And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:

3. The music video for Snap!'s 1992 hit features scenes filmed at the Kennedy Space Center, enhancing the track's out-of-this-world vibe.
4. "I Gotta Feeling" broke digital records in the UK, being the first to sell over a million purely through digital purchases. It highlights the changing landscape of music consumption.
5. Max Graham put a modern twist on "Owner of a Lonely Heart" with Yes, blending rock and electronic elements seamlessly for the 2005 remix.
6. Ana Matronic eschews romance in "Kiss You Off," describing it as a song of love lost rather than found. It's a lyrical escape from a fading relationship.
7. The Paul Oakenfold-produced track's music video, directed by Jake Nava, shows Brittany Murphy's on-screen charm. It's a visual complement to the song's electronic beat.
8. In the video for "Sound of the Underground," Girls Aloud dons futuristic metallic outfits, emphasizing a sleek, otherworldly aesthetic fit for their debut vibe.
9. Scooter's 2007 single favored the dance-heavy jumpstyle, as demonstrated in the energetic movements of the Sheffield Jumpers who steal the show in the video.
10. Johnny Marr lent his guitar expertise to Pet Shop Boys' single, infusing it with his signature jangle pop style, adding richness to the synth-pop backdrop.
11. Darude's trance hit title comes from his synthesizer, the Roland JP-8080, which greeted users with "sand storm" on startup, making it more about gear than meteorology.
12. Kylie's video features her in a creatively staged pink box set, adding a vivid visual focus that complemented the dance rhythms of her single.
