Pop culture amateur

You're a pretty big pop culture fan and didn't have too much of a hard time guessing which famous musicians were born in the US! Although number seven (Madonna) might've stumped you, you mostly did a good job!

Pop culture fan

You're a huge pop culture fan and didn't have too much trouble identifying which musicians were born in the US! Not only do you really love Lil Nas X's music, but you're also deeply fascinated by his personal life beyond his musical success.

Well, well, well, congratulations to you — you really know your famous musicians! Not only do you love listening to memorable catalogues by artists like Prince and Christina Aguilera, but you probably know everything about their backgrounds — inside and out.
