US #1s of 1991

We must have been stone crazy.

I like a few of these, but the only one I'd listen to right now is PM Dawn

top tens overall >>>>>>>>>> #1s

Ranked:

Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
Love Will Never Do
Unbelievable
I Like the Way
Joyride
Baby, Baby
Cream
Good Vibrations
Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)
Black or White

Love Will Never Do..

top tens overall >>>>>>>>>> #1s

"Vibeology" peaked outside the top 10 so it's a wash in my eyes.

PM Dawn is all-time.

Cream is Prince's ickiest hit.

From these 8, probably:

"Justify My Love," Madonna
"Love Will Never Do (Without You)," Janet Jackson
"Someday," Mariah Carey
"One More Try," Timmy T
"Baby Baby," Amy Grant
"I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)," Hi-Five
"Rush Rush," Paula Abdul
"Romantic," Karyn White

sh-boogie flop?

1. Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
2. Black or White
3. Love Will Never Do
4. Justify My Love
5. Cream

Voted "Someday". Mariah Carey's best single.

'Cream'

Quite a fair amount of this list is aural excrement, to put it kindly.

goddamn that's a lot of #1s. true democracy. the promise of a new day, nearly every week! which is what i voted for.

baby baby

i protest 'gypsy woman' not reaching number one

oh, Justify My Love, no question

wow, no wonder I was knee-deep in Spaceman 3, J&MC, MBV, Dinosaur Jr, EFIL4ZAGGIN, etc.

Janet probably? I almost voted for the Mariah but my wife said it's NOT the one with the "Genius Of Love" sample.

Great list

This is all straight up Don't Worry Be Happy post-Reagan hypoxia... Surprised "Ice Ice Baby" missed the start of the calendar year.

seemingly lastless

"Love Will Never Do (Without You)" is not only the worst Rhythm Nation single, it's the worst song on the album

plenty of these are pretty great, some just for nostalgic reasons. the hi-five is a jam. heard it two days ago and was all shit yeah!

amy grant easy

"Justify My Love," Madonna
"Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," C+C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams
"Someday," Mariah Carey
"I've Been Thinking About You," Londonbeat
"Unbelievable," EMF
"Good Vibrations," Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch featuring Loleatta Holloway
"Set Adrift on Memory Bliss," P.M. Dawn

I will end up voting for one of these

C+C

that's the only one I could imagine still dancing to today, somehow

"Love Will Never Do (Without You)" "Miss You Much" is not only the worst Rhythm Nation single, it's the worst song on the album

to be fair, though, both are the only singles that Jackson had no hand in writing.

This list reminds me of the greatest comp in history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_Party_to_Go_2

Madge.

Guys, "Black Cat" is on Rhythm Nation.

But I side with Alfred that "Love Will Never Do" > "Miss You Much"

Don't understand why you insist

I think Black or White, everything else aside, is a pretty great 12 bar blues (actually 14 bar). With a cool bridge and the black midi fill coming out of it.

New Orleans brass band version:
https://soundcloud.com/user-60647372/micheal-jackson-black-or-white

"Black Cat" rules

"Miss You Much" also rules

Honestly, the only thing "Love Will Never Do" has going for it is the video

I had an argument with a friend yesterday about "Black Cat." I've realized I can argue both sides ("It's leaden, it sucks!" vs "It rocks, it's awesome!").

the album version has Herb Alpert playing and more leisure for the keyboard pattern

(Every Janet Jackson video from "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" on is good; fight me)

I won't fight what's right.

"Love Will Never Do" and "Alright" are the two on the album that most sound to me like what it felt like to live in Minneapolis circa 1990.

it's weird that i remember hearing a lot of these
number ones really clearly on the radio in the
car. i have no idea why i remember 1991 so
vividly.

they're all so cringey

Madonna PM Dawn and C&C. Oh and Mariah. The rest is shite. Granted I obsessed over the Prince record but I was oblivious to his better recs.

