Quiz: How well do you know boybands?

Take this quiz to put your music knowledge to the test.

WAVES OF NOSTALGIA have swept over boyband fans in recent times, with the reunion of groups like 5ive and JLS, and release of the Boyzone: No Matter What documentary in February.

Many would say that the resurgence of these classic bands is exactly what the world needs. So let’s take a trip down memory lane to a time when these groups dominated the music charts.

Were you a Directioner or did you swoon over Take That in the 90s? No matter which era of boyband fandom you’ve experienced, it’s time to test your knowledge.
