PEAK MUSIC 1993

 1993

This is a series that will attempt to Sport(ify) music by creating a 5 member All-Pro/All League/All Star team (Sort of like the NBA first team all-stars) for each year in Music starting with 1964. It will rely heavily on Top 20 Hits from the year but also take into account Concert Tours, Music awards, Music Videos (MTV Crowd-You Tube), TV, Films, Pop Culture etc….

Mariah Carey – 2 number one hits

Janet Jackson – 3 top 5 hits including 2 number one hits

Whitney Houston – 2 top 5 hits

Duran Duran – 2 top 10 hits (Ordinary World, Come Undone)

Aerosmith – 2 top 20 hits

Just Missing

Dr. Dre 2 top 10 hits including "Nothin but a G things and Bryan Adams. There was large gap between the top three artist and everyone else

It was about -10-15 years ago I discovered that Duran Duran had top bigs hits in the 1990s. I somehow missed it at the time and thought they never resurfaced after the mid 1980s.

  1. Yeah, absolute diva dominance. I think I'd have found a spot for SWV (3 top tens hits including the number one "Weak").

  2. That may have been a miss - I just watched the Weak video, I think I vaguely remember it, I was surprised I really don't remember them at all but they had 3 top 10 hits between March and July that year. Interesting
