Need to bone up on your Billboard Chart history? Ever get a question at pub quiz about a one-hit-wonder and you scream in frustration? Then this series of quizzes will help you! I'll be talking about artists that only had ONE song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. I'll be doing a quiz or three (there's a lot of these songs) for every decade that the Hot 100 has been around. So, get your music brains on and let's begin!

The queens of this year's Grammys, Billie Eilish and Lizzo, both scored their only #1 hits in 2019. Name BOTH SONGS which were mega smashes and invaded the pop culture spectrum. (TWO ANSWERS REQUIRED)
Let's get political! Childish Gambino hit #1 with the trap/afrobeat jam "This is America" in 2018. By WHAT NAME is Gambino more famously known? You might know him as the star of Atlanta on FX.
Bruno Mars does not have just one hit but he helped out a friend and was featured on the 2010 song "Nothin' on You." What Atlanta-raised RAPPER is the main artist on this track?
In the 2010s, the influence of music videos has definitely waned since their heyday in the 80s and 90s. However, without the innovative 2012 video that accompanied WHAT SONG, we might not know the names Gotye and Kimbra.
Everyone knows that Olivia Newton-John, Helen Reddy and Kylie Minogue brought Aussie pop to the charts in the 70s and 80s but there's been a lull in the new millennium. Only TWO AUSTRALIAN WOMEN have made it to the top in the last 20 years. One with a powerful voice singing about not needing Cheap Thrills. The other raps about being Fancy with Charli XCX. Name both these women. (TWO ANSWERS REQUIRED)
Which ENGLISH SINGER/RAPPER, born Adetayo Ayowale Onile-Ere, hit #1 with "Break Your Heart" in 2010? The version featuring Ludacris was released in North America.
Meghan Trainor had us all dancing to THIS 2014 SONG celebrating the big girls out there. Just remember: No Treble!
Which 2013 #1 SONG about materialism name-drops Grey Goose, Cadillac, Cristal and Maybach in the chorus while the singer laments her zip code and suggests her own nickname (Queen Bee)?
"Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too?" might sound like lyrics to an angry song but what CANADIAN REGGAE FUSION BAND took these words and made themselves a #1 hit in 2014?
One Direction never hit #1 and only one of those boys has done so as a solo artist with the 2016 belter "Pillowtalk". Name THIS SINGER. (He's credited only by his first name but I'll accept his surname as well.)
The 2010s were dominated by rap and power pop but in 2014, a crooner hit the top of the charts with a simple piano ballad called All of Me about his then-fiancee, Chrissy Teigen. Name THIS SINGER.
Plagiarism Time! 70s funk group The Gap Band got 17% of royalties and a songwriting credit after Mark Ronson kinda copied their song "Oops Up Side Your Head" to create WHAT 2015 SMASH HIT?
