\n\tThe season three premiere of Celebrity Jeopardy! <\/em>took an unexpected turn when all three contestants failed to identify Usher\u2019s<\/a> career-defining hit \u201cYeah!\u201d during the Triple Jeopardy round. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe question, featured in the category \u201c2004, What a Year!,\u201d prompted contestants with, \u201cWe got so caught up in this Usher song that it spent 12 weeks at the top of the charts.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tMax Greenfield (New Girl<\/em>) responded first, incorrectly guessing, \u201cWhat is \u2018Caught Up?\u2019\u201d \u2013 a different Usher track from 2005. Camilla Luddington (Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>) then followed with the incorrect \u201cWhat is \u2018All Caught Up?\u2019\u201d. <\/p>\n

\n\tW. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America<\/em>) chose not to respond, letting the timer expire. Bell later joked, \u201cFeels so awkward to be the Black guy who doesn\u2019t know the Usher song. I was listening to Rage Against the Machine at the time, sorry everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReleased in January 2004, \u201cYeah!\u201d was an instant cultural and commercial phenomenon. Featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, the single spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained on the chart for 45 weeks, becoming the longest-running No. 1 single of that year. It ranked No. 2 on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100 Songs of the Decade (2000\u20132009), second only to Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cWe Belong Together,\u201d as the top song of that decade.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe track served as the lead single from Usher\u2019s fourth studio album, Confessions<\/em>, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over 10 million copies in the U.S., earning a diamond certification from the RIAA. \u201cYeah!\u201d also won a Grammy Award for Best Rap\/Sung Collaboration at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards and garnered widespread critical acclaim for its fusion of crunk and R&B.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYeah!\u201d achieved global success, topping charts in over 12 countries and earning platinum certifications in markets such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, and Norway. In Australia, the song was certified 5\u00d7 platinum by ARIA for selling 350,000 units. In 2024, the track achieved a milestone when it was certified 13\u00d7 platinum by the RIAA, reflecting 13 million units sold in the U.S. <\/p>\n

\n\tIts resurgence in popularity was further fueled by Usher\u2019s 2024 Super Bowl halftime show performance, which caused his overall Spotify streams to increase 550%. Specifically, \u201cYeah!\u201d featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris saw a 520% streaming boost following the performance. The Super Bowl performance was the most-watched halftime show in history, drawing 129.3 million viewers.<\/p>\n

\n\tLater in the Celebrity Jeopardy!<\/em> game, Bell redeemed himself by correctly answering a question about N.W.A.\u2019s historic chart achievements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
