POLL: US Top 40 Singles For The Week Ending April 30, 1994

xp yeah they only opened it up recently, like within the past few months

Yeah, that bottom 40 is WAY better.

i remember these polls that matos used to do: Billboard Hot 100 New Entries, December 2003

he polled new hot 100 entries for every month from jan 2000 to dec 2003, it was p fun

Wow, I totally missed all that.

Voted "Whatta Man," but big love to "I'll Remember" and "Gin & Juice." Of the many terrible covers, I'll take the 10,000 Maniacs one, even though Natalie Merchant could drain the sexiness out of a sex swamp. I had happily forgotten that Richard Marx and Michael Bolton were still charting into the mid-'90s. I respect the Bruce song more than I love it, "Bump n Grind" suffers from knowing too much about R. Kelly.

I think in my mind I had fused the Big Mountain version of "Baby I Love Your Way" with the Will to Power version, to the extent that I remembered them as the same song.

lol I didn't even notice it was the Big Mountain version. I just glanced and thought it was Will to Power and briefly thought "wasn't that from earlier than 1994?"

Hint: Will To Power is way, way better.

I'm surprised by all of the positive mentions of "I'll Remember" because, personally, I'll remember "I'll Remember" as the second blandest hit Madonna had had at that point (after the drippy "This Used To Be My Playground").

lol 1994...I'll Remember is on a soundtrack with Mudhoney's Run Shithead Run.

"Playground" does nothing for me, but I love the melodic turns in "I'll Remember" (basically, I love most Patrick Leonard-Madonna compositions).

that'll be the With Honors soundtrack, also home to Kristen Hersh's "Your Ghost"

The keyboard bedrock of I'll Remember is absolutely lovely.

I saw With Honors at least a couple times, but never really looked at the soundtrack. It's absurd and great at the same time.

I love that the bassline starts below the root on each repetition. I love those backwards strings in the bridge. I love the patient undulations of the synths. It's perfect balladry.

How many fucking versions of Baby I Love Your Way can there be?

3, apparently?

Had to have been a UB40 version in there somewhere. Had to have been.

Lol Alfred I was talking about the song, my bad

Really stoked about the love for I'll Remember after its somewhat lackluster performance on the Madonna poll; it was def top 5 on my ballot though. Def in the running for me, tho Snoop Dogg, Crash Test Dummies, "Dunkie Butt" and "All that She Wants" are also huge for me. And I dont remember Player's Ball making top 40

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Bubbling Under: The Breeders - Divine Hammer" - that could be the name of my memoir

Haha

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Didn't vote Because of Love cause I was sure somebody else would, ilm has failed me

Loser, huh?

"Loser" is complete and utter garbage and you are in denial if you think otherwise.

this is like Skeletor fatally wounding He-Man
