My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1992

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date February 18, 2022

Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 25, 30, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 3RD Friday of the month, so I go back 30 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday February 16TH 1992:

“I’m Too Sexy” – Right Said Fred
“Black Or White” – Michael Jackson
“I’ll Get By” – Eddie Money
“Can’t Let Go” – Mariah Carey
“Vibeology” – Paula Abdul

The late great Eddie Money enjoyed success on the radio during the late-1970s (“Baby Hold On”, “Two Tickets To Paradise”), and then again during the mid-1980s into the early-1990s (“Take Me Home Tonight”, “Walk On Water”, “Peace In Our Time”). “I’ll Get By” was Eddie’s last hit – a power ballad that was embraced by both Top 40 and Hot Adult Contemporary radio stations during late-1991 into early-1992. It was one of those Eddie Money songs that was played for a season, and then it quietly disappeared over time. You may not have heard it in over 30 years. That’s why I’m bringing it back – via the official music video:

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 35 years ago to February 1987. It’s the week that a long-running Australian band scored a # 1 smash on my chart that is one of my favorite songs of all-time that I still hear nearly every day on my iPod Shuffle that plays at my desk at my workplace. And I sing along to it every day. And I’ve probably played it more times than any other American, as it’s a virtual unknown song here in the U.S.A.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going retro with me !

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY – (Or Saint Valentine’s Day.) Like most holidays it’s highly commercialized nowadays with cards, candy, roses, hugs, and kisses being exchanged, and restaurants filling-up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It originated as a church holiday (going back over 1,500 years) – particularly in the Catholic and Lutheran church. Growing up in the Catholic church (and school) as a little kid in the early-to-mid-1970s I remember Saint Valentine’s Day as being quite the event on the calendar. You know I love Christian pop music, as there’s a lot of love in it – even when “Love” is not part of the title or chorus of the song. The overall theme of most of the songs on the radio is love, and the biggest station that plays them all – is K-LOVE. Our God created love. He is love. He commands us to love one another – on this day – and on every day.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Three things will last forever – faith, hope, and love – and the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13 NLT)

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1997

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date February 11, 2022

It’s the 2ND Friday of the month, so I go back 25 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday February 09TH 1997:

“Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” – Madonna
“Spiderwebs” – No Doubt
“I Want You” – Savage Garden
“Wannabe” – The Spice Girls
“I Like It Like That” – The Blackout Allstars

My Top 5 hits a quarter of a century ago were all # 1 hits – 2 formers, 2 futures, and the current. Also – “I Want You” and “I Like It Like That” were 2 of my Top 5 hits for the entire year of 1997.

“I Like It Like That” was an ENORMOUS smash in 1997 here in Miami, but it wasn’t the radio mix of the single. It was the D’Ambrosio Club Mix [Edit] that became an anthem that year in heavy rotation for most of the year from start to finish. Whenever that jam was played on Y-100 I cranked it up in my 8-year-old 1989 Geo Spectrum while cruising up and down South Dixie Highway. (Now that’s retro !)

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 30 years ago to February 1992.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going retro with me !

THE OTHER JORDAN – As Jordan St. Cyr continues on at the top of my chart into his 3RD month – the other Jordan – Feliz – continues his ascent up my chart with his 6TH hit in 5 years – “Jesus Is Coming Back”. It’s now Top 3, and it could climb to # 1 soon. It’s his follow-up to “Beloved” (# 4 in 2017), “Witness” (# 5 in 2018), “Changed” (# 9 in 2018), “Faith” (# 3 in 2019), and “Next To Me” (# 8 in 2021). Mandisa is featured prominently in the song, and it’s also her 6TH hit in 5 years as a lead or featured artist. She’s also my # 22 artist overall since this chart was resurrected 5 years ago.

Here’s the official music video for “Jesus Is Coming Back” – filmed in 2020 during the peak of the pandemic. (It was remixed for the radio in 2021 with added vocals from Mandisa and Jonathan Traylor.)