I will vote for any Prince over anybody else.

it's a tough pick between "justify my love" and "set adrift on memory bliss" for me. "black or white" is also great and i enjoy a number of others on the list.

"the first time" seems like one of those songs that was at the time the act's biggest hit but is now not remembered nearly as much as some of the lesser hits scored by the same act. i have a feeling "happy", which peaked at #20, is probably just as remembered. i have to assume that "the first time" is among the songs some of y'all are thinking of when you speak of shite/cringey aural excrement but fuck it, it's a perfectly serviceable middle school slow dance number. (also a friendly reminder that "save the best for last" is (correctly) acknowledged as canon on this forum!)

goddamn that's a lot of #1s. true democracy.

turnover at #1 would slow enormously for years after this one for one simple reason -- from the week "set adrift" went #1 going forward, the charts were now computed using actual sales/airplay data instead of survey responses from radio programmers and retailers

I'm putting together 1993's top tens and uh wow -- the faucet closed

PM Dawn vs EMF

goddamn that's a lot of #1s. true democracy.

turnover at #1 would slow enormously for years after this one for one simple reason -- from the week "set adrift" went #1 going forward, the charts were now computed using actual sales/airplay data instead of survey responses from radio programmers and retailers

so basically this was the result of fake democracy! but i like it better this way. i like turnover. i like clutter. maybe democracy sucks after all. wonder if actual pop listeners/voters would have elevated my beloved "promise of a new day" to #1. on the other hand, if the first #1 actual listeners elected was "set adrift," that's a good result too. maybe democracy works. i'm torn.

has to be Justify My Love

‘or Set Adrift on a Memory Bliss

this list kind of sucks. voting for "rush, rush" even though objectively it is a mess

C&C Music Factory

OK I guess this would be the first “The pop charts are not as good as they used to be, mannn” kinda year. Nothing here’s really out-and-out _bad_, just mediocre. “You’re in Love” is not as good as “Hold On”. “Black or White” started MJ’s descent into New Jersey-land. “When a Man Loves a Woman” is predictably terrible (though it did inspire a side-splittingly hilarious skit on In Living Color). There are about seven or eight better songs on Rhythm Nation than “LWNDWY”. So yeah this should’ve been a warning sign to all of us that the 90s wasn’t gonna hold a candle to the previous decade. By the way, I think people have forgotten how massive the Rhythm Nation album was. I remember Janet Jackson won so many Grammy Awards for that album she couldn’t carry them all and had to get someone else over to help. Anyway, as much as want to give a little love to “Everything I Do I Do It for You” (which will get a big fat goose egg on this poll, mark my words), I gotta go with Londonbeat.

I saw Bryan Adams play several years back, in a pretty small theatre. He was fine. But when he played “Everything I Do I Do It for You” all these couples starting dancing and it really struck me what a wedding song it became, and who am I to deride even the biggest pile of soggy ballad if it makes so many people happy?

Were any of these hits delivered by listeners under the age of 30? I remember most of these, but I remember few of them being played on purpose by anyway I knew. Maybe they didn't need to because they were ubiquitous?

Anyway, that's the "corporate" vibe at work. These were going to be hits, dammit, no matter how few people wanted them!

I think Chris Molanthy has talked about this as the era of the professional songwriter

I really like the majority of these. Possibly the last time that could be said about a roundup of any given year's #1s.

This has to be Janet, I think. Karyn White, though, man. Why didn't she take off like she should've?

The ones I dislike, though, are pretty awful. Eff a Bryan Adams, for example.

I honestly think it was cool that Extreme went with an Everly Bros pastiche for their hit ballad instead of going the power ballad route.

I also really like the applied dominants under "all you have to do to make it real".

OK I guess this would be the first “The pop charts are not as good as they used to be, mannn” kinda year

Maybe it's age, but that moment happened a good two or three years later for me.

