It was also the 50th anniversary of Pop Go The Beatles on the BBC. In my humble opinion, that is the more consequential of the UK shows.

The NSA does not care about your business. Collecting meta data does not mean they are sitting around reading every comment anyone posts on Facebook or YouTube, or listening in on your phone calls. Get a grip.

I have absolutely no idea what these songs are (I think I've heard once of Get Lucky) or who the artists are (except for Daft Punk back in the 90s), and it's about the only things I missed in this quiz. And I live in North America! Which makes my ignorance more staggering, but honestly, I just don't care for "modern" music.

Same here. I always miss the music clues on these year in review quizzes. Too bad they don't vary the genres.

Most current music goes in one ear out the other, but two songs that year I particularly liked: Royals and Thrift Shop.

Definitely something wrong about the Frozen answer. I typed it three times, and it never accepted it, yet that's what shows up in red as the answer at the end (with a percentage of 0% people getting it right according to the stats). Could you fix this please?

Funny, I first heard of "Frozen" in November 2014. Speaking of "Frozen", the accepted type-ins are messed up. Considering all the events you've mentioned, I wouldn't call 2013 a boring year (look at the description of the quiz).

There have been 6 King Georges(without the s) in English history. Therefore it is a family name, multiple ancestor's names, and must be special to the parents, Wills & Kate.

Well Prince Charles (Charlie), Prince William (Bill) and now Prince George... They are simply turning into the Weasleys. :D

Btw, the baby's name is George Alexander (+ a couple of others afterwards, I think).

He can always choose a different name as king. The previous king George VI went by Albert / Bertie before that.

Why does the clue for Frozen say "Movie: Let It Go"? Shouldn't it say "Song: Let It Go" or just "Let It Go"? The answer column already contains the word movie.

Bit of flexibility of Snowden ould be nice. Annoying when you type Edward Snowdon and it doesn't give it to you.

Or as an alternative learn the correct spelling of a man's name. I frequently get answers wrong and learn from them.

For a lot of things I agree, get the spelling right. Like they ask hous to be accepted for house or dug for dog. But in this case I agree. Really, when would you ever has seen the name written down? I have only heard about it. (I guess it would ve been in American newspapers)
