(The rules are changed for this last one since there are alot of different #1's from 1990, so i'm allowing 3 votes 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 1990  8)


(Wow, no offense to people who enjoyed 1990 for music, but UGH!, such a horrible year for music)

Something funny I noticed,  15 Years Ago on this very day (November 10th), Mariah Carey had a #1 Song on the Top 40 Charts.  I think she also currently has the #1 song in america right now, 15 years later.  Amazing

Close to You, It Must Have Been Love and The Postman Song

I see Tommy Page is in the poll.  I forgot about him.  He went from "I'll Be Your Everything" to "I'll Be Your Waiter This Evening"  ;D

Cradle Of Love - Billy Idol

Better than 1999  8)... though with a couple clunkers, though more favorites than this year alone  :P

Paula Abdul "Opposites Attract", Bel Biv DeVoe "Poison", and Billy Idol "Cradle Of Love"

Maybe it's just nostalgia for a personal great year, but I quite like the no1's on here (not all though)... Janet Jackson really did it for me that year!

Even NKOTB's Step By Step was fantastic (the only NKOTB song I like).

This was very hard!!!!!! I love most of these songs. I was 14 at the time and I was a fanatic about mixed tapes.

But, I voted for:

It Must Have Been Love
Cradle of Love (C'mon what chick didn't do the bed dance? okay, maybe I was a dork then  :D )
Nothing Compares to You

1990's was little taste but 1997-1999 was made the music in 1990's

My picks:

Roam (carry-over from '89)
Black Velvet
Cradle Of Love

Thought I'd tackle this one before I move on to the 1993 thread...

I was only 10 in 1990 so I didn't know a great deal of music at the time. I know quite a few songs from that year now. A few not on this list but hit #1 on the R&B or Modern Rock charts that I like:
"All Around The World" Lisa Stansfield :) 8)
"Enjoy The Silence" Depeche Mode
"Policy Of Truth" Depeche Mode

1990's was little taste but 1997-1999 was made the music in 1990's


oh no, I disagree. Those years were the beginning of the end.  ;D
