Note about 9/9 Jeopardy & Millionaire (*Spoilers*)

Proving that only so many things can be asked about on a game show, today's first-run Millionaire featured the following $8,000 question in the category of "Pop Music":
In 2008, who broke a record set by Elvis Presley when her single "Touch My Body" became her eighteenth number-one hit?
A: Madonna B: Mariah Carey
C: Janet Jackson D: Celine Dion


The contestant answered correctly with B: Mariah Carey.

Later in the day (depending on your market, I guess), Jeopardy featured this Final Jeopardy! clue in the category of "Pop Singers":
Chartering her 18th no. 1 single in April 2008, she now has more Billboard No. 1 pop hits than any solo artist

All three gentlemen answered correctly with Mariah Carey.

I just thought it was kind of quirky that on the two current syndicated quiz shows, they'd feature variations on the same question on the same day.

I don't get GSN, but a while back I was in a situation where I was able to watch quite a lot and on several different shows that all aired on GSN within a few days of each other (I have no clue on the original air dates - but they all seemed to date from the same era) 4 shows had "Masters & Johnson's" as the answer - I think they were Password, Tic-Tac-Dough, Blockbusters and I think it might have been Pyramid.
