For me one surprise was when I found out Lauren Bennett from G.R.L. was one of the featured acts on "Party Rock Anthem". I was looking up who they were because I really liked Pitbull's "Wild Wild Love" which they were featured on and also "Ugly Heart", and I saw Lauren Bennett was one of the members and I was like "This name sounds really familiar..." and I found out! It's really funny because when PRA was big, I was wondering who in the world Lauren Bennett was but didn't bother to look it up.
I had another one but I forgot now so I'll post if I can remember...

Not trying to be funny but I thought Florence + The Machine was a man/drag queen when I saw the "Dogs Days are Over" video.

I knew of Ludacris before I knew the word "ludicrous". So in a TV show when a girl said "That is so ludicrous" I was really confused as to why she was making a reference to Ludacris.

When I discovered that Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It" reached #1 on Hot 100 and "Uptown Girl" didn't.
I also thought that "Thriller" was a #1 song.

When I realized a few years ago that it was Robyn who sings "You want a piece of me?" in "Piece of Me."

2018 EDIT: THIS WAS MY DUMBEST POST EVER ON PULSE
Just found out that Barry Manilow is gay. Literally one of the last performers I'd ever suspect to come out, probably because you expect gay performers to be more colorful and vivid and not slow ballad, easy listening type like him.
Meaning that my perception of gay artists was always shaped by the likes of Elton John and George Michael, not Barry Manilow.

Is it really a surprise that Barry is gay? I've known since I was 5 and I didn't even know what gay was at that time.

I just learned that "Eagle-Eye Cherry" is this guy's real actual birth name (which I initially thought was a name of a band) AND that he's a half brother of Neneh Cherry. And that they're both Swedish.

I literally saw nothing about it anywhere other than that one trolling status. I guess that's good because it no longer qualifies as news! Unless it's because Barry Manilow no longer qualifies as news lol

They got married in 2014, but it wasn't known until the following year. For some reason, I thought it was a lot more recent, but I do remember the reports and some of his friends commenting.

Not sure if shocked is the right word, but the fact that I've listened to both songs about million times each, why is it just now hitting me that Missy's rap from "1, 2 Step" is interpolated from "Square Biz" by Teena Marie? How the hell have I never noticed that?

I was shocked to find out that Border Girl from Paulina Rubio actually went gold in the US. None of the English singles did particularly well and even at the height of sales in the early 2000s, Latin artists weren't moving those kind of numbers without big crossover hits.

"Teenage Dream" was re-written entirely 5 times and almost went: "you make me feel like I'm born again, all brand new c'mon Peter Pan..." and was about like eating ice cream for breakfast until Katy called up Bonnie McKee who came up with the Teenage Dream concept.
