Hot 100 Poll 37 - 1994

[Vizier]

With apologies to the delay, here's poll 37! 1993 saw Meat Loaf's rock epic I Would Do Anything For Love (but I Won't Do That) defeat the competition, and head into the bracket round! This year we see another small poll, as 1994 had two songs at #1 for double-digit weeks.

10 #1s by 9 artists, here's '94:

Mariah Carey - Hero [4 weeks, incl. 1 in 1993]: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVhrIfaPKxw

Stay. Is one of my favorite songs from the 90s.

[Vizier]

Interestingly enough, checking my seeding, the way that Meat Loaf won the last poll, he jumped into being one of the 4 #1 seeds for the brackets, along with Stayin Alive, American Pie, and It's My Party.

Are those really the four greatest pop songs ever? WE SHALL SEE!

Ah, 1994. When Boyz II Men went from being totally awesome to a junior high dance band. But hey, as junior high dance bands go, I'll take them over something like Maroon 5 any day.

Lisa Loeb owns this, of course. Now, if Boyz II Men had released a song like Motownphilly in '94, it would be a much different story.

I like the triple threat

[Orange]

The Sign by a mile, loved it when I first heard it way back when and I love it now.

[Vizier]

About 11 hours to go, Lisa Loeb in the lead by a few votes. The Sign and the Triple Threat a few votes behind, and even Ms. Dion getting a vote so far.

Keep on voting!

[Orange]

C'mon we need more votes for "The Sign"!
