And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Mike Shinoda contributed additional production. Busta’s collab with Linkin Park marked his departure from Aftermath/Interscope, though it featured the band’s influence heavily.
2. The German title translates to “My part,” hinting at cannibalistic themes drawn from a notorious case. It’s a biting commentary served atop heavy riffs.
3. The track features funk rock in the verses. Red Hot Chili Peppers mix old-school funk rhythms with melodic tendencies of their 2006 album.
4. State of Grace originally performed the song, later covered by Klaxons in 2007. Their version reached the higher echelons of UK chart success.
5. Oasis scored their seventh UK number one with this single in 2005. Internal label tensions simmered around its release.
6. FIFA Football 2004 was the first to feature the Kasabian track before its single release. The band made a strong initial chart impact with it.
7. Lounge-inspired trip hop defines Elevator Suite’s 2000 track. The single became a standout groove on the UK chart and live scenes.
8. Memphis, home to Graceland, appears in Presley’s song. Personal reflections meet rock-influenced, albeit reluctant, melodies.
9. The 2004 video was set in London. The futuristic vibe offered visual energy aligned with its upbeat musical framing.
10. A sample from Casualty underscores the single. Oxide & Neutrino’s UK garage classic gained mass appeal with this TV theme twist.
11. Amy Winehouse’s cover in 2007 brought fresh attention. Her soulful rework captured chart-topping success and notable acclaim.
12. The single was nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It highlights pop-punk’s indelible mark on early 2000s airwaves.
