I swear I didn't know this: Tom gets to Glenn Medeiros' other hit.

Huh, didn't realize Dino had another top 10 hit. Probably because it was just *before* "Romeo."

This is a great resource for seeing what was on the chart at any given time. It's not Billboard, it's ARC Weekly (which is airplay-only and tends toward mainstream top 40), but you still get a good feel for the time period.

(Click on any of the dates to see the top 40 for that week.)

Wow -- I know at least thirty-two of the songs on the July 21 list. This was the peak of my top 40 listening.

"vision of love" and "it must have been love" are both AMAZING ("vision of love" is better)

WTF? I've never heard those Glen Medeiros and Sweet Sensation songs either - and I'm a 1990 expert...

What is freestyle?

It's crazy how true this is for me too. Not July 21st. Apparently I hit my peak while "Escapade" was #1 a couple months prior.

(xx-post) Wow. I don't think I've heard either of those songs since I was about six, and I certainly didn't know that kind of music had a name. I would've just lumped it in with 80s pop. Interesting. So they called it "freestyle" even though it had nothing to do with freestyle rapping?

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 1 July 2010 02:05 (thirteen years ago) link

Its longer name is Latin Freestyle, though the "latin" part got largely dropped by the time people like Information Society moved in on the sound.