Gonna Make You Sweat

I think maybe '92 was the last year I was actively invested in pop radio as a thing (as opposed to enjoying discrete singles from a broader field of stuff that no longer piqued my interest much).

I honestly think it was cool that Extreme went with an Everly Bros pastiche for their hit ballad instead of going the power ballad route.

otm. i think "more than words" is a v good song tbh

PM Dawn by a country mile. Best of rest: C&C Music Factory, Janet Jackson and Prince (though hardly one of his best).

Never liked Justify My Love, something hollow and contrived about it.

Awful list in general.

also led to Justify My Thug

Like I've said, 1991 was the best year for pop since 1984, not necessarily reflected in these #1s.

I liked 1991 a lot when it happened because I was young. I like 1991 a lot now because I am old.

This should've been #1 instead of "Joyride"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fGLiIvKKys

Hard to believe "Summertime" was never a number 1. Has a lot more staying power than most of these.

or "3 A.M. Eternal."

or jean leloup's '1990'

The #2s of 1991:

Cathy Dennis, "Touch Me (All Night Long)"
Color Me Badd, "I Wanna Sex You Up"
Jesus Jones, "Right Here, Right Now"
Rythm Syndicate, "P.A.S.S.I.O.N."
Amy Grant, "Every Heartbeat"
Lenny Kravitz, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over"
Roxette, "Fading Like a Flower (Everytime You Leave)"
Natural Selection feat. Niki Haris, "Do Anything"
Bryan Adams, "Can't Stop This Thing We Started"
Boyz II Men, "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday"

I'm consistently disappointed that Rythm Syndicate didn't title their song 'P.A.S.I.O.N.'.

Cathy Dennis, "Touch Me (All Night Long)"
Color Me Badd, "I Wanna Sex You Up"
Jesus Jones, "Right Here, Right Now"
Rythm Syndicate, "P.A.S.S.I.O.N."
Amy Grant, "Every Heartbeat"
Lenny Kravitz, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over"
Roxette, "Fading Like a Flower (Everytime You Leave)"
Natural Selection feat. Niki Haris, "Do Anything"
Bryan Adams, "Can't Stop This Thing We Started"
Boyz II Men, "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday"

a marvelous sequence; not one sucks

I see very little wrong with this year in pop music.

I saw Bryan Adams play several years back, in a pretty small theatre. He was fine. But when he played “Everything I Do I Do It for You” all these couples starting dancing and it really struck me what a wedding song it became, and who am I to deride even the biggest pile of soggy ballad if it makes so many people happy?

I fucking hate it with a passion. Did America have to suffer through it being number one for FOUR FUCKING MONTHS?

PM Dawn ftw

xp: I was grounded for one of those 4 months and had little to occupy myself with except sitting in my room listening to the radio. That song was my worst enemy.

xpost Don't get me wrong, I can't stand the song. I just won't begrudge those happy couples dancing to their terrible song. Though tbf it's not even the worst Bryan Adams movie song.

but I always begrudge happy couples

Polarizing reactions. my thoughts:
- There were a lot more songs on the radio then. vs today, I'm pretty sure the iHeart station down the street still has "Thank You Next" in their Top 10 at 10. In 1991 there was a new "Thank You Next" every 4-5 weeks. (By that, I mean a song you could tell would be remembered for decades as an artifact of the era, event-type songs widely associated with personal moments -- these songs obv still exist but I don't think receive excessive airplay as often and are thus not treasured as widely)
- "Bad songs" were shitty but at least fun to laugh at. I've sung "I've Been Thinking About You" at karaoke 3 or 4 times in my life because I think it's bad but also funny enough that it no longer sounds quite as bad.
- Many 12-year-olds in 1991 thought "Everything I Do" was a cool song, which I guess is sort of helping me understand how many 12-year-olds in 2019 don't hear Imagine Dragons as vicious eardrum stabbing
- I'm not old; YOURE old.

