And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Butterfly is the eponymous track on Mariah Carey’s 1997 album. It symbolizes themes of love and freedom during her separation from Tommy Mottola.
2. Lorraine McIntosh takes center stage in “Cover from the Sky.” Deacon Blue fans enjoyed this change as Lorraine’s lead debut.
3. Damage originally sang “Forever” in 1996, showcasing their R&B style. It became their most successful single after reaching high chart positions in the UK and Australia.
4. Boyzone covered “I Love the Way You Love Me” in 1998. Their version found significant success, hitting number two on the UK charts.
5. “Don’t Marry Her” by The Beautiful South had its explicit lyrics toned down for radio listeners. Options such as Sandra Bullock replaced less family-friendly content.
6. Geri Halliwell’s “Lift Me Up” video was set mostly in Malaga, Spain, featuring extraterrestrial encounters and alien-themed scenes.
7. In Europe, Gloria Estefan’s “I’m Not Giving You Up” was released as a double single, a popular format for maximizing chart impact.
8. Faith Hill snagged a 1998 Video of the Year win at the Country Music Association Awards for “This Kiss.” It was notably a crossover success.
9. Merril Bainbridge made history as the first Australian woman to achieve a number one with her self-written debut single, a distinct milestone down under.
10. Texas’s “When We Are Together” includes imagery of a ‘spaceman in a shiny suit,’ indicating an otherworldly connection in its lyrics.
11. On “Relight My Fire,” Take That was joined by Lulu. Her guest appearance revived the powerful disco energy of the original.
12. “Relight My Fire” helped Lulu achieve a record for the longest gap between an artist’s debut and first UK number one, a staggering 29-year wait.
