(Finished November 1st, 2025) Part 2 of The Last Great Billboard Hot 100 Year End Chart: 1991: 85-70

Hello,

I’m an old man and I still think the decade of the 80s was the best decade of music in this modern era of music. I looked at the year end chart for 2000. Sure there were some great songs. But oh my goodness there were some crappy songs. I also looked at 2008’s Billboard year end chart and again there were so many bad songs in that year. There were probably more bad songs than good songs.

So from my old man’s perspective I went back and looked to see what year was the last great Billboard Year End Top 100 and that year seems to be 1991.

I’m going to countdown those 100 songs in order of quality in my opinion.

85) Michael Bolton “Love Is A Wonderful Thing”:

84) Chesney Hawkes “The One and Only”:

83) Color Me Badd “I Adore Mi Amor”:

82) Natural Selection “Do Anything”:

81) Gerardo “Rico Suave”:

I really, really like this song. This song being at # 80 shows how good of a year 1991 was for music. 80) Wilson Phillips “Impulsive”:

79) Salt-N-Pepa “Do You Want Me”:

78) UB40 “Here I Am”:

77) Tracie Spencer “This House”:

76) Rod Stewart with The Temptations “The Motown Song”:

75) Michael Smith “Place In This World”:

74) Extreme “Hole Hearted”:

73) Rod Stewart “Rhythm Of My Heart”:

72) Luthor Vandross “The Power of Love/ Love Power”:
