Who was the first female singer to star in a #1 movie and have a #1 album (not a soundtrack) in America at the same time? Dolly Parton. She had the #1 Movie and Album at the end of 1980. According to Box Office totals, the movie 9 To 5 was the #1 movie in late Dec. 1980. At the same time, her album 9 To 5 and Odd Jobs was #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart. This album was not the soundtrack to the movie, so it fits the criteria of the question. 2. What popular female singer has released just four albums - in 1996, 1999, 2005 and 2012?

I guess we should have picked a #1 song instead of a Top-40 song, since there were so many of them. We originally were going for the Nirvana answer, but didn't specify in the question that the title specifically referred to the band instead of just having a word in the title that matched a rock band's name. Here are just a few answers that were accepted: "Smells Like Nirvana" by Weird Al Yankovic "The Sign" by Ace Of Base "Rush Rush" by Paula Abdul "Cream" by Prince Songs with the word "Heart" in them.
