I was just about to start 8th grade when this list dropped. Matter of fact, I think the day this list dropped, I was getting ready to go see Richard Marx in concert with my sister for her 33rd birthday. It was a really good time in my life!
Summer of 1992 ended so good music was great and super as I was going into the 9th grade and playing JV football and wondering about girls and becoming a man! Those were the good old carefree days!
I had either just spent the summer in San Diego going to A School or was in Connecticut starting Sub School while I was in the Navy when this list came out.
Ah '92....a fantastic year for music. forgot how many great tracks were released that year, many of which benefitted from Billboard's move to using Nielsen and BDS data the previous December.
This is a perfect music chart to remember for today. This coming as August 29th 1992, and August 29th 2020 both fall on Saturdays in a leap year. A perfect time to bring back 1992 memories. I hope you will do more 28-year anniversary charts in the near future.
Because Boyz II Men was there. Although I think it’s an awesome achievement for an eight-minute rock ballad to reach #3, that shows how the old times were so much better
The year in my opinion where "the music of the 90s" started to dominate the airwaves alongside some "80s last hurrah or leftovers" - in which those artists didn't chart as high as before. (1990 being essentially 1989 part 2 & 1991 still having an 80s feel yet musically in transition). Also this was the year billboard went "digital" with soundscan on the singles charts; and with it all those long weeks and month's no.1 hits. Some good songs here. Just ok overall - again my opinion.
@@Atl-jv1kw .... Great point there and totally agree with you!! Definently a music era in its own right!! The time period you mentioned, changes in the music scene were happening already. The synthetizers and arena rock of the first half of the 80 were "replaced" by more guitar sounds, glam metal in the rock scene; rap/hip hop and alternative - college rock were starting to become mainstream as well as many sounds in the club music scene (freestyle, house, new jack swing, eurodance, etc.).

Take a stab at these lyrics, unknown artists, c.1992 or earlier - pop song, man, w/ girl chorus -"Big Money, Big Money, Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah' ( not the dead, fat rapper) ....pop song, man: 'You will reveal what was always there.....In your heart and soul. lives the spirit that can never die'.......pop, man 'just another ordinary guy.....paradise, paradise'
I love watching these top 100s videos, but man 1992 was an awful year for music.. Definitely love a lot of the 80s tho and I'm binge watching these videos tonight so I'm sure I'll find more stuff I love. Thanks for posting these videos!