Voted for PM Dawn

It's hart to call the Londonbeat "bad" when it's got that amazing high life-drenched guitar part.

I didn't know it was good until like 2004

So no it's not bad at all and I def wanna hear it right now.

I find it hard to believe that anyone who wasn't an old ever thought 'Everything I Do' was cool. Even as a fairly uncritical consumer I knew back then that that song and everything Bolton did was and always would be lame. And turns out I was right.

It was the summer of my junior year and we all -- girls and boys -- thought it a damp Kleenex.

The kids who took "Chorus" class (probably 50 kids) sang "Everything I Do" during my 6th grade school concert.

i remember LOVING "everything i do" at the time. i was ... four

I never realized Bryan Adams had an album between Reckless and Waking Up The Neighbors. I recognize zero of these songs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Fire_(album)

PM Dawn by fucking miles. The MJ and Madonna songs are great too, but come on.

Is there any other year where one chart topper is better than all of the others by such a huge margin?

Also re: "Everything I Do," I was, I think, 8 when that song was a hit, and it was very popular in my peer group. I have no idea why. The movie tie-in? I don't remember Prince of Thieves being that much of a thing in third grade at the time.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is something of a Forgotbuster, or at least it would be if it didn't have that song attached to it. It was definitely pitched as an Event, and was actually the second highest grossing film of the year, behind Terminator 2; we were still in the post-Dances With Wolves but pre-Waterworld era of Costner, after all. I saw it opening night with my mom (something I remember feeling embarrassed about when I ran into a couple of kids I knew from school in the theatre, which attests to the fact that sixth graders, at least, were into it) and liked it okay, though when T2 came out the following month, I'd all but forgotten why I ever cared.

I don't really hate the song, btw. The first minute or so, before it gets carried away into bombast, is sorta pretty, and its certainly less painful than that Bolton cover on this list. I'd gladly have it erased from history, though, if it meant we would have been spared the Bryan Adams/Sting/Rod Stewart monstrosity "All For Love."

I really hated it but, yeah, lots of kids obv liked it. I feel like I remember my high school concert band playing an arrangement of it (as part of some kind of Prince of Thieves medley?) but I'm not sure if the timeline works (was in hs from 92-97, band from 92-95 iirc).

i was 8 in 1990. i remember sleeping outside one night that summer on top of a fort i had built out of logs and scrap wood with my cousin behind the doghouse. we had the radio on and "everything i do" came on and as i lay there looking up at the stars i thought it was the most beautiful thing i had ever heard and told my cousin so much.

as much.

terrible list. voting “gonna make you sweat”

love that post map

I have memories of childhood like that, not exactly the same, but your story reminds me of them

i cant...

i should know every one of these but even remember only

C+C
EMF
londonbeat
marky mark
prince
pm dawn
mj

just looking at the listnames i'm like "how can i not know this roxette? that HAS to be the correct pop answer?!

therefore: pm dawn (even though i am def not very into pm dawn).

i am pretty into the idea of that londonbeat song being actually bad. feels right to me.

xpost Prince of Thieves does have another great droll Alan Rickman villain role, so it's got that going for it. Also the start of Peak Morgan Freeman, and the end of peak Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (as such). Absolutely def. the middle of peak Costner, who I think had just come off Dances with Wolves the year before, which might explain the Robin Hood hype.

I'm pretty into the idea of suggest banning several posters, feels right

'91 is such a weird year for me because it was one (of many) in which my family moved to a new town and also the year I started high school, so the hits from earlier in the year (eg Londonbeat, Amy Grant, Extreme) and from later in the year (eg Bryan Adams, MJ, C+C) feel like sounds from completely separate worlds. To the extent that I don't even have to double check when they charted (my siblings and I regard discrete chunks of '80s-'90s pop history largely in terms of where we happened to be living when the songs in question dropped). Super weird to think that I was enjoying early Celine Dion singles in the same year I first smelled teen spirit, but it is so.

