Boy I am a dunce I got # 1 wrong and that was my Wedding song. Ouch.
Ok 9 out of 10. Not bad
5/10 Never really listened much to commercial FM in 1991 'cos most of it was crap IMHO. College radio stations & my own CD/vinyl collection were to my listening tastes. The Grateful Dead, Tom Waits, Dr. John, Stan Ridgway (post Wall of Voodoo) and Frank Zappa, among many others, rarely/never got anywhere near commercial FM radio. Even the paltry 5 I got right were lucky guesses.
7/10🥺
8 out of 10. Rather songs from the 70's and 80's.
3/10 but 10/10 on which songs should have been the bigger hit.
7 out of 10. Was born in 1957 so as a teenager I listened to music groups like "Pink Floyd", "Black Sabbath", "CCR" and "The Eagles". Great music and awesome bands.
6/10
4/10 ... 🤓
Did I have a different 1991? Some songs were just everywhere.
7/10 a lot of forgettable songs on that list.
Especially from Madonna, who's always been known more for generating controversy (which has enabled her to remain in the spotlight long after her "best before" date) than for whatever little talent she has.
Amy Grant's Baby Baby was a #1 hit.
This is about the year ratings not weekly.
4 out of 10.....
7/10 this was my decade!
You can almost feel the acceleration of music's descent.
Look out below.

True. The 1980s were the last great decade in the music business and it was all downhill after that (though there have been a few post-1980s gems that were recorded).
6/10...Wicked Game will always be a classic.
Agreed......as would Roy Orbison. It's one of only a very few decent songs on the entire list. Playing a wicked game, I touched myself and lost my religion. That certainly gave people something to talk about! :-)

4/10.
3. Cannot lie; do have a strong constitution. Heard the correct answer to the point of ad nauseum without bazooka barfing all summer long that year.
