I was born in 1983, there are my highlights.
Renee and Renato - Just One More Kiss Almost as good as their debut big hit "Save Your Love". Sweet Dreams - I'm Never Giving Up British Eurovision entry and my favourite single from this year. Kirsty MacColl - Terry Maybe it's my favourite her song. + Brotherhood Of Man - When The Kissing Stops + Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly - Moonlight Shadow + ABBA - Thank You For The Music This post has been edited by Last Dreamer: 7th February 2021, 08:24 PM |

Interesting question! I don’t know what was from 1979 aside from Blondie’s ‘Sunday Girl’ as I know that was my birth #1. I’ll do some digging to find out more...

That was a great year for chart toppers in general with the likes of 'Heart of Glass', 'Another Brick In The Wall' and 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' as well *.* |

These songs from 1992 are on my iTunes (some others may be there too that aren't tagged)
Yothu Yindi - Treaty Smart E's - Sesame's Treet SL2 - On a Ragga Tip Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness House of Pain - Jump Around The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode U2 - One CeCe Peniston - Finally Radiohead - Creep Primal Scream - Movin' On Up Some great songs here, though it wasn't the best 90s year, in least in comparison to some others (I do have a soft spot for some of the songs just because though, like my birthday number 1, I Will Always Love You) |

I did a Top 10 list of my favourite songs from the UK CIN 1999 Year End (according to UKMix and the Chartwatch Annual Charts Booklet of 1999). Here is the link, for those who are curious: https://dalekturret32.blogspot.com/2020/11/...gs-of-1999.html
As for my faves of the Top 40 hits that didn't make it to the year end (at least the Top 100): 2Pac - Dear Mama 3 Colours Red - Beautiful Day Aphex Twin - Windowlicker Apollo Four Forty - Stop The Rock Armand Van Helden feat. Roland Clark - Flowerz Basement Jaxx - Rendez-Vu Basement Jaxx - Jump 'N' Shout Beastie Boys - Remote Control Beverley Knight - Greatest Day Big Time Charlie - On The Run Bjork - All Is Full Of Love Blur - Coffee + TV Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More Cassius - Cassius 1999 Cassius - Feeling For You The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be The Chemical Brothers - Out Of Control CJ Bolland - It Ain't Gonna Be Me Cypress Hill - Dr. Greenthumb Destiny's Child - Bug A Boo Dina Carroll - Without Love Doolally - Straight From The Heart Duran Duran - Electric Barbarella Embrace - Hooligan Eminem feat. Dr Dre - Guilty Conscience Everlast - What It's Like E-Z Rollers - Walk This Land Faithless - Bring My Family Back The Flaming Lips - Race For The Prize Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly Freddy Fresh - Badder Badder Schwing Gabrielle - Sunshine [particularly the Wookie remix] Garbage - When I Grow Up Ginuwine - What's So Different Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Groove Armada - If Everybody Looked The Same Groove Armada - At The River Groove Armada feat. Gram'ma Funk - I See You Baby Hole - Malibu James Brown- Funk On Ah Roll Jamiroquai - Canned Heat Jamiroquai - Supersonic Jamiroquai - King For A Day The Jungle Brothers - V.I.P. Korn - Freak On A Leash Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor Leftfield and Bambaataa - Afrika Shox Leftfield and Roots Manuva - Dusted Liquid Child - Diving Faces Lolly - Viva La Radio M3 - Bailamos Mariah Carey feat. Jay-Z - Heartbreaker Melanie C - Goin' Down Mercury Rev - Goddess On A Hiway Michael Moog - That Sound Moby - Run On Moby - Bodyrock Moby - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright Paul Johnson - Get Get Down Pete Heller - Big Love Phats & Small - Feel Good Phats & Small - Tonite PJ Harvey - The Wind Placebo - Every You Every Me Planet Perfecto - Bullet In The Gun Powerhouse feat.

Ian Brown - Be There There's also A Little Bit Of Luck and Don't Call Me Baby, but those two would later make it to the 2000 Year End. Plus "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind. That would be my favourite of the Hot 100 year-end hits that didn't crossover to the UK. And for the ones that charted on either UK Singles Chart or Billboard Hot 100 that didn't get big: Blackalicious - Deception Cake - Never There Carl Cox - Dr. Funk Cherry - Boogie On Da Floor Cool Mob feat. Outkast and Goodie Mob - Watch For The Breeze Danny Tenaglia - Music Is The Answer Eminem feat. Royce da 5'9" - Bad Meets Evil Everclear - Father Of Mine Golden Girls - Kinetic '99 Hellfire Club - Nightbreed The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Talk About The Blues Laurent Garnier - The Sound Of The Big Babou Muse - Uno Muse - Cave Nightmares On Wax - Finer Outkast - Rosa Parks Scritti Politti - Tinseltown To The Boogietown Smokin’ Beats - Dr. Love Wiseguys - Start The Commotion X-Cabs - Neuro 99 A few songs by Better Than Ezra and Collective Soul that charted for a short amount of time Further shoutouts go to: The Chemical Brothers - Got Glint The Chemical Brothers - The Sunshine Underground Dr. Dre feat. Knoc-turn'al and Hittman- Bang Bang Dr. Dre - The Watcher Dr. Dre feat. Eminem and Xzibit - What's The Difference The Flaming Lips - What Is The Light?

1987 was an incredible year, the best of the 80s by far
especially towards the end of the year with China in Your Hand, The PSB covering Always on my Mind and Fairytale of New York |

QUOTE(jakewild @ Feb 10 2021, 02:43 AM) vision of love <3 Same! I'm not a massive fan of the music from 1990 but the holy trinity of that year has to be "Vision Of Love", "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "Vogue". |

1990 wasn't great was it.
Roxette - It Must Have Been Love, could that be classed as 90? Kylie Minogue - Better The Devil You Know Wilson Phillips - Hold On Roxette - Listen To Your Heart / Dangerous Belinda Carlisle - (We Want) The Same Thing |
