[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I almost called foul on "Free Fallin'". I have heard it played on 80s weekends and always assumed it was a 80s tune. Was released in 1989 but peaked in January 1990 so does qualify.

 

[Aaron]

If you see anything in my list that looks 1989 let me know, I can delete it

 

[Aaron]

B-52's "Roam" peaked in March 1990
Skid Row "I Remember You" peaked in early 1990
Rod Stewart "Downtown Train" peaked in February 1990
Calloway "I Wanna Be Rich" peaked in May 1990
Roxette "Dangerous" peaked in March 1990

Those were questionable to me also, released in 1989

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

They qualify. They are like "Escape (The Pina Colata Song)" as a 70s and 80s song.

 

[Channel98]

Unforgettable peaked at #3 on the August 17 1991 adult contemporary chart and #14 on the August 24 1991 Hot 100. Nat "King" Cole's original version with the Nelson Riddle orchestra was a #12 hit in January 1952. In 1961, Cole recorded a new version (in stereo) with the Ralph Carmichael orchestra for his album The Nat King Cole Story. The 1991 hit combines Natalie Cole's vocals with Nat's vocals from the 1961 version.

 

[HecticArt]

Top 20+ of any song released in the 90's is going to take me a little while to sort through.
I'm going to need to figure out how to narrow down the list.

 

[Channel98]

Based on chart performance – weeks at number one, weeks in the top ten, weeks in the top 40 and weeks on the Hot 100, here are the ten biggest songs of the 1990s:

Iris – Goo Goo Dolls (18, 29, 45, 47)
Don't Speak – No Doubt (16, 28, 52, 63)
One Sweet Day – Mariah Carey/Boyz II Men (16, 19, 26, 27)
Macarena – Los Del Rio (14, 23, 37, 60)

"Sorry I never told you, Mariah
All I want to say
Is that I'm sick of hearing your songs
And I wish they'd go away

Never could I imagine
I'd hear your Christmas song for 32 years
And every time it starts to play
It always brings me to tears

And I know you're going to keep recording
And every one of your songs will be on the chart
But I know one day there won't be any more
And that is the desire of my heart
One sweet day
I'll wait patiently for that one sweet day"

 

[scotchandcigar]

Top 20+ of any song released in the 90's is going to take me a little while to sort through.
I'm going to need to figure out how to narrow down the list.

I finished step 1: grabbing all the 90s songs from my Scotch Sampler favorites list. It's 184 entries; each one is one or more songs. So maybe it's 300 or 400 songs. Step 2 will be paring those down.

 

[Aaron]

My song listening at home or office is through iTunes (Music Match). It counts number of plays. I dumped 90s to excel sorted by play count, then assigned quick ratings for the songs to figure out my favorites.

 

[scotchandcigar]

I have a question. I have many favorite songs from the 90s that are tracks from an album, but not singles. The albums have rankings, but not those songs. Do they qualify or not?

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I have a question. I have many favorite songs from the 90s that are tracks from an album, but not singles. The albums have rankings, but not those songs. Do they qualify or not?

In my opinion, if the album was released or charted in the 1990s, they would qualify.

 

[Channel98]

That would include Garth Brooks' 1998 album Double Live which included Friends In Low Places with the infamous third verse: "Just wait till I finish this glass....."
