82 Off-Shore - I Can't Take The Power

Off-Shore were a German Dance project lead by Jens Lissat, who was one of the key dance producers in germany at that time and also formed the well-known dance project "Interactive", who had hits with "Who Is Elvis", "Dildo" and "Forever Young". "I Can't take The Power" is a nice little euro-piano-house banger, which reached #7 in early 1991.

81 Oleta Adams - Get Here

Oleta Adams grew up in Yakima and spent her formal years in the church singing in the choir as well as playing the piano and directing prior to her teenage years. After rejecting a scholarship to study opera at a Lutheran university, she decided to shoot her shot into the music industry, however, she was turned down by music executive's who favored disco music at the time. Undeterred, she moved to Kansas City and after a stint of hotel residency, she would be discovered by Tears For Fears who recruited her for their 1989 album, Tears For Fears - The Seeds Of Love. The single, Tears For Fears - Woman In Chains features Adams on vocal duties and became a Top 40 Hit across ten territories including the U.K. and America. (Discogs)

"Get here" was her only big hit and one of the best soul songs of the 1990's for me.

I like the Offshore track and the Oleta song is serious but still nice.

80 Soho - Hippychick

"Hippiechick" is a great downtempo house track released by the british group Soho. It was a one hit wonder peaking at #8 in early 1991. The incoming of the song was inspired by The Smiths song "How Soon Is Now". For me this is a timeless classic.

79 Drizabone - Real Love

Drizabone is a British soul and R&B group formed in the early 1990s in London by producer Andrew Dean. The group became known for their smooth blend of soul, jazz, hip-hop, and pop influences, often featuring powerful female vocals. "Real Love" is their masterpiece, such a great chilled house tune. It peaked at #16 in summer 1991.

78 Erasure - Love To Hate You

This groups needs no introduction. One of the best synth-pop groups of all time and "Love To Hate You" is among their best songs.

77 Robert Palmer - Mercy Mercy Me / I Want You

Robert Palmer (1949–2003) was an English singer, songwriter, and musician known for his smooth voice, sharp style, and ability to move effortlessly between rock, pop, soul, funk, and reggae. He began his career in the late 1960s with the band Vinegar Joe before launching a successful solo career in the 1970s and beyond. "Mercy Mercy Me" is a brilliant chilled pop song - one of his best songs for me. It reached #9 in early 1991.

76 Ralph Tresvant - Sensitivity

Ralph Tresvant (born May 16, 1968) is an American singer, songwriter, and producer, best known as the lead vocalist of the influential R&B group New Edition. Raised in Boston, Tresvant’s smooth, high tenor voice became a defining element of the group’s sound, helping drive hits such as “Candy Girl,” “Cool It Now,” and “Mr. Telephone Man.”

In 1990, he launched a successful solo career with his self-titled debut album, featuring the Grammy-winning hit “Sensitivity.” For me "Sensitivity" is a brilliant masterpiece of early 90s R&B much better than anything he did with New Edition. It reached # 18 in early 1991.

We are now through 25% of the choons and thankfully 100 - 76 are all available on Spotify, so here is the playlist:

75 2 In A Room - Wiggle It

2 In A House are a hip-house act consisting of rapper Rafael "Dose" Vargas and producer Roger "Rog Nice" Pauletta. "Wiggle It" was by far their biggest success reaching #3 in early 1991. They had some further great club hits such as "She's Got Me Goin' Crazy" and "El Trago". Absolute dance classic.

74 The Bee Gees - Secret Love

One of my favourite groups of all time - the Bee Gees have such a great catalogue spanned over 4 decades. They always delivered catchy songs and "Secret Love" is no exception from it. "Secret Love" peaked at #5 in spring 1991.

73 Kylie Minogue - Shocked

"Shocked" was the 4th and last single released from "Rhythm Of Love". It was quite succesful peaking at #6 in summer 1991.

I think the Outhere Brothers copied 2 in a Room!

'Secret Love' and its key changes is good.
