Sorry, had to check out for a bit. Here are your CLUES:

7. Recently put out a long-overdue best-of.
12. You're kidding, right? You've all owned this song since you were six. I thought this would be first off the board.
16. Their most well-known song is courtest of a VW commercial.
17. One of the song titles on either side of this one will provide a clue.
19. Wouldn't she?

Forgot to add a clue for the puzzle song: You won't find it on a map.
