Top 100 Billboard Year-End Singles | 1989 

Same here

Example. You see how loooong they stretched out Appetite for Destruction singles. Guns n Roses can never say pop Radio ignored them😂

Strangely I agree that it was the year that a lot of positive things happened in my life and worldwide. It was pretty much the end of the cold war with the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. However, music wise I think 1987 was the best year for constant hits despite the number 1 song of that year being a novelty song.

That was Bobby Brown's year Hot 100 wise tho......

@@randychampion184 lots of great songs that year!

Same here! It's probably (IMO) the perfect pop song.

@@iamnostalgic9567 I understand you and Lee. That song was my niece's favourite. She ceased to walk amongst us in 2019 at the age of just 34. I now see the song in a new light.

@@Agnethatheredhairkid My condolences friend. ❤

A "star" falling is kind of a ominous thing. Waiting for one to fall, is interesting just saying 😂

They are still releasing music . They released an small album (5 songs) in 2021 and one of the songs 'Everything New' was pretty good.

Hell yes.

You guys in the UK had many doses of Kylie and Jason in that year!! I'll take them over Chicago's "Look Away" anytime. Still mesmerize me how it became the top song of '89 with so many and better contenders on this list!

1000% correct. I was there. It grieves the living heck out of me. I would say there were at 10 tracks which EASILY could've should've been #1 instead. of Look Away. It's not even one of CHICAGOs best.

Remember HEAT WAVES WAS #1 for 2022 LOOK AWAY IS NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO ACTUAL GARBAGE

Look Away is way better than a lot of the year end #1’s Look Away is better than Hold On, Everything I Do, The Sign, Believe, Breathe, We Belong Together, Bad Day, Irreplaceable, Rolling in the deep, Levitating & Heat Waves

@@marshp1999 ok with the exception of one or two of those examples. I would say,, you LIE.

@@marcofalzone6469 tell me the “examples” then?

Chicago has more hits.....it may not be your universe,but it's reality.

Although this may just be the creators opinion,in which case, go ahead and make your own page and list...

@@sethralavode9146 I have and Look Away isn't THERE.

This is the actual Billboard year end countdown, it says so right in the description

No, I remember this year very clearly. Look Away was the Billboard #1 song of 1989 even though it wasn't released nor peaked in 1989. It peaked December 1988. In matter of fact, so did the #3 song by Poison peak in 1988. The #2 song by Bobby Brown was also released in 1988, but peaked in January 1989. The best performing songs on the all time list that were from 1989 were actually "Miss You Much" and "Another Day In Paradise" both of which outperformed "Look Away", but had a large portion of their chart runs in 1990.

So, 1989 had a bad moment. Every year has one.

@@iamnostalgic9567 i mean it also has Mili Vanilli but we also have the rise of hip-hop in the mainstream so yeah

@@aobasuzukaze1032 😆 Agreed.

It's not even one of CHICAGOs best !! I smell payola or something.
