I couldn't have picked a soggier lot. Ugh. Herb Alpert's got the best entry.
1. Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - "Head to toe" 2. Atlantic Star - "Always" 3. Whitney Houston - "I Wanna Dance (With Somebody Who Loves Me)" 4. Genesis - "In Too Deep" 5. Herb Alpert - "Diamonds" 6. Heart - "Alone" 7. Bon Jovi - "Wanted Dead or Alive" 8. Kim Wilde - "You Keep Me Hangin' On" 9. Kenny G - "Songbird" 10. Smokey Robinson - "Just To See Her"

What's wrong with "Head to Toe," "Alone," "Wanted Dead or Alive" or "You Keep Me Hangin' On"?

I'll accept Kim Wilde if you take Smokey and Genesis.

5 and 9 I don't remember the tunes of at all, thankfully.

I could hum you Kenny G's Melody of Death, Ned.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 21:54 (eighteen years ago)
I don't remember the Herb Alpert song either.
(As far as that Kenny G song is concerned, have you not been to a dentist's office in the last twenty years, Ned?)

a Jam-Lewis written/produced number feat. Janet Jackson! It's great!

"I Wanna Dance With Somebody" is great.

It's sad that I prefer David Byrne's cover.

I seem to be blessed with vaguely hipper dentists.

I assume your elevators play Stereolab too.

I've listened to 5 of these 10 songs within the last week.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 22:44 (eighteen years ago)
By choice.
It was 20 years ago today That Lisa Lisa taught Cult Jam to play

That's the one Whitney song I actually kind of like.

Without "Alone," where would Carrie Underwood be?

Has Billboard always had the archives on their website? I'm seeing the archival "search by date" feature at the top of the chart pages now.

Not always.

Surprised to realize that I might be inching up on twenty years of not paying much attention to the contemporaneous Billboard Hot 100. I'm more of an old than I thought.
― Those Jorts Are Upsetting (Old Lunch), Monday, 10 August 2015 12:12 (ten years ago)
the full hot 100 archives only went up like a year ago. before then if you tried looking at old charts you could only see the top 10.
a lot of their archives rn are still incomplete (charts are missing prior to ~1985 except for the hot 100 and adult contemporary) but it's still nice to look around.

That would be the chart for the week of Kendrick Lamar's birth, fwiw.
