8. Interesting, let's see.

Mind you, I was not in the US, so I'll go by what is in the US however:

1 - Reunited - Peaches and Herb - Was not in the US yet
2 - Bye Bye Bye - 'N Sync - Already in the US... I was a few days away from Macy Gray's "I Try" which I like better, and learned how to play in the Guitar and Uke.
3 - Not applicable

I doubt that I will ever get married.
