There were many rap songs that descended slowly for some reason. In 1991, Salt-N-Pepa broke a record for spending the longest time in the top 40 without making the top 20. "Do You Want Me" spent 14 weeks in the top 40 and peaked at #21. It was also the only song in the top 100 of 1991 to not make the top 10, let alone the top 20. No sure if the record still stands today. Probably not.
This is the last one for the 80s just the year end and that’s a wrap! “Another day in paradise” keeps the #1 spot into 1990 so it’s on both 80s and 90s countdowns. It was on a decade countdown at the end of 1999 and it seemed so old at that point.
There is a December 30, 1989, chart, a 1989 year-end chart, and a top 40 or 100 of the 1980s-decade chart. Thank you @Chris Hattings for your labor of love!
@@stephentaylor6617 The next chart was January 6th, 1990. New Years weekend didn't have a chart back then. I believe it was 1992 when they stopped doing that.
This is a good reminder that I did not really enjoy Top 40 music towards the end of the 80's as i did at beginning and middle of.. by this point I was off at the alternative charts and radio. There are maybe 5 songs in this list I'd actually sit and listen to now.. it was all a nice reminder of what was once was.
For me it’s the late 90s I can’t stand listening to. Maybe a few (mostly rock) songs but it’s because this was the time when the music industry shifted heavily towards marketing music to kids/teens and women. It’s been like that ever since then. The early/mid 90s was practically the post-80s era of music which I didn’t mind too much.
Aerosmith and Rod Stewart tie for biggest jumping songs in the survey(honorable mentions for Seduction, Skid Row and Joe Cocker)!! Nice debuts from Chicago, Eddie Money and Babyface!! 18 weeks and counting for Young MC!! Is a 20 week run in the cards?
Bust a Move still kicking in the top 40!
A SNES ball-shootin' game would go on to share its title with that song.

So are we continuing into the ‘90’s?
Nice, love Aerosmith, Bad English, Bon Jovi, Don Henley, Richard Marx, Whitesnake and Phil Collins.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please do the 70s. You do great work!
He already started doing them. 🥰

@@rangermonkey9370 I still enjoyed music on the alternative charts into the mid 90's but top 40 for me was garbage.

Only 17 of these songs appeared on the Australian Top 40 singles chart.
