(Finished November 7th, 2025) Part 5 of The Last Great Billboard Hot 100 Year End Chart: 1991: 38-24

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.

38) Timmy T “One More Try”:

37) WIlson Phillips “You’re In Love”:

36) Rythm Syndicate “P.A.S.S.I.O.N.”:

I love everything about this singer and song. 35) Oleta Adams “Get Here”:

34) Color Me Badd “I Wanna Sex You Up”:

33) Jesus Jones “Right Here, Right Now”:

32) Chris Isaak “Wicked Game”:

Yes this is even more profane than “I Touch Myself”, but to me this is more of a thinking person’s sex song. Oh yeah and I love Madonna and her music. 31) Madonna “Justify My Love”:

30) R.E.M. “Losing My Religion”:

29) Mariah Carey “Love Takes Time”:

28) Celine Dion “Where Does My Heart Beat Now:

27) Amy Grant “Every Heartbeat”:

26) Amy Grant “Baby Baby”:

25) The KLF “3 Eternal”:

24) Cathy Dennis “Too Many Walls”:
