BopMatch

BopMatch is a music trivia game about popularity rather than songs. Each round shows a Target Artist. Your job is to search for and pick a Guess Artist who you think is about as popular, measured by the popularity score Spotify gives every artist. The game links to a guide that explains how that score works.

Scoring is simple. Each round is worth up to 100 points, and you lose 5 points for every point of difference between the two artists' popularity scores. Pick an artist exactly as popular as the target and you get the full 100; miss by 20 points and you get nothing for that round. A day has five rounds, and the total out of 500 is your score.

A new set of five Target Artists arrives every day. The site says the new rounds go up at 8 PM EST, and the sets are dated by the UTC day. You can play without an account. Signing up stores your scores, and logged-in players get a Past Games page listing their earlier results. Earlier days cannot be replayed. When you finish, the game copies your score to share.

BopMatch is made by Jacob Feit Mann, who keeps its code public on GitHub. The first daily set went up in June 2025.

The game rewards people who follow charts and streaming numbers: knowing that a band is big is not enough, you need a feel for how big. A target from a niche genre calls for an equally niche match, and a global star needs another global star.
