And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Natalie Dormer starred alongside Hozier in the official music video. The video was a silhouette-filled journey through the London Underground.
2. The duet with Timberlake included samples from “Working Day and Night.” Its inclusion lent a rhythmic familiarity.
3. “Until You Were Gone” led the new release wave for Chip’s album. The collaboration with Esmée Denters was a chart-friendly move.
4. “Gone” featured as the third single with Kelly Rowland. Their musical reunion followed the hit “Dilemma.”
5. One Direction launched the “You & I” fragrance. Its timing with the charting single was no coincidence.
6. “Wanting” clocked in at a modest 103 BPM. The tempo matched the track’s catchy rhythm.
7. The duet took home a People’s Choice Award. This recognition highlighted the fans’ approval.
8. “Remember Me” is distinct from Hudson’s 2011 album song. Its thematic elements accompanied her role on *The Voice*.
9. Silent Sound Studios was the mixing ground for Kygo’s track. Known for its acoustics, it served the production well.
10. “Love Drought” charted on the US Billboard Hot 100 post-release. Its associations with Lemonade drove this success.
11. Gnash’s track debuted on the “us” EP. It later found a permanent home on his studio album “we.”
