These 3 are surprises. 92 was Canadian so maybe I can understand. 94 is novelty so maybe. 96 is a tavesty. Top 20 is where it should have wound up.

That's a surprise.
THAT'S A SHOCK!
I agree. These shoulda made 40.
My faves from the list.
I'm not sure if I've seen this one posted either.
I never knew he charted again.
I could have sworn I remember chatting about #81 and #99 before, but I could find anything. #90 bubbled under before breaking the 100. It's the best in the list for me.

"Centerfield" peaked at #44 after six weeks on the chart and held for a week. This week was the last week it was on the chart. It spent a total of 12 weeks on the 100.

Centerfield was all over MTV nearly nonstop for months. It really seemed like it would have been a top 10.
