Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The song at the top was an easy choice as it is also the number one song of all-time according to "Billboard Magazine". Who provided the vocals for Santana's "Smooth"?

Answer: Rob Thomas

Carlos himself is a guitarist and considered one of the very best at his trade. The Product hooked up with Santana on "Maria, Maria", which became the top song of 2000. Branch would hook up with Carlos on his next two albums and score a top 10 with "Game Of Love".

As for "Smooth", it won a Grammy, spent 12 weeks at the top spot and over a year in the Top 40. Its chart longevity makes it the top song of all-time.

2. "No Scrubs" finished at number two for the year. It spent 25 weeks in the Top 40 and four weeks at the top. What former singer formed and managed TLC?

Answer: Pebbles

Pebbles, nicknamed by her family after Pebbles Flintstone, scored four big hits in the late 80s and early 90s including the number two smash "Mercedes Boy". TLC was an instant success. Its first two singles went platinum and ten of its first eleven singles went at least gold.

Answer: Cherilyn Sarkisian

Bono, of course, was the last name of her now-departed ex-husband Sonny and "Dark Lady" was the title of her previous number one, in 1974. On the silver screen and on the music charts, Cher is one of the greatest performers of all time. She hit the Top 40 over twenty times with and without Sonny, scored four number one hits, six gold singles and "Believe" went platinum.

Answer: Buffalo

Brian was born on June 6, 1969 in Buffalo, NY. He's had three Top Ten hits but the top spot has escaped him.

5. Christina Aguilera's debut single "Genie In A Bottle" rounds out the year's Top Five. What Grammy Award did she win for her debut?

Answer: Best New Artist

The kiss of death for many performers, the Best New Artist Grammy didn't slow Christina down one bit. Her second single "What A Girl Wants" also hit the top spot later in the year but didn't make the top 25 for the year.

6. "Livin' La Vida Loca" was a platinum start for multi-talented performer Ricky Martin. With what boy band did he sing before going solo?

Answer: Menudo

Ricky has done it all at. Besides his solo singing career and time as a member of Menudo, he has acted on the TV soap opera "General Hospital" and performed on-stage with "Les Miserables". He has not, however, scored another number one pop hit.

7. Latin-styled music was hot in 1999 as can be seen by the three Latin-flavored hits in the yearly Top Ten, all performed by chart newcomers. Whose first hit was "If You Had My Love"?

Answer: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer has gone on to great things on the charts and on the silver screen since her debut. "If You Had My Love" spent five weeks at number one, twenty weeks in the Top 40 and went platinum.

8. Monica's number one smash "Angel of Mine" comes in at number eight for the year. How old was she when she first hit the charts in May of 1995?

Answer: 14

She was only 14 when "Don't Take It Personal" went to number two in 1995 and earned platinum status. In fact, six of her first seven singles went platinum and the seventh was golden. "Angel Of Mine" spent four weeks at the top.

9. Another debut performer, Britney Spears holds down the number eight spot for the year with what song?

Answer: Baby One More Time

In her short life, Britney has done a great deal, much of it reported in the tabloids. There is no question, however, that Britney is a talented singer. Her first song spent two weeks at the top and 29 weeks in the Top 40. It might have been higher on the year-end chart, except that the song first entered the Top 40 in late 1998.

10. Rounding out the Top Ten is "Unpretty" by TLC. What do the initials of the group's name stand for?

Answer: the initials of the group members' nicknames

Atlanta's TLC was Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes and Rozanda "Chili" Thomas.
