April 1, 1998: Goo Goo Dolls released "Iris" from the City of Angels movie.
For most of 1998, the Hot 100 chart stipulated that a song be sold as a single to be eligible. Many record labels refused to sell specific singles in America, so folks would have to buy the album to get the song.

November 11, 1991: One week before his "Black Or White" music video airs, a memo circulated at MTV, instructing the network's on-air personnel to refer to Michael Jackson as the King of Pop at least twice a week during the next two weeks.
Frank Sinatra was the King of Pop in the mid-1940s; perhaps the first bearer of the crown. Elvis Presley was King of Pop from 1956, when he exploded like a supernova on to world consciousness, until 1960, when he emerged from the army and began his fade into a routine of bad Hollywood films.
‘Get It On’ was the single’s original U.K. title and Marc Bolan and his group took the track, originating from the album ‘Electric Warrior,' to No. 1 in 1971.
