Earlier this year the top £10,000 jackpot was finally won - for the first time since the show debuted in 2019.
Since then, more than 250 contestant duos have hoped to win the show's top prize -only to fall short.
Father and son duo Paul and Tom, from Liverpool, walked away with the full £10,000 - achieving what had seemed impossible.
The high-pressure Final Chart Rundown sees contestants try and name 10 songs and artists.
After five seconds of each song has played, the money in the prize pot starts to drop.
This means that players make less money the longer time they take.
Watch the moment The Hit List star wins £10k jackpot for first time in show history with tricky music question
However, dream Paul and Tom answered every one correctly in less than five seconds, therefore keeping every penny.
"We always knew that we'd go on together, as you need knowledge of music spanning all decades.
"The two teams we were competing with were incredible, I couldn't believe when we go through to the final round, the adrenaline was immense and obviously over the moon with the result.'
Paul said: "Tom inherited his love of music from me, we are big quizzers, and music is always our speciality subject.
"To get through to the final round was a big achievement as it was competitive game play throughout.
"I would have been happy with £1,000 and a day out with my son.
"We weren't aware that no-one had won the jackpot before and as we got to song seven in the final round the tension in the studio was palpable.
"I was very proud of Tom for getting the song names in about three seconds."

Keep it Rhyl: Celebrities back £20 million regeneration plan
TV stars and well-known personalities are supporting Keep it Rhyl, an ambitious scheme to revive the town through a £20 million regeneration plan over the next decade. The campaign calls on residents to support local businesses, charities, and community groups as part of the wider vision. Kimberly Hart-Simpson, a Rhyl-born actress known for Coronation Street and Celebrity Hunted, is among several celebrities who have shared messages of support on social media. Sian Lloyd (Image: Supplied f) Others include ITV journalist Carole Green, BBC presenter Sian Lloyd, and Spencer 'Big Spen' Wilding, an actor whose credits include Star Wars, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter. The campaign is led by the Rhyl Neighbourhood Board, a group of residents, entrepreneurs, councillors, and grassroots leaders. Craig Sparrow, chair of the board, said: "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the future of our town and we want everyone to be part of it. "We're calling on residents of all ages, businesses, schools, community groups, and individuals with a love for Rhyl to get involved. "Share your voice, your story, your ideas — no matter how big or small. "Film a short message, post your favourite memory, suggest something bold, or simply tell us what Rhyl means to you." Actor Spencer Wilding urged the board to focus on young people and celebrate the town's strengths. Spencer 'Big Spen' Wilding (Image: Supplied) Mr Wilding said: "I have lived in the area all my life and feel it's important we get behind the regeneration programme, celebrate the best of Rhyl and do it for the next generation – let's shine a light on Rhyl, even stronger than ever." Mr Sparrow said the campaign is about more than infrastructure and investment. He added: "This campaign is about more than buildings and investment, it's about pride, connection, and community. "It's about celebrating our past while building a future we can all be proud of. "Every voice counts. Every message matters. "Together, we can 'Keep it Rhyl' and make sure this £20 million regeneration strategy truly reflects the hopes and dreams of the people who live and work here." The £20 million investment comes from the UK Government's Plan for Neighbourhoods programme. The Rhyl Neighbourhood Board will develop a 10-year vision and an initial investment plan to identify and prioritise projects.

Actress Ruth Jones to guest present The Archers Podcast
The Welsh actress will be joined by Archers cast members Charlotte Martin (Susan Carter) and Wilf Scolding (Chris Carter), along with Sarah McDonald Hughes, the writer of this week's episodes. The podcast will be available exclusively on BBC Sounds from 7.15pm on Friday. Jones, who co-wrote and co-starred in Gavin & Stacey, described herself as a 'massive Archers addict'. In the podcast she delves into the Carter family's complex history, including Chris's turbulent relationship with Alice and a powerful archive flashback to his birth in 1988, when he was born with a unilateral cleft lip and rejected by his mother. Jones also picks her two favourite scenes of the week, reveals her favourite quirky Archers character traits, and poses some burning questions about unresolved storylines in the fictional village of Ambridge. Jones said: 'I've been an avid fan of The Archers since the early 90s. 'Despite being an actress and writer myself, the thought of actually being in The Archers, or writing it, absolutely terrifies me because in my mind Ambridge really exists.' The Archers Podcast is released weekly every Friday, immediately after The Archers is broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It is usually presented by Emma Freud, who is on holiday this week. The first national episode of The Archers was broadcast on the BBC on January 1 1951.