okay so the londonbeat song is definitely not 'bad'. i do remain very puzzled at how it managed to be this unstoppable worldwide juggernaut, tho, especially performed by an act so bereft of personality, identity or quirk. with most one-hit wonders one can at least easily understand what it is about the artist that managed to take their one hit to the stratosphere -- not so with londonbeat. (somehow i might prefer the 12" mix to the original.)

so basically this was the result of fake democracy! but i like it better this way. i like turnover. i like clutter. maybe democracy sucks after all. wonder if actual pop listeners/voters would have elevated my beloved "promise of a new day" to #1. on the other hand, if the first #1 actual listeners elected was "set adrift," that's a good result too. maybe democracy works. i'm torn.

the funny thing is that billboard published the modernized sales and airplay charts for many months prior to infusing them into the hot 100, so by perusing those old issues you can actually get a sense of how all the hot 100's supposed big hits were 'actually' performing. sorry to say that "promise of a new day" almost certainly would not have gone #1 had the modernized methodology already been implemented. if i were to bet, i'd actually guess that none of the following would have reached the top had the new tabulation methods been in place:

"Coming Out of the Dark," Gloria Estefan
"You're in Love," Wilson Phillips
"The Promise of a New Day," Paula Abdul
"Joyride," Roxette
"I Don't Wanna Cry," Mariah Carey
"Romantic," Karyn White
"I've Been Thinking About You," Londonbeat
"Cream," Prince and the New Power Generation
"All the Man That I Need," Whitney Houston
"When a Man Loves a Woman," Michael Bolton

(i put them in order of least likely to hit #1 at top + likeliest to maybe sneak in there at the bottom -- tho the test chart positions visible on the first nü-hot 100 chart strongly suggest that neither prince nor bolton would have made it had the implementation been earlier, both to have been blocked by "set adrift")

that's not to say that these songs weren't real hits: almost all of them got strong-tho-not-outstanding airplay. but most of them were pulling sales in the modest-to-pretty-decent range, which was not gonna unseat an actual smash like bryan adams's, which was the simultaneous number one seller and airplay hit for many more weeks than indicated by its hot 100 run. (the gloria estefan one is the one exception -- in addition to being a weak seller, it didn't even reach the top 10 in 'real' monitored airplay.)

the funny thing is that billboard published the modernized sales and airplay charts for many months prior to infusing them into the hot 100, so by perusing those old issues you can actually get a sense of how all the hot 100's supposed big hits were 'actually' performing. sorry to say that "promise of a new day" almost certainly would not have gone #1 had the modernized methodology already been implemented. if i were to bet, i

To your point, for I cited this article not long ago: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/67227/chart-beat-chat

My mom used to get annoyed cos I would insist the lyrics were

U must be Flintstone crazy

I quibble about "Coming Out of the Dark," #1 in airplay and #3 and climbing in sales. If not that week, or if not #1 for two weeks, then it would've hit #1.

"love will never do" > "black cat" > "miss you much"

those "coming out of the dark" airplay/sales rankings you cite are from the old survey-based methodology, which were also still getting published at that time (until the june 8, 1991 issue). on the monitored airplay chart, which was getting published concurrently, it never got past #12. once the soundscan-based sales chart came out in the june 8th issue, it was basically already off the chart (briefly appeared at #74 afaict), with many older hits still lingering above. unlike most of the other #1s from this year, it also never ultimately received an riaa certification, so again despite its #3 survey-based sales ranking my guess would be that it didn't actually sell well.

Can't believe y'all are questioning the greatness of "I've Been Thinking About You" . The fact that such a faceless group made it such a big hit only speaks to the song's virtues

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Eleven songs I can't recall for the life of me.

Whereas I could deliver an impromptu karaoke performance of at least the chorus of every song here. Brainspace well-utilized.

nostalgia is powerful

Biggest takeaway from this poll is just how many more hit songs there were than today.

