Dude, where's "Love Takes Time" by Mariah Carey?? That was way bigger than "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice (and was the top song of 1990 in Fred Bronson's "Hottest Hot 100 Hits" and the Chart Masters Top 100 of 1990")
But #2 in both publications was "Because I Love You" by Stevie B, so I'll go with that one.

Well, I had no idea "Love Takes Time" was that big (# 1 for the year in those publications), but I'll stand by my choice because... "Love Takes Time" wasn't even Mariah's biggest hit of the year (I think "Vision Of Love" was bigger), and I'll also say "Ice Ice Baby" is more well known than "Love Takes Time"... even if it's in an infamous kind of way.

That song is wonderful.

Week-wise, yes VOL was bigger (3 weeks @ #1 on R&R), but "Love Takes Time" spent two more weeks on the chart and gained more points.
But that's OK, I've voted for Stevie B.
