Thanks for the input about the charts you'd like to see. We still have a few '60s, '70s, and '80s charts yet to look at, but I'll be mixing them in with some later '50s charts as well as some from the '90s, up to about 1998. Although I wasn't planning to include the '90s originally, I think it will be very interesting to see what our choices from those years are, as we generally don't talk as much about that period here on the Click as we do '80s and older music.
So, this week let's look at our first '90s chart, from 14 years ago, 1994. Here are the top 100 songs from that year.

This was fairly easy for me to narrow down, especially compared to some of the '60s and mid '70s charts. I must admit, there are probably at least 20 songs on that list that I don't know, at least not by the titles.
My favorite on the list would be Cantaloop, which is a mostly instrumental jazz remake of Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island.
Which 10 songs will you choose?
