If Your ... Trivia Quiz

Answer: Aaliyah

Written by Missy Elliott and Timbaland, the 1996 single "If Your Girl Only Knew" was the lead single off Aaliyah's second studio album "One in a Million" (1996). The song peaked at number eleven in the US Billboard Hot 100 with the accompanying music video involving cameos including the two song writers.

Answer: Daniel Bedingfield

New Zealand-British singer Daniel Bedingfield produced three UK number one singles from his debut album "Gotta Get thru This" (2002) including "If You're Not the One", also released in 2002 and which reached number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100. He deliberately wrote it to appeal, in this case as a populist Westlife-type song.

Answer: Matchbox Twenty

Written by front-man Rob Thomas, American rock band Matchbox 20 released "If You're Gone" in 2000 from their second album "Mad Season". It reached number five on the US Billboard Hot 100. Meeting his future wife at an afterparty, Thomas recalled that he was concerned that the band's success and touring at the time was going to prevent the relationship from developing.

It was also the name of a song by American rock band the Byrds from their second studio album "Turn! Turn! Turn!" (1965).

Answer: Westlife

Not to be mixed up with the "If"-less 1984 song sung by Janie Fricke, "If Your Heart's Not In It" is a 2001 song by Irish boy band (at the time) Westlife. It appears on their third album "World of Our Own". It was not released as a single although the album did well, selling over five million copies. "Queen of My Heart", "World of Our Own" and "Bop Bop Baby" were singles from the album.

Answer: Tanya Tucker

Written by Tom Shapiro and Chris Waters, American country music singer Tanya Tucker recorded the song "If Your Heart Ain't Busy Tonight" and released it in 1992.

Answer: Alabama

The full title of the 1984 single by American country music band Alabama is "If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)". It was on the B-side of the third single from the album "Roll On" and did better than the A-side "I'm Not That Way Anymore".

The B-side became the band's 14th consecutive number one single in the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart (as it was named then).

Answer: Jessie Ware

The 2012 song was the second single of British singer-songwriter Jessie Ware's 2012 debut album "Devotion". Originally titled "110%", it contained a sample from "The Big Shatterer" by American rapper Big Pun however his estate removed consent to its inclusion following a dispute. So the sample was removed and the song renamed "If You're Never Gonna Move". Big Pun was the inspiration and the original title was a reference to his "100%" song.

Answer: Shania Twain

Co-written and released by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain in 1995, the full title of the song is "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here". It was the fourth single from her second studio album "The Woman in Me". It topped the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It was released as a double A-side single along with "The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You)".

Answer: Belle and Sebastian

The title of an album as well as one of the most cited tracks on it, "If You're Feeling Sinister" was released by Scottish indie pop band Belle and Sebastian in 1997. The album is considered one of the best of the 1990s (ranked 14 out 100 by American online music magazine "Pitchfork"). The band got their record company to agree to release no singles nor do any promotional events.

Answer: Tim McGraw

American country music artist Tim McGraw released a remixed version of the single "If You're Reading This" in 2007, having first played it live at the Academy of Country Music awards that year. It peaked at number three on the Billboard Country charts as well as at 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is in the form of a letter written by a soldier to his family in case he dies.
