And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Bryan Adams and Robert John “Mutt” Lange teamed up on “18 til I Die” for the lead single. The album was part of Adams’ long-time collaboration with Lange.
2. Lisa Stansfield’s song was the lead single for the film “Indecent Proposal”. The soundtrack and black-and-white video captured the film’s dramatic themes.
3. The Pretenders’ song “Never Do That” was produced by Mitchell Froom. His production brought a modern touch to the album “Packed!”.
4. Shania Twain’s “When” hails from her album “Come On Over”. Renowned for its success, it helped cement Twain’s place in country music history.
5. Tina Turner’s track released in May 1992 is pop-rock. The song later appeared on her “Love Songs” compilation, embracing her late-career sound.
6. Roy Orbison originally co-wrote “You Got It”. Bonnie Raitt’s version for “Boys on the Side” gave it new life on the ’90s charts.
7. Jeff Buckley’s “Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk” was a posthumous album. Released after his untimely passing, it offers a glimpse into his evolving sound.
8. Martyn Joseph’s “Talk About It in the Morning” reached the UK Top 50. The song addressed relationship dynamics amid everyday pressure with a thoughtful message.
9. Jennifer Lopez, before her pop fame, appeared in the music video for “Can’t Stop Loving You” by Richard Rogers. The video captures early looks at her career.
10. “The One” served as both the lead single and title for Elton John’s 1992 album. Its reflective video enhanced the song’s introspective feel.
11. Guns N’ Roses covered the Skyliners’ song for “The Spaghetti Incident?”. Their version tasted success with both US and UK audiences.
12. Pet Shop Boys released “Jealousy” on “Behaviour”. Despite being an early composition, it wasn’t released until the ’90s with a real orchestra version.
