(The new permanent rules are that you can now vote for only "2" songs at the most)

Also, i've added the exact Date that each song hit #1 for the very first time on the Top 40 Charts

This is a Poll, and on every one is going to be a list of all the songs that Reached #1 on the Top 40 Charts in America that year

Remember, this is the American charts, just so you guys aren't confused

Anyway, pick your favorite #1 Hit song from 1995  8)

I'll Be There For You.  The only #1 hit from 1995 I really liked

This Is How We Do It and I Know

"This Is How We Do It" Montell Jordan  8)

Also Coolio "Gangsta's Paradise"

TLC and the rest I'm not into...

I Know and Waterfalls.

"Creep" and "Runaway"

But surely there were more number ones besides these, no?

Here Comes the Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze appears to be missing from this list.  It was #1 on Billboard January 14 and 21 in 1995

I just noticed these ones that are in the poll:
I Know by Dionne Farris only reached #4
Water Runs Dry by Boys II Men only reached #2
Red Light Special by TLC also only reached #2
I'll Be There For You by the Rembrants only reached #17

I'm getting my #1's from this site http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/index.htm

The ARC's Top 40 (Which goes by total airplay, which I think is the best list anyway).  It's the only chart archive I could even find.  I have not been able to find a detailed archive from Billboard, so I don't use that one

Plus, I feel that the Billboard Charts are weaker, they usually will only have a total of maybe 5 or 6 different songs that reached #1 each year because most of their #1 songs are #1 for like a total of 9 straight weeks, while the ARC Top 40 is alot better as it has alot more different songs at #1 based on the Airplay it recieves on the radio, so you have a larger choice of songs using the ARC Top 40

the friends theme was no;1 all year and I remember I know

'Kiss from a Rose' is one of the best #1 songs EVER.

"Kiss From A Rose"  -  Seal  (August 12th)

and

"Gangsta's Paradise"  -  Coolio  (September 23rd)

'Kiss from a Rose' is one of the best #1 songs EVER.


Agreed, the song was played everywhere, but it was great  :)

This was the year I turned 21 and I definately remember hearing Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise and Montel Jordan's This is How We Do It a lot at our college bar.  Anytime I would want to get in the mood to go out I would listen to Gangsta's Paradise!!!

Boy this year sure brings back a lot of memories for me!

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman  -  Bryan Adams

I liked a great deal of these songs ten years ago. Now, I think my picks will be (in no particular order):
Creep
I'll Be There For You... and
Runaway

"I Know" and "Kiss From A Rose".
