@yourmusiceducationReplying to @not.jrod You folks have been asking for weeks. As we enter the new year, let’s look back on what a wild year of music 2022 was. From Mariah Carey to Mariah Carey, it was one for the record books (and most likely each song will bring TikTok memories to mind and perhaps a […]
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @redmosquito120 How old did you turn in 1993? Here are the #1 songs from that year. More than half the year was dominated by three female artists: Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson combined to hold the top spot for 28 weeks that year. Aladdin was released and had the #1 spot
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @stupidcushion Not only was it a 366-day leap year, but many of us were stuck at home most of 2020. Music videos reflected this as well with some songs having only lyric videos and others dedicated to the memory of touching. Some of the expected stars held the #1 position throughout the year
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @ds___34 I have had so many requests for 2016, so here we go! This was fun. With just two songs, Drake held the #1 spot in 2016 for 19 weeks. Zayn was the first UK artist to debut a single at #1 (sorry Adele, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones). Which songs are
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @stephenarthurin This was the first year since Billboard Magazine began publishing popular music charts in 1935 that no white artist held the top spot.

@yourmusiceducationWhich year was your favorite? The shift in the US pop music landscape from 2010 to 2019 was tremendous. The world went through a recession in 2008 and a pandemic from 2020 through 2022 (2023???). But pop music just kept popping. The shift from mostly CDs to mostly streaming (as well as Billboard’s shifting tabulation
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @aurora.delucia Watch this video twice and you’ll get whiplash. So. Many. Numbers. Ones. Mariah Carey got her first (and second) number one that year and the first of eleven straight years for her. Other notable first-time artists to top the charts were Michael Bolton, Taylor Dayne, Wilson Phillips, and Jon Bon Jovi (as
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @darwinshousecat @theworldaccordingtojoel Every #1 song from 1982. I need all my Gen-X folks to help us beat 2012. MTV went on the air August 1, 1981 and as we move forward, we’ll see higher quality videos. #musichistory #LearnOnTikTok #music #oldschool #80smusic #1982 #olivianewtonjohn #darylhall #johnoates #hallandoates #thejgeilsband #joanjett #vangelis #paulmccartney #steviewonder #thehumanleague #survivor
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @calsgn_jager In 2010, Bruno Mars, will.i.am, and Drake each earned their first #1 hit, and Snoop Dogg got his third (and last so far…) when he collaborated with Katy Perry. Perry, Eminem, Ke$ha, and Bruno Mars all had two chart topping entries that year. Far East Movement earned the first #1#1y Asian-American artists
