Why?
Well, I decided to use 20q.net to see if it could figure out the artists (artist and song is too much, I think, for that program), and it successfully guessed all three artists. So, for the fun of it, I intend to provide the questions it asked and the answers it got, at which point, of course, they will be revealed.
Alright, since nobody asked for it, here goes — note that the first question is always “are you a music-related person, place, or thing”, so I’m not counting it, and Q20 uses broader categories for things that can’t really be yes/no or are uncertain.
Song #1
01. Are you more than one person? Yes.
02. Have you had a Top 40 hit in the last 10 years? Yes.*
