Music from 1999 Trivia Questions
1. The song at the top was an easy choice as it is also the number one song of all-time according to "Billboard Magazine". Who provided the vocals for Santana's "Smooth"?

From Quiz The Top 10 Songs of 1999

Answer: Rob Thomas

Carlos himself is a guitarist and considered one of the very best at his trade. The Product hooked up with Santana on "Maria, Maria", which became the top song of 2000. Branch would hook up with Carlos on his next two albums and score a top 10 with "Game Of Love". As for "Smooth", it won a Grammy, spent 12 weeks at the top spot and over a year in the Top 40. Its chart longevity makes it the top song of all-time.

2. "No Scrubs" finished at number two for the year. It spent 25 weeks in the Top 40 and four weeks at the top. What former singer formed and managed TLC?

Answer: Pebbles

Pebbles, nicknamed by her family after Pebbles Flintstone, scored four big hits in the late 80s and early 90s including the number two smash "Mercedes Boy". TLC was an instant success. Its first two singles went platinum and ten of its first eleven singles went at least gold.

Bono, of course, was the last name of her now-departed ex-husband Sonny and "Dark Lady" was the title of her previous number one, in 1974.

She hit the Top 40 over twenty times with and without Sonny, scored four number one hits, six gold singles and "Believe" went platinum.

4. Although "Back At One" by Brian McKnight never hit the top spot, its eight weeks at number two and 33 weeks in the Top 40, propelled it to the number four spot for the year. In what city in New York was Brian born?
