Thur 1/21/10: 1993

Jade -Don't Walk Away
Spin Doctors -Two Princes
R.E.M. -Man On The Moon
Haddaway -What Is Love
Gin Blossoms -Hey Jealousy
UB40 -Can't Help Falling In Love
Aerosmith -Cryin'
Ace Of Base -All That She Wants

AAAACK! no escaping Haddaway in '93, I guess.  But a good pop snapshot of the year -- yeah, Whitney was #1 this week in '93 (and many other weeks).

Wow, I haven't heard that Jade song since it was on the charts.

Ace of Base was '93?  I associate that album with my senior year of college, '94-'95.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”
