How to approach it
Work the problem backwards from the listener threshold rather than from fame. Ask which vocal groups have a dedicated, repeat-listening audience big enough to clear half a million monthly listeners, then sweep systematically: decade by decade, scene by scene, and label by label. Build a mental map of the four or five regional pop industries that manufacture groups at scale, then run through their active and disbanded rosters in alphabetical order so nothing is skipped. Keep a running list and rank candidates by how likely a general audience is to think of them; the ones near the top of that popularity ranking are the ones to use last, since everyone else will reach for them too. Verify the threshold before committing, because a beloved act with a small catalogue can fall short.
Get a hint
Start with the size of the fandom rather than the fame of the hits: a group can fill arenas in one market and stay invisible in another, so think in local scenes instead of global charts.
A little more
Then narrow by how the line-up was built: acts assembled by agencies or televised talent shows, sibling-led outfits and revived names from past decades tend to clear the threshold comfortably.
One step further
Finally sweep the odd-looking names — those carrying digits, a single letter or punctuation in place of words — because this pool rewards obscurity and strange styling far more than household recognition.

Why these answers count
The scoring spread is lopsided: 503 of the 535 recorded answers cleared 60 points, with 367 at 85, 135 at 60 and exactly one at 100. A curve that flat means the reveal list was long and generous, so crowding rather than accuracy separated the field. Household names attract dozens of players at once and sink toward the floor, while acts recognised by only a handful keep their value. The 85-point examples show the middle: &TEAM, =LOVE, 2 Unlimited, 702 and All-4-One are genuine qualifying groups, but each was named by enough players to be capped below the maximum. The lone 100, MoKenStef, is the opposite case — one remembered hit and virtually no presence in general-knowledge quizzes, so whoever thought of them collected everything. Rarity, not fame, was what paid.
