32 Trick Daddy - In Da Wind

The only future #1 on this chart was 3 Doors Down's "When I'm Gone" (as you probably could have guessed by its 15-8 jump in its 2nd week on the chart). This and "All My Life" would hold down the #1 spot for the rest of the 2002 chart year, until Coldplay's "Clocks" took over in mid-December.

Holy mackerel, I almost forgot about this feature. The last time I posted a PCF was way back in September of last year, when I posted 1994. And I dropped a few hints as to what the next Flashback year would be. I contemplated making up for it by posting a year's worth of Personal Chart Flashbacks (which I still have plans to do with CHR Flashback), but then decided to just pick up where I left off. And at long last, here is that year I planned to do the last year of the 1990s, Prince's favorite year, 1999. This is my personal Top 30 chart from the first week in October, 1999:

Quincy Jones composition featuring El DeBarge and Siedah Garrett spent a fifth week on top. It would spend an additional week on top before Jordan Knight took over with his remake of Prince's 1987 hit "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man". Nowadays, the best that song would ever do would be just cracking the Top Ten. 1999 was a very weak year in music, even more so than 2002. (I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how well "No Scrubs" by TLC did). Truth be told, 1999 was not a very good year. First of all, a girl that I had gotten re-acquainted with at a college graduation party - I was hoping to maybe start a relationship with her, but she was moving away at the end of the summer and we only got to get together twice, since she had to work all the time. Plus, around the start of September, bad memories from my childhood came back to haunt me. The strange thing is - I don't even know what the memories were, but I felt a vague sense of disturbance; that's probably why they plagued me for so long. Another thing; I got a new job around this time five years ago and I wasn't used to working full-time and I was always tired. In retrospect, I wish I had started going to church back in 1999. It might have helped me out, like it has in the past three years when life throws me a raw deal.
But let's not dwell on the negative aspects of 1999. It had a lot of good music, too. "One For Sorrow" by Steps, which sounds suspiciously like "Winner Takes It All" by Abba, was entering the Top Ten this week in 1999. It made it all the way up to number two, where it spent the entire month of November, but couldn't seem to dislodge Jordan Knight's stronghold on the top.
When I first heard "She's All I've Ever Had" by Ricky Martin on August 8, 1999, I thought to myself, "That's it; that's going to be the next number one song!" That was not to be, however. Like many songs around this time period, I got tired of that song very quickly and it only got as high as number seven.
Another I-can't-believe-that-made-my-chart song was the biggest move of the week, "(You Drive Me) Crazy" by Britney Spears. Fortunately, I came to my senses about a month later and the song ran out of gas at number 8.
Also, "Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas. The song made a good sized move this week (this was before I knew how grossly overplayed the song would be!), but it did not get much higher; peaked at number eighteen the following week.
Well, next month, I'll be back with another Flashback. The
