Actress Nia Peeples didn't have a long recording career and is somewhat forgotten; her 1991 album isn't on Spotify (except for the first single), which is a shame, because it's really good and I think very Moopy friendly. Street of dreams peaked at #12 and is fantastic. So is the follow up...

Knots landing by a mile, this edit in particular.

Top 5 1991 pop hits that didn't get a (proper) mention and I think they deserve it: (kala-friendly list, no men found here) Kiss them for me - Siouxsie & The Banshees After so many years, Siouxsie Sioux finally has a top 40 hit in USA, her only one. Kiss them for me peaked at #26 in late 91...

Top 5 1991 r&b hits that didn't get a (proper) mention and I think they deserve it: (WARNING: this post contains heterosexual lyrics) Sex Cymbal - Sheila E. Recent Grammy winner Sheila E. totally flopped with her 1991 álbum; at least the lead single managed to make the top 40 in the r&b...

Yes, and when I said it was copied by other music videos, I didn't mean the idea, but the technology to do that; probably copied was not the right word, they simply used the same programme to do high quality transformations. Terence Trent D'arby's Delicate, Coolio's Fantastic Voyage, and...

I thought the same about Kym Sims, the single didn't have a picture and I don't remember watching the video back then. Btw, now that you put them in the same sentence, Kym Sims cowrote one of Ce Ce Peniston's biggest hits, coming up next year. The premiere of the video was such a thing, I...

I had no idea M People were already charting in USA. They won't have a proper hit there until Moving on up, their only pop hit, but I believe they were regulars in the US dance chart. I only know their 2 US hits, I assume the other you're talking about is Scary kisses? At least I remember it...

Until now both radio stations and record stores reported by phone both airplay and sales of the records. This is gonna change since the last week of November; this is what Billboard says about it: Beginning with this issue, Billboard has revised the way data is compiled for the Hot 100 Singles...

Yeah, I know. I think they were there in the right moment, when EMF was leading a small British invasion, and after the massive success of Unbelievable, why wouldn't a record company try to have the next big hit? You never know. Remember most of the lists that were reported (by phone) to...

Ok, so were Jesus Jones that big in the US in 1991 as the charts suggest? Let's see. Right here, right now was a proper hit. Even when it peaked at #2 in the Hot 100, it peaked at #3 on airplay and only #9 in sales, so not such a smash hit. Those peak positions are not very usual for a #2 song...

God, I was a little kid but this has to be my first memory of what truly saturation of a song was, this had to be constantly on tv and radio. I remember my older cousins talking about them, and me nodding as if I had any idea what was going on with those rockers with long hair and lipstick. I...

Oh yes, he had quite a few hits in the 90s in USA, this one is quite forgettable, but I'm sure you know at least one coming up that was a huge hit. We'll talk about it in due time. Btw, we ignored him because who cares about Bob Seger in the 90s? But now (late 91) he was having his last hit with...

Btw, I just realised of another pointless trivia. This is the first of 4 acappella songs that are going to make the Hot 100 in less than 3 years, and all of them Top 5 hits :shock:

How did I not know this? I just realised that I've seen the name before, probably many times checking the charts, but I had them mixed up with another girlband from the early 90s called Girlfriend 🤦‍♂️ An Australian group that obviously has nothing to do with the American one :D I know them...

alla didn't have time to breathe all week, i'll post some hot shit later.
