Throwback Thursday: 1991 (5 Weeks at #1)

Kind of a hilarious song to be posting late. I actually love this song. It takes me back to riding in the car with my stepdad. At one time, he owned all of Paula's albums.

Paula Abdul - Rush Rush (6/15-7/13)

Throwback Thursday: 1990 (3 Weeks at #1) (Part 2)

Last week, we looked at 3 songs that spent 3 weeks at #1 in 1990, this week, let's look at 3 more!

We've got two fun ones and then a somber one. Enjoy :)

Janet Jackson - Escapade (3/3-3/17)

Paula Abdul featuring The Wild Pair - Opposites Attract (2/10-2/24)

Michael Bolton - How Am I Supposed to Live Without You (1/20-2/3)

Throwback Thursday: 1991 (1 Week at #1) (Part 1)

13 songs spent 1 week at #1 in 1991. So I've split them in two. These are from the second half of the year. Next week we'll look at the first half.


P.M. Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss (11/30)

This song samples Spandau Ballet's "True". Which at the time was only 8 years old. Just like I was. I feel like I would have been really  into P.M. Dawn if I was 20 in 1991.

Michael Bolton - When a Man Loves a Woman (11/23)

A cover of a Percy Sledge song that went to #1 in 1966 (for TWO weeks! Take that Michael Bolton!) Also, according to Wikipedia: "This version has the distinction of being the last number one song to chart on the old Billboard Hot 100 charting system which relied on sales and airplay reports before switching over to Soundscan."

Karyn White - Romantic (11/2)

This is the only song this week that I couldn't at least hum a few bars of. Seems like fairly standard early 90's R&B? Who has some cool Karyn White stories?

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch featuring Loleatta Holloway - Good Vibrations (10/5)

Feel it, feel it. (Listen to the ad libs that Mark Wahlberg puts into this song. I love them so much)

Paula Abdul - The Promise of a New Day (9/14)

This is a pretty catchy song from the album that also had "Rush, Rush" which is a pretty great song in and of itself.

EMF - Unbelievable (7/20)

It's weird to see them actually performing this. It feels to me like this song has just always existed on the radio and nowhere else.

All Time Hot 100 (Part 4)

We're almost halfway through the All Time Hot 100, which Billboard has been releasing every day. I basically just go to the Main Site and that day's list is on the side-scrolly, featured articles thing right there.

70. Paula Abdul - Rush, Rush (1991)

69. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder - Ebony and Ivory (1982)

68. Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger (2011)

67. Tag Team - Whoomp! (There It Is) (1993)

66. The 5th Dimension - Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (1969)

65. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - I Love Rock 'n' Roll (1982)

64. Stevie B - Because I Love You (The Postman Song) (1990)

63. Brandy & Monica - The Boy is Mine (1998)

62. John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over (1980)

(No music video for this one, not very surprisingly)

61. J. Geils Band - Centerfold (1982)
