And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Dion’s “All By Myself” borrows its melodic base from Sergei Rachmaninoff. No small feat, as integrating classical elements into pop charts was uncommon.
2. Cher revamped “Love Hurts” in 1991. A nod perhaps to evergreen heartbreak — and her ability to traverse decades with relatable themes.
3. A full gospel choir makes a powerful entry in Diana Ross’s “In the Ones You Love.” Nothing boosts emotion like some uplifting choral support.
4. Released as the lead single from “The Album,” “I Still Believe In You” reinforced Cliff Richard’s steady presence on charts in 1992.
5. FireHouse’s “When I Look Into Your Eyes” ascended to number 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking another hit ballad for the band.
6. “I Learned from the Best” was penned by Diane Warren. Master of the emotional ballad, her influence hit charts yet again with Houston’s voice.
7. Lost love echoes through N-Trance’s “Tears In The Rain.” Rain, it would appear, evokes more than just literal precipitation here.
8. Written in response to the death of Princess Diana, “War of Nerves” captures a moment of introspection and cultural impact.
9. “Run to You” by Roxette incorporates a detour in its structure, providing listeners a brief sonic journey before gravitating back to the chorus.
10. On the aptly titled album, “If We Fall in Love Tonight” distinguishes itself as an original track amidst a predominantly nostalgic compilation.
11. In 1994, “One More Chance” by E.Y.C. found its place at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart, a fair share of recognition for the trio.
12. Kylie Minogue’s music video for “Put Yourself in My Place” channels the film “Barbarella,” blending sci-fi charm with its narrative arc.
