Throwback Thursday: 1998 (2 Weeks at #1)

All HUGE hits today on Throwback Thursday. I can't believe that all of these songs only spent 2 weeks at #1. They're all great (Yes, even that Celine song is great in small doses) so I'm not going to do individual intros. Enjoy!

Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing) (11/14-11/21)

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On (2/28-3/7)

Usher - Nice & Slow (2/14-2/21)

Janet Jackson - Together Again (1/31-2/7)

Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply (1/17-1/24)

Throwback Thursday: 1997

This is the year I graduated from Middle School and started High School!

10. Mase - Feel So Good
9. Aaliyah - The One I Gave My Heart To
8. Chumbawamba - Tubthumping
7. Boyz II Men - 4 Seasons of Loneliness
6. Somethin' For the People featuring Trina and Tamara - My Love it the Shhh!
5. LSG - My Body
4. Allure featuring 112 - All Cried Out
3. LeAnn Rimes - How Do I Live
2. Usher - You Make Me Wanna....

It's crazy to think that Usher was already established in 1997. He was 19 when this video was made and man, this is a great song, I don't care WHO you are. It definitely has that "1997-1998" feel to it, doesn't it?


1. Elton John - Candle In the Wind 1997/Something About the Way You Look Tonight

All Time Hot 100 (Part 9)

All Time Hot 100 (Part 1)

To celebrate its 55th anniversary, Billboard is rolling out a countdown of the top 100 charting songs in its history. So, since that's kind of what I'm doing on an upcoming bonus episode, I thought I'd try to track down videos for each set of ten as they are rolled out.

Here's the first 10. And apparently, they're doing 10 a day for 10 days.

100. Usher - You Make Me Wanna... (1997)

99. Fun feat. Janelle Monae - We Are Young (2012)

98. Emotions - Best of My Love (1977)

97. Maroon 5 - One More Night (2012)

96. Phil Collins - Another Day in Paradise (1989)

95. B.J. Thomas - Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head (1970)

94. Puff Daddy and Faith Evans feat. 112 - I'll Be Missing You (1997)

93. John Cougar - Hurts So Good (1982)

92. Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly With His Song (1973)

(15 years later than when it charted, but c'mon, the 70's weren't about music videos, people)

91. Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight? (1960)

(Of course this is only 8 years later than when it charted. Good lookin' out, Elvis)
