And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Jazz does not feature prominently in "Clutch." Shea Seger’s song combines elements of folk and Americana, delivering a unique alternative sound. The production's emphasis is largely on organic and subdued musical arrangements.
2. "Godhopping" is from the album *Please Describe Yourself*. Released in 2004, it secured Dogs Die in Hot Cars their highest-charting single, peaking at number 24 on the UK Singles Chart.
3. Produced by Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse's lead single remains iconic. The track’s distinct sound draws heavily from '60s girl groups, adding a retro flair to its modern narrative.
4. A unique sound made by member Howie Dorough was creatively incorporated by Max Martin into the Backstreet Boys' track. This embellishment contributed to the song's rhythmic motif.
5. Under the alias Puretone, Josh G. Abrahams released "Stuck In A Groove." The moniker helped distinguish him from other producers and marked a notable release in his electronic music career.
6. Dani Castelar is the producer credited with working on Fabrizio Cammarata’s "Run Run Run." His influence is evident in the song's acoustic-driven, finely engineered quality.
7. The music video for "Chocolate" by Snow Patrol was shot in New York City. Directed by Marc Webb, it adds a visual dimension to the song's themes of introspection and fleeting moments.
8. Following its inclusion on “The Fame,” "Poker Face" was released in 2009 as a prominent single. Lady Gaga's song achieved international acclaim, enhancing the album’s commercial success.
9. Melanie C’s lead single video was filmed in Los Angeles. The city’s backdrop complements the pop vibe of the track, tying visuals closely with the album *Reason*.
10. Keane’s single references Manser’s Shaw, situated near the historic Battle of Hastings site. The song’s lyrical content weaves personal and historical narratives seamlessly.
11. The UK witnessed the BBC banning Robbie Williams's single. The controversial imagery in its music video led to issues with media regulators and broadcasters.
12. Recorded in the outbuilding of the Jeremiah family's residence, "Sewn" captures a raw and authentic production by The Feeling. The intimate setting helped shape the song’s down-to-earth sound.
