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!

It's hard to believe that the Jonas Brothers have been in our lives for nearly 15 years now. Those cute teens have grown into men, getting married and having children, and they finally ascended to the top of the charts in 2019 with "Sucker." NAME ALL THREE JONAS BROS. (First Names Please. THREE ANSWERS REQUIRED.)
Speaking of teens getting to the top, WHICH 19-YEAR-OLD RAPPER got their #1 in 2016 with the bop "Panda"? Don't forget the extra I.
Jamaican singer Omi hit the #1 spot in 2015 with a cute diddy of a reggae-infused song. Name THIS SONG which is maybe inspired by the guys and gals who root on the Catherine Hall All-Stars and Granville Jaguars.
In last week's quiz, I talked about the lack of crooners in the 2010s but last year (2019), THIS SCOTTISH SINGER brought his blue-eyed soul to the top of the charts with his hit, "Someone You Loved."
Like the Jonas Brothers, THIS FORMER DISNEY STAR took a minute to get to the top. In 2019, she released "Lose You to Love Me" which a lot of people have guessed is about her equally-famous ex-boyfriend.
The 2010s saw the rise of electronic duos making huge waves. This includes The Chainsmokers who hit #1 in 2016 with WHAT SONG that featured Halsey?
All of the rest of our questions are about featured artists who scored their only #1 but let's stay on this theme of EDM duos. Way back in 2011, GoonRock & Lauren Bennett helped sing an Anthem that helped WHICH ABBREVIATED BAND Rock and Party with the nation?
Wanz and Ray Dalton helped Macklemore and Ryan Lewis with vocals on two of their 2013 hits, both of which were #1 smashes. Name EITHER SONG.
To finish our theme of EDM duos, let's go to the pioneers of this genre: Daft Punk. Formed in 1993, they finally hit #1 in 2017 as the backup on "Starboy," a spacey song from WHAT CANADIAN SINGER?
Migos cannot technically be called a one-hit wonder as member Quavo has a couple of #1s under his belt. But on WHAT MIGOS SONG did rapper Lil Uzi Vert record his only #1 in 2017?
I will give you the featured artists, song and year which gave them their #1. You give me the MAIN ARTIST on three of them: 1) Afrojack and Nayer- Give Me Everything (2011) / 2) Calvin Harris- We Found Love (2011) / 3) Janelle Monae- We Are Young (2012) / 4) Wizkid & Kyla- One Dance (2016) / 5) Ty Dolla $ign- Psycho (2018) (THREE ANSWERS REQUIRED)
PLAGIARISM CORNER: Every heard of Da' T.R.U.T.H.'s "Joyful Noise"? Katy Perry sure did! Or it might've been her featured artist, Juicy J, who got his only #1 with WHAT 2014 SMASH? They might've been mad because Joyful Noise is rather religious while it's copier has darker themes but don't worry: they got $2.78 million and songwriting credits.
