And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Tina Arena’s song is associated with the musical “Notre-Dame de Paris.” It adds a pop dimension to the drama of Victor Hugo’s tale.
2. Dolly Parton wrote “I Will Always Love You” in 1973. Rik Waller’s cover entered the UK Singles Chart, reaching number 6.
3. Marius de Vries produced “Trashed” for Skin. His production added a sharp edge to the track’s sonic texture.
4. Jessica Garlick’s single was the UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. It impressively placed fourth overall.
5. “Finders Keepers” by You Me At Six appeared on Myspace before its official release, a reflection of early 2000s digital trends.
6. Anastacia’s debut studio album was “Not That Kind.” It launched her career with a mix of pop and rock influences.
7. JT Woodruff led the vocals for Hawthorne Heights on their 2006 track. His voice defined the band’s emotional sound.
8. A large pierced black lips prop was part of the Germany Eurovision entry’s performance in 2009. Visually bold, if not wildly memorable.
9. “Free Me” by Emma Bunton saw success in the United Kingdom. It reached number five on their singles chart.
10. Rick Rubin’s production on Neil Diamond’s “Home Before Dark” album provided a stripped-down, focused feel.
11. Chesney Hawkes’s 2005 single reached number 48. While not a chart-topper, it continued his musical presence post-90s.
12. Mariah Carey’s song from E=MC² revolves around her deceased father. The lyrics explore themes of loss and remembrance.
