Not sure what happened to the CHR Trivia thread, but since it usually deals with older songs, I decided to just start a new one here.
Now then, what do these three songs have in common:
"Only Wanna Be With You" - Hootie & The Blowfish
"Can't Stop Loving You" - Van Halen
"Take Me Home Tonight" - Eddie Money

Hmmm... not familiar with much about the Eddie Money song. Is it chart-related or with the actual song itself?

They all reference other songs' lyrics in their own lyrics and attribute them. (Bob Dylan ("Idiot Wind"), Ray Charles ("I Can't Stop Loving You"), Ronnie Spector [of The Ronettes] ("Be My Baby"))

^That is indeed correct!
Now, I just realized that nobody answered the last trivia question in the CHR Trivia Topic. What do these three songs have in common:
Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive - Men At Work
Russians - Sting
Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand - Primitive Radio Gods

The song titles are all also names of artists, and vice versa? (Either that, or I'm reading the artist/title order incorrectly.)

Hervard's clue may have helped. I haven't heart "DH&MJ" or "Russians" in some time. "Standing Outside..." does have the sound of a bell clanging (can be heard towards the end of the track). I'm guessing the other two do, as well.

That is correct! "Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive" has the bell tolling at the very beginning of the song, before the music even starts. On "Russians", the bell begins ringing at the very end of the song.
In "Standing Outside", I believe there's a bell ringing several times throughout the song (I swore I remembered hearing the bell near the beginning of the song as well) But I haven't heard it for quite some time, so I'd have to go back and check.

Well, I'm stumped, but I think it's a little too early for a clue right now.

I'm trying to think of a hint that won't give it all away....
All I'll say is look at another aspect. Why do most people come on Pulse for?

Should I just give out the answer or do you still want to figure it out?

Nope.
I Will Remember You - #6
No Diggity - #1
I Could Fall In Love - N/A because there was no physical release.

Let's try a little more to figure it out.
Is the common thread in the song title, song artist, subject matter of the song, or what?

Let's try a little more to figure it out. Is the common thread in the song title, song artist, subject matter of the song, or what? I'll just say this: The three songs/artists in question really couldn't have less in common except for that one thing.  "I Remember You" is from a hard rock band, "No Diggity" is from an R&B/New Jack Swing group, and "I Could Fall In Love" is from a deceased Tejano singer who could have been huge! Last hint, and this will probably give it away, but I just want this to be out in the open already.  They all reached the same position on one particular chart. What position and what chart? ;) |

I was going to say the CHR/Pop chart but I can't for the life of me remember of where No Diggity peaked. For some reason, I thought it went to the Top 10. I know Selena just missed it though.

Nope, "No Diggity" did indeed reach #12 on the R&R chart. I know that "I'll Remember You" only got to #12 because I remember being surprised that it was on Casey's Top 100 of 1990, even though it gained less points than some of the other songs it was ranked over. Seems that, in some cases, songs got credit for the frozen week while others did not. But yeah, I remembered writing down that it peaked at #12 as I was listening to the show. Then, I checked the other songs and saw that they, too, peaked at #12. Kind of a random trivia idea, but that's cool; it really had us guessing.
Unless someone else wants to give it a shot, I'll try to think of another one a little later on.

They all missed the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100?

I have one: what kind of milestone did "Opposites Attract" reach when it hit #1 in 1990?

I'll have to chew on that one a spell, but I just want to say that stefan85 and radio2009 combined to give the right answer. Basically, it was the fact that they all missed the Top 40, but still get much recurrent airplay nowadays.
