Just skimming, but compared to your last few of these I could do without most of these songs.

Man, every time I see lists of songs from the Interzone it wigs me out. From the end of 7th grade (summer of '90) to the beginning of my freshman year (fall of '91), we lived in four different cities, so it's like I'm seeing a mish mash of music from totally different eras. It doesn't help that I kicked off '91 bopping around to Amy Grant and wrapped it up moping out to Soundgarden. On the plus side, I can usually pinpoint pretty much exactly when a song was big based on where I was when it made the rounds.

I will say, despite not listening to the radio a bit the bulk of 1991, I know all of these songs but 11.

Looks like '91 was maybe the first year in which many of the number ones were sample-based. I would assume that has been the norm ever since.

On the other hand, I just saw Alfred's ranking of *favorite* 1991 songs, and that list is much more appealing.

I'd mostly stopped listening to top-40 radio by 1991, so most of these songs I didn't pick up on until years later when I heard them on adult-contemporary stations. As such, they weirdly feel like they're from the 2000s to me rather than 1991.
