\t\t\t\t\tThe 500 Best Pop Songs: Staff\u00a0List\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tThe Jeopardy!<\/em> producers chose five songs near the top of the list, which was a staff project that was posted on Billboard.com on Oct. 19, 2023 to mark the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>\u2018s 65th anniversary year. <\/p>\n

\n\tAll of the songs chosen ranked in the top 15 on the list \u2013 Nicki Minaj<\/a>\u2019s \u201cSuper Bass\u201d at No. 13, The Beatles<\/a>\u2019 \u201cI Want to Hold Your Hand\u201d at No. 10, Kelly Clarkson<\/a>\u2019s \u201cSince U Been Gone\u201d at No. 5, The Temptations<\/a>\u2019 \u201cMy Girl\u201d at No. 3 and Whitney Houston<\/a>\u2019s \u201cI Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)\u201d at No. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat covers a healthy span of years \u2013 two songs from the 1960s, one from the \u201980s, one from the \u201900s and one from the \u201910s. The questions drew from the write-ups that accompanied each song on the list. Here are a few examples.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ll tell you something: The Beatles got No. 10 with this 1964 hit, \u2018a force the likes of which pop had never encountered.\u2019 The answer, of course: \u201cI Want to Hold Your Hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c#3 was this Temptations classic about a lover, immediately recognizable from the opening bassline.\u201d You got to know that\u2019s \u201cMy Girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c#5 was this 2005 Kelly Clarkson Grammy winner, \u2018the 21st Century\u2019s greatest contribution to the pop canon so far.\u2019\u201d Yep, that\u2019s \u201cSince U Been Gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThose questions weren\u2019t too tough, but you\u2019ve got to keep in mind that the contestants weren\u2019t pop-culture specialists. They\u2019re just generally well-informed people. We\u2019re glad to know that being steeped in basic pop music trivia is considered an essential part of common knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
