R U Ready?!

Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)
Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.
Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.
After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.
Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.
I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.
In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.
In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.
Here goes!

Artist of the Week #7
Record POINTS Earned (Not Artist Name) in the comments
(scroll down for additional clues)
For:
500 points………………..American group, formed in NYC in 1985.
Their 1993 album, Very Necessary, has sold over 7 million copies.
How do I know this?
To borrow the name of their Grammy-award winning track from that album, None of Your Business!

.
.
400 points……………….Admittedly, given the artist name, I had always thought of this act as a duo. Although Cheryl James & Sandra Denton are typically in the spotlight, Deidra Roper (aka, DJ Spinderella) is also a member of the hip hop group.
And speaking of duos, Brooklyn 99’s Terry Jeffords & Raymond Holt, performing the choreography to this artist’s track Push It, in the photo below:

400 savory points.
A score worth savouring as well, Neil!
500, though the 300 clue is one of your best!
Much appreciated, Zack!
400 points please! I just guessed to be honest, lol!
Well guessed, Lana!
Thanks so much for the quiz, Geoff!
300
Nice work on the periodic table clue, Jimmy!
400. I had no idea about their album names – I’m usually good at those.
And if asked to name any of their other albums besides the 1993 disc, I don’t think I could either!
I only really know ‘Let’s Talk About Sex’ from school discos at intermediate.
400 for me. Don’t know them well enough for 500 though.
I’m pleased you knew them enough for the 4, John!
400 this week.
Well done on the group member clue, D!
My sister loves this act even to this day. Back in 93 I was living at home still and I always would check out on occasion what she was listening too…This album was one of em and she sill talks abut it at times today…So I guess I owe her the 500 this week…
Well done, Deke & sister of Deke – the family connections continue to pay off this year!
No kidding. I’m still waiting for the roof to cave in! lol…this mornings weather Geoff is -45 with the windchill. Good thing we got that new furnace a few weeks back. lol
My goodness, Deke! Good thing for sure, hope the rest of the renos are going ok too.
And I just checked the standings this morning, if the playoffs started today, it would be PIT vs. NYR, that would be a solid 1st round series!
Pitt VS The Good Guys lol…wow that would be something..
Renos are done for now Geoff. When it warms up (April/May) we will get our doors and windows done.
Our bathroom reno will be done in June/July as the guy we have lined up his house burnt down so his priority is that to say the least. So once he’s done he said he will hook us up and get it done.
500, I sold a loooot of these!
They have you to thank for some of the 7 million copies sold, Mike!
400 please, thanks to the Spinderella clue!
You know your DJs, TVTA!
400. I didn’t know they started that early but probably should’ve guessed. I remembered their DJ’s name though.
I’m pleased you remembered Spinderella, JP!
Hooray for Peppa Pig!
Hear hear, Bruce!
400 please. Push it is used in my fave mash-up of all time with Iggy Pop’s ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’.
I don’t generally care for mash-ups – but that one sounds promising!
500!
Hooray, Sarca!
Ooo, baby, bae-bay. Only 400.
If 400 is ‘only’ – life is good!
Every 400 is an only when you’re trying to keep pace with Sarah!
300 please
Nice work, Harrison!
500 for Mika, 400 for me. Given our respective musical histories, this is disgraceful. I even saw them in concert a few years ago with Vanilla Ice and Young MC and others.
I recall hearing about that ‘i love the 90s’ show, I’m sorry I missed it!
400 this week! Love the first puzzle clue!
Cheers, Paul!
500 because of soooo many high school dances…
Just wait until week #12!
Oh dear. LOL
