December 27, 2009

Gregg Ross came THISCLOSE to answering last week's trivia question. The answer is Mariah Carey. The two biggest songs of the 90's and the 00's are "One Sweet Day" and "We Belong Together," respectively.

Question Of The Week: The first single of the new decade goes to a brand new artist, Ke$ha, for her infectious single "TiK ToK." Even though it went to #1 this last week of 2009, its officially charted for the week ending January 2, 2010 on the Billboard Hot 100. Who was the last artist to have their first #1 as the first song of a brand new year on the Billboard Hot 100 – and what was the song and year?

The answer and new question will be posted on Monday, January 4, 2010 by 5PM ET. Each Monday, you will be able to find the answer to the weekly question as well as a brand new question of the week.

I got an easy one! It's Lady Gaga from the first week of January 2009 with "Just Dance" I'm sure I'm right on this one. :)
I meant to say it was the last time a new artist had their first #1 in a new year. It was the second or third week of January 2009 but the answer is definitely Lady Gaga and Just Dance. I remember it because I am a big Lady Gaga fan!:)
