And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. "Feel It" by The Tamperer feat. Maya samples The Jacksons' "Can You Feel It." The Italian duo borrowed the rhythm and bell motif to craft a catchy dance hit.
2. Maxx released a debut single inspired by Ice MC’s song. This Eurodance hit took influence from Ice MC’s style, achieving significant early success.
3. Technotronic's 1991 single formats included an instrumental track. This added variety and appeal for different music playback situations.
4. Mr. Lee's "Get Busy" reached number 41 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite early success, it didn’t climb higher on this specific chart.
5. "We've Got It Goin' On" by Backstreet Boys features Smooth T. from Fun Factory. This early hit helped establish their presence in the pop scene.
6. Roberto Zanetti frequently collaborated with Alexia on her '90s tracks. Their partnership was a driving force in her Eurodance success during that decade.
7. Ultra Naté's "Free" features background vocals by notable singers. This collaboration added depth and richness to the house track's sound.
8. Martha Wash's vocals were uncredited in Black Box's track. Though unrecognized initially, her contribution was key to the track’s success.
9. Culture Beat's "Inside Out" video was filmed in Hong Kong. This unique location added visual appeal and international flavor.
10. Jane Child's "Don’t Wanna Fall in Love" reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her self-produced track stood out with its distinctive style.
11. Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" was featured in "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Top Spin 3." Its infectious groove made it a suitable choice for these outlets.
12. Dario G's World Cup 1998 track used multi-national instruments. This approach symbolized the event's global nature and celebratory spirit.