Huh. I went back and listened to the 11 that did not ring a bell, and all but two or three of them, maybe, still did not ring a bell. However, most of the ones I didn't know were schmaltzy ballads, which was my least favorite style of '90s pop, so maybe I heard them and they went in one ear and out the other. An exception was Romantic by Karyn White, which I'm pretty sure I'd never heard but obviously rang a bell because of Jam and Lewis.

I was 16 or so in 1991. I think this was one of my all time least favorite years for radio pop.

Story checks out, I was 15 the year there wasn't much interest in my corner for pop, and that was 1994.

Also, these are all very good-to-great pop singles fuiud...

"Justify My Love," Madonna
"Love Will Never Do (Without You)," Janet Jackson
"Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," C+C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams
"Someday," Mariah Carey
"One More Try," Timmy T
"I've Been Thinking About You," Londonbeat
"Baby Baby," Amy Grant
"Joyride," Roxette
"I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)," Hi-Five
"Rush Rush," Paula Abdul
"I Adore Mi Amor," Color Me Badd
"Good Vibrations," Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch featuring Loleatta Holloway
"Romantic," Karyn White
"Cream," Prince and the New Power Generation
"Set Adrift on Memory Bliss," P.M. Dawn
"Black or White," Michael Jackson

good list

Yep, but it needs some “Emotions” too.

I love all three of the Mariah Carey entries here

I managed to vote for "More Than Words" but I was sure I had already voted for C&C Music Factory. Did we have two polls like this?

Don't get me wrong, lots of stuff I love on the list. I'm just surprised there was so much I didn't recognize. Lots of second or third singles, it seems like, so maybe I had just tuned out some acts I didn't particularly like after the first single. I know for sure that even though I was still captive to what was on MTV and the radio, at least as far as free music goes, I had definitely started snobbing it up by now.

Interesting. I ran my list of songs I didn't recognize by my wife, who is 1 1/2 years younger than me, and she knew them all *except* the Karyn White song. Which again, is so in the Jam & Lewis mold that it sounds familiar even if you don't know it, so maybe she did know it.

I was curious, so I glanced back at 1990 and 1992, and I know almost all of those songs, or at least there are fewer I don't know by title. But also interesting is that in 1992 there are pretty much half as many hits as there were in 1990 and 1991, like 12 songs to the other years' 24+. I wonder which year had the most number ones and which year had the least?

Love Will Never Do
Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
More Than Words
< -----(It's So Hard to Say Goodbye)
I Don't Wanna Cry
Baby, Baby
Someday
Joyride

Oh I forgot I Like the Way, which is right below I Don't Wanna Cry

Fun fact re Londonbeat: they were hired to do backing vocals for the track United Colours on Microdisney's final album, and they indignantly stopped the recording session halfway through because they found Cathal Coughlan's lyrics highly offensive.

great results

Whatta year!

Just skimming, but compared to your last few of these I could do without most of these songs.

Man, every time I see lists of songs from the Interzone it wigs me out. From the end of 7th grade (summer of '90) to the beginning of my freshman year (fall of '91), we lived in four different cities, so it's like I'm seeing a mish mash of music from totally different eras. It doesn't help that I kicked off '91 bopping around to Amy Grant and wrapped it up moping out to Soundgarden. On the plus side, I can usually pinpoint pretty much exactly when a song was big based on where I was when it made the rounds.

I will say, despite not listening to the radio a bit the bulk of 1991, I know all of these songs but 11.

Looks like '91 was maybe the first year in which many of the number ones were sample-based. I would assume that has been the norm ever since.

sounds like a Saturday to me

OTM

On the other hand, I just saw Alfred's ranking of *favorite* 1991 songs, and that list is much more appealing.

I'd mostly stopped listening to top-40 radio by 1991, so most of these songs I didn't pick up on until years later when I heard them on adult-contemporary stations. As such, they weirdly feel like they're from the 2000s to me rather than 1991.
