It's All About "_____ Me"!

Anyway, I recently wondered how many songs I could find whose titles were of the form "____ Me" where the blank was an imperative verb form. For example: "Satisfy Me" by Billy Satellite in 1984 peaked at #64 on the Hot-100. What would not qualify are songs with more than two words in the title ("Think About Me") or ones in which the second word is "Me" but the first is not an imperative verb ("Why Me", "Sentimental Me", "Jammin' Me", etc).

Here's a quiz I concocted from my research. Each entry lists a musical artist and the year in which they had a single peak at that position (i.e. the #1 entry was a #1-peaking single from Blondie in 1980). How many of these can you name? (Hint: each entry uses a different word.)

1. Blondie, 1980
2. Sixpence None The Richer, 1999
3. Silento, 2015
4. Fleetwood Mac, 1982
5. Uncle Kracker, 2001
6. King Floyd, 1971
7. Bruce Springsteen, 1984
8. Esther Phillips, 1962
9. Madonna, 1991
10. Steppenwolf, 1969
11. Pointer Sisters, 1985
12. Elvis Presley, 1964
13. Kid Ink with Chris Brown, 2014
14. Yvonne Elliman, 1976
15. Barenaked Ladies, 2000
16. Diana Ross, 1971
