The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Re: 2019 Current Events Study Guide
Twenty-five years after it was released, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" tops the Billboard Hot 100. It is the first holiday song to top the chart since "The Chipmunk Song" ruled in 1959 and gives Carey her 19th number one, putting her just one behind the Beatles for the most all-time.

Re: 2019 Current Events Study Guide
I was hoping for this! I've finally embraced the weirdness of Billboard's chart methodology, and I love that the Christmas songs pop up again every year. On a related note, "Last Christmas" didn't chart on the Hot 100 until 2016, on the occasion of George Michael's death.cheezguyty wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 6:17 pm Twenty-five years after it was released, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" tops the Billboard Hot 100.

wouldn't expect anyone to remember the name...but yeah the event would be fair game...is how i am going to use it in my bar trivia question...Fallon Sherrock became the first woman to win a match at the world championships for what sport? the tom there would be simply sport...how many sports do woman and men compete against one another? not that many, so it brings it down to what is basically a multiple choice without giving the choicesdavey wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 1:52 pmI think it could.
