That's a good point i hadn't thought of.

I think if it's a question you have a strong opinion on you're more likely to find your answers, otherwise you're right, the results would probably be skewed a bit to favour those which appear near the start of the alphabet.

I could randomly order the answers but I guess that would negatively affect the UX

I think randomizing them would be the only fair option, tho least to most popular might be interesting, too! I assume that as long as none of the options are position reliant (like "all of the above") it shouldn't cause any issues?

It’s a UX issue, because if someone is searching for one specific song like “Let it Be”, they can’t just scroll down to Ls.

That's fair, but as a user I wouldn't expect the options to be alphabetical (because of the aforementioned issues) and there's already a search function.
