In the first round the teams will hear five seconds of five songs, from five decades that were all top five hits, spanning from today’s charts all the way back to the 1970s. The first team to get five correct answers progresses to the next round.

The second round is a test of speed. The teams are played a selection of clips from hit tracks, once they recognise a song they must press their button to get in first with an answer.

The third round is once again a test of speed, but this time the contestants must guess the intro to a famous song or TV show.

In the final round the team starts with £10,000 available in their prize pot, after 5 seconds of each track, the money starts to drop. If the team can correctly name 10 song titles and artists before the money disappears, they’ll go home with whatever amount is remaining in their pot.
