The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1998

  1. Amnesia – Chumbawamba
  2. Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) – The Backstreet Boys
  3. This Is How We Party – S.O.A.P.
  4. Superhero (Lover) – Daze
  5. Sex And Candy – Marcy Playground

These were my Top 5 hits exactly 20 years ago this weekend – Sunday April 19TH 1998.

As a not quite 31-year-old I was clearly in to the HI-NRG pop-party bar scene back then. In fact Downtown Disney Pleasure Island (Florida) was one of my favorite places to hang out at the time.

I’ve been producing my own personal weekly hit music chart off and on for the past 30+ years. In 2 weeks on Friday May 04TH I’ll go back another 10 years to the 1ST weekend of May of 1988.

This blog is going on hiatus for a little over a week. I’ll be back in 10 days on Monday April 30TH 2018 with my brand new Top 10 music chart. We’ll see if Austin French can hold on to the # 1 spot.

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1998

  1. I Know Where It’s At – All Saints
  2. I Want You Back – ‘N Sync
  3. As Long As You Love Me – The Backstreet Boys
  4. One More Night – Amber
  5. (I Wanna Be Your) Number One – Alexia

These were my Top 5 hits exactly 20 years ago this weekend – Sunday March 29TH 1998.

The # 1 pop smash nationwide on this date was Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” from “Titanic”. I actually saw “Titanic” on March 12TH 1998 in Fort Worth Texas with coworkers during a military trip. We saw it rather late – nearly 3 months after its box office release. It was still # 1 when we saw it.

(For fun I maintain a database of every movie I see at the box office. I’ve been doing this since 1989.)

I’ve been producing my own personal weekly hit music chart off and on for the past 30+ years. Next Friday I’ll go back another 10 years to the 2ND weekend of April of 1988.

This Sunday I’ll be back with Scripture. I’m leading my church family in Communion on Sunday, and I’ll be using Matthew 28:1-10 as my guide. Today and tomorrow I’ll continue building my May 2018 sermon on “Pride & Prejudice” from the end of Chapter 1 and the start of Chapter 2 of the Book Of James.

That’s all for now. Keep moving forward towards God’s bright light. Remember that it’s Friday now, but Sunday is coming !

The late-1990s were known for boy bands and Eurodance artists. That’s pop and HI-NRG.

I’ve come a long way since then. This upcoming Monday night I’ll present my brand new Top 10 music chart. We’ll find out if “Gracefully Broken” spends a 7TH consecutive week at # 1.

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1998

  1. Sugar Cane – The Space Monkeys
  2. Are You Jimmy Ray ? – Jimmy Ray
  3. I Want You Back – ‘N Sync
  4. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You – React
  5. As Long As You Love Me – The Backstreet Boys

These were my Top 5 hits exactly 20 years ago this weekend – Sunday February 15TH 1998.

Aside from the hottest boy bands in the land (in 1998) there were 3 obscure one-hit-wonders topping my chart back then – and a lot of dancing (and partying) for this 30-year-old at the time. The late-1990s were a fun time for me, but in hindsight it was the continuation of a long and steady descent in my life both professionally and privately. That descent would continue for 13 years until my Lord And Savior Jesus Christ stepped in and saved and rescued me during the Summer of 2006. It’s good to look back at where I came from – knowing that I’m in a much better place today. I see God’s light now.

Ecclesiastes 7:10 (ESV) – Say not, “Why were the former days better than these ?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
