Top 10 MOST POPULAR Songs of 1994

It's once again time to dive into another year in the Billboard charts. If you are new this week, I had a goal recently to determine what the top songs of all time were based on a formula that I came up with to keep track of the top songs on the Billboard charts each year. Here's the methodology: each year of the charts I go week by week, giving points to the songs that make the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. The #1 song gets 10 points, the #2 song gets 9 points, all the way down to the #10 song getting 1 point. I could've done the whole Hot 100 like this, but that would've been too time consuming, so I just stuck to the top 10 for now. If you are wanting to check out previous years that I've done, you can follow the links at the bottom of each list to browse through the years or you can search the blog archive on the right. It's my hope that as you scroll through this list that you take time to actually listen to the songs as you go instead of just looking at the title. This has been a great way for me to learn of new music and be reminded of songs that I may have forgotten about and I feel this can have the same effect on you, regardless of your taste in music. So without further delay, let's see what 1994 had to offer!

10- "Another Night" - Real McCoy



9- "Without You" / "Never Forget You" - Mariah Carey



8- "All for Love" - Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting

DrogeMiester's Top 10 FAVORITE Hits of the 1980's

This past week I have finished revealing my list of the top 100 most popular songs of the 1980's. If you haven't seen any of that, click here to start the countdown. In this ongoing Billboard project, I've noticed that when I post a list of the most popular songs of a certain year or decade, people often get curious to know what my personal favorite songs are from that year or decade. Because I do enjoy creating lists of my personal favorite songs, every time I've wrapped up a decade in this project, I've topped it off by posting a list of my top 10 favorite hits from that decade. As I've now finished revealing the most popular songs from the 1980's, it's now time to give you my personal favorite hits from this decade. I use the word "hits" because I've decided that my parameters for this list is that a song had to make the top 10 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in order to be considered. While that eliminates a lot of great songs, like "Pride" by U2 (peaked at #33 in the U.S.), it makes it easier because there were a lot of songs released in the 80's. But even with that limitation, this was incredibly hard for me. I spent a long time looking at titles, listening to songs, ranking, re-ranking, and listening again before I came up with a group of 10 that I felt comfortable with. But here it is! I hope you enjoy! And feel free to tell me your favorite songs from the 1980's after seeing what mine are!

10- "Rock Me Amadeus" - Falco


9- "Shout" - Tears for Fears


8- "Livin' On a Prayer" - Bon Jovi


7- "Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor


6- "Lean On Me" - Club Nouveau


5- "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" - Journey


4- "Take On Me" - a-ha


3- "99 Luftballons" - Nena


2- "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" - Eurythmics


1-"Don't Stop Believin'" - Journey

Top 100 MOST POPULAR Songs of the 1980's: 10 - 1

The 80's countdown is complete! You can click here for 100 - 91 to view the whole list from top to bottom if you missed any part of it, using the links at the bottom of each post or the blog archive on the side to browse through it. If you are new this week, I had a goal recently to determine what the top songs of all time where based on a formula that I came up with to keep track of the Billboard charts. I went through each year of the charts week by week giving points to the songs that made the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. There are a lot of songs whose runs spanned over two years, or even two decades in some instances. With my yearly lists I go strictly by calendar year and thus those songs get short-changed. This is made up for in my decades lists where their entire runs are taken into account. With the songs that spanned two decades, I included their entire runs in the decade where they had the bigger run. I'll start the 90's soon, but before that I will give you my personal favorite hits from the 80's, so stay tuned for that! Now without further ado, let's take a look at the top 10 songs of the entire 1980's!

10- "I Love Rock 'N Roll" - Joan Jett and The Blackhearts


9- "Say Say Say" - Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson
