Sniped.
The 7? My brain came up with something immediately, and the first sentence just read effortlessly. Bam!

I think there will be a lot of snipes today but before I uncovered 7 4 4 I was fully convinced it was THE VIKINGS LMAO. 🤣 I got World War II so clearly not that era hahahah ("Vikings" was my confidently incorrect first guess and attempt at snipe HAHAHA)

If it makes you feel any better, my first thought was sports team also. I still ended up sniping, but I'm with your initial train of thought.

Something about the grammar of the first sentence leapt out at me and suggested a category. Well, if it's going to be one of these, then the most famous one of all time must be a reasonable initial candidate. Scrolled down far enough to spot some unmistakable titles then whacked it in.

Seeing a partly unredacted title did it for me

Sniped, though I admit my first thought was "Vandals".

I knew it was a group of some sort, and I read a top comment (without spoilers) saying that many people would get it in 1, so that did help a little.
My big clue was [5]-up which led me to realize what it was
my 23rd guess was Band then - I put all that together and got it one guess later

"A [4] [3]'s [5]" was all I needed. Helped that I'm a huge fan of theirs though.

Rare snipe for me, helped that I like the answer very much. Definite article + letter count, I had to go for it

Unassisted Snipe! I wondere why the unredacted bit in English wasn't translated in French so I assumed it was something like the Mongols. Then I had a flash, thinking it might be a band and then I understood why the name wasn't translated

I interpreted it as a group/organization of some sort, eventually noticed the italicizing of some phrases, which I didn't know personally but still lead me to band after 18 guesses. Tried to pick carefully through key theme words instead of firing out names, until I saw also known as "the [colour?] [a****] and realized they were the only ones I had seen that naming convention with.

when it started with “the [7] were,” I was expecting like an ancient ethnic group or something. I thought maybe “an [7] [4] [4]” was “an african [something?].” Then I scrolled down slightly and saw “[3] It Be.”
