I'm sorry but there was no song that spent 12 weeks at #1 and was absent from this list. The one song that spent 12 weeks was Smooth.  

 

Yep, I mistyped ... 10 weeks. Of course that was the Airplay chart. There was also sales and revenue streams to consider ... such as the best selling single in 1998. I am of course talking about that certain Celine Dion song that was on constant airplay rotation forever. 

 

Billboard isn't just flawed, it is complete and utter garbage. 

 

 

 

and we have to live with it.

 

No we don't. I haven't looked up a Billboard list in a decade until this topic, and I consume twice as much music than the average person. I am normally not this strong of a contrarian about items than don't matter a lick ... but the emphasis people put on lists like these is ridiculous. 

 

Though I really want to listen to Nothing But a G-String. That a hidden track on Chronic?  :orly:

Oh, you mean My Heart Will Go On. That song was only #1 on the Hot 100 for 2 weeks, unfortunately. I will admit its is flawed, but I wouldn't go so far to call it garbage.

 

I have no idea about Nothing But a G-String.

I was born in '98, and honestly I would prefer some of the 80s and 90s gems than the songs from the 2000s. I mean, my favorite song of all time is a 90s song.

 

And you see, I have favorites from every decade except for the 90s, the 80s also maybe only having one or two. The 00s were sooo much more memorable, and plus, I've recently discovered a lot more good music from the time that wasn't very well-known.

remembering that nine inch nails didnt have a chart topper in the nineties

 

I think the closest to a hit that Nine Inch Nails had in the US at the time was The Day The World Went Away. But that peaked at #17, so it wouldn't have been in the decade end list anyway.

I just think that the hit songs from the 80s and 90s were more cohesive, and a much more representative for their decades at the time. And they had some songs that are well loved by almost everyone. in the 80s, we had Thriller, and the 90s had the Macarena. Those are probably the most well known songs of those 2 decade.

I'm honestly surprised at the lack of rock on there. I thought some Nirvana, or something off Metallica's Black Album would be on there.

I think everyone did. But R&B and Pop was always the more dominant genres chart wise.

...Not sure I'm understanding. I can name so many more songs representative of their decade in the 1960s, but I can't really name anything from the 80s/90s.

 

Thriller and Macarena? Sorry, but lol.

 

'Thriller' is... I'll bite my tongue. Not my cup of tea. At all.

 

Macarena... The song I completely forgot even existed until a few months ago when it was played on the radio at work.
