This is an official list from Billboard, so I don't think I should deviate from it. Besides, there are already over 100 songs; I can't really add more. If we do a '90s airplay rankdown at some point, I'm up for that. The thing is, though, the '90s airplay rankdown will probably have too much overlap with this list. Otherwise it'd be a great idea. If I'm mistaken and there isn't a lot of overlap then let's do it. I had in mind either that or a selection of airplay hits that were ineligible to chart on the Hot 100.

Poor Torn, Don't Speak and Iris. The first two would probably be in my top 10. No Alanis either! The CHR decade-end list would be so different lol. I've been falling behind on rankdowns, but I definitely want to do this one! Poor "One Headlight" too. It peaked at #2 and spent 70 weeks on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and never charted on the Hot 100.

And Matchbox 20's 3 AM, which spent 9 weeks at #3 on CHR behind Truly Madly Deeply and My Heart Will Go On. And Lovefool. And Killing Me Softly. And How Bizarre. And Sugar Ray's Fly.

wow, it wasn't until I really starting diving into this rankdown that I noticed how badly the alternative songs got the shaft. Still a ton of great songs but some glaring misses.

I'd love to do this, but those double A-sided singles are what kills this for me.

Just submitted! I had to pay R Kelly dust again, even though I kinda liked I Believe I Can Fly at the time. But sorry...he's a perv...lol
Edit: Some ideas for honorable mentions - the huge hits that aren't represented from the mid 90s due to wonky chart rules. There are many, but a few spring to mind. No Doubt's Don't Speak, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Under the Bridge, and Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit (although I do believe that one charted). There are several giant hits that weren't available commercially, as us old-heads remember, because radio-only songs didn't chart on the Hot 100.

Halfway done with listening to what I don't know and I'm re-considering this. Only one real contender for my top 5 at this point...

There are several giant hits that weren't available commercially, as us old-heads remember, because radio-only songs didn't chart on the Hot 100. Also worth mentioning are the big hits of 1990 and 1991 that didn't make the cut. The official decade-end chart isn't weighted, meaning it doesn't account for the methodology change at the end of 1991, which is why the first two years of the decade are underrepresented. Hell, the #1 song of 1990, "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips, is absent. Halfway done with listening to what I don't know and I'm re-considering this. Only one real contender for my top 5 at this point... You'll get through it. Don't worry. :)

Just sent mine in. This was a hard one to do as well as there were so many that I liked. I just had to put some of them somewhere.

Sorry, I'm out of this. The list is too f**king boring for me. But here's what would have been my top 3:
1. Mo Money Mo Problems 2. Wannabe 3. Smooth

And sent. Idk how I will do in this Rankdown, but we will see.
My bottom 3 all will 100 percent have people rank it at 1, so they probably will not be out any time soon, and could even make it to the top 10 maybe. Oh well.

This is going to be torturous compared to the 2000s rankdown. A lot more good/great songs, and a couple of stone cold classics. Proved to be as difficult as I expected...though this would have been even tougher if it this was a radio-based decade-end list. Much like my 1999 ranking, I expect to get some sideways glances here for where some songs ranked. :kii:

Poor " One Headlight" too. It peaked at #2 and spent 70 weeks on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and never charted on the Hot 100. And Matchbox 20's 3 AM, which spent 9 weeks at #3 on CHR behind Truly Madly Deeply and My Heart Will Go On. And Lovefool. And Killing Me Softly. And How Bizarre. And Sugar Ray's Fly. and these songs too...and no where's No Doubt? Dave Matthews? Alanis? Sarah McLachlan? Natalie Merchant? Oasis?...geez, this list clearly does NOT represent the 90s properly

which is why we should use a different list...not saying we can't go thru w/ this one, but we should also do another best of the 90s rankdown using airplay charts or whatever does not prevent these HUGE hits from being on the list
