@yourmusiceducationReplying to @yvyline So many people have requested this year! 2001 was notable in that the best-self song of the year (“Hanging by a Moment” by Lifehouse) did not reach #1 on the Hot 100. It was also the first year since 1991 that Mariah Carey didn’t have a #1 song (Loverboy reached #2). Janet […]
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @rainbow_sprinklesx2 Closing out a tumultuous decade and capping off the four-year period that produced more number one songs than any other in history, 1989 brings the 80s to a somber end. What catches your attention about this year? What songs/artists are surprising by their presence or absence? #musichistory #learnontiktok #music #oldschool #yourmusiceducation #nostalgia
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @popculturemoron Happy early birthday! 1988 was tied with 1989 for the second most #1 songs in a year. It was a great year to be named Michael or Richard. UB40’s cover of Neil Diamond’s Red Red Wine had topped the UK singles chart in 1983; after a performance at Nelson Mandella’s 70th birthday
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @girrlracer 1985 is here and the 80s train has fully arrived!

@yourmusiceducationReplying to @carlabrat If you remember 1980, this will take you back! Here’s every #1 song from 1980. Queen topped the chart for 7 weeks. What was the biggest surprise to you? #musichistory #learnontiktok #music #oldschool #80smusic #1980 #kcandthesunshineband #rupertholmes #michaeljackson #captainandtennille #queen #pinkfloyd #blondie #lippsinc #paulmccartney #thebeatles #billyjoel #olivianewtonjohn #christophercross #dianaross #barbrastreisand #kennyrogers #johnlennon
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @proverbialsunrise FINALLY MADE IT! Every #1 song from 1968. The year that MLK was assassinated and the Civil Rights Act was signed into law was also the year that the first posthumous #1 song topped the Hot 100. Otis Redding’s first and only #1, the landmark (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @unicornkiller_ 2006: the year before the iPhone was invented. 18 singles hit #1 that year, and there was a great deal of diversity in phone design. If these videos are any indicator! Shakira became the first Colombian artist to have a #1 in the US market, and a record-setting eight collabs hit #1
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @ashminyc Every #1 song from 1981. Which one is your favorite? MTV went on the air August 1, 1981 and the artists who had music videos got HUGE exposure. As we move forward, we’ll see higher quality videos. Also, the longest track title to ever hit any Billboard chart held the top spot
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @stephenfrancis78 Continuing this series, here is every #1 song from 1979 on the Billboard Hot 100. #musichistory #LearnOnTikTok #music #oldschool #70smusic #1979 #beegees #chic #rodstewart #gloriagaynor #thedoobiebrothers #amiistewart #blondie #peachesandherb #donnasummer #anitaward #theknack #robertjohn #michaeljackson #herbalpert #m #eagles #commodores #barbrastreisand #styx #rupertholmes #lefreak #iwillsurvive #tragedy #disco #reunited #hotstuff #goodtimes #badgirls #rise #babe #pinacolada
