1- End of the Road- Boyz II Men- OK but I never understood why this was so HUGE it was #1 for 13 weeks the longest in the rock era up to that point
2- Baby Got Back- Sir Mix A Lot- I never liked these butt rap records. This is the biggest of that genre
3- Jump- Kriss Kross- this shows that almost anyone can have a hit record
4- Save the Best for Last- Vanessa Williams- pretty enough
5- Baby Baby Baby- TLC- never cared for TLC
6- Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton- don't like this
10-Just Another Day- Jon Secada- he sounds anguished, it is catchy though

top artist: Boyz II Men

R&B

1- Come and Talk to Me- Jodeci- never liked this group
2- Honey Love- R Kelly and Public Announcement- this was before R Kelly became an NC17 personality
3- You Remind Me- Mary J Blige- OK, it was from a movie
5- Tell Me What You Want Me to Do- Tevin Campbell- not terrible but nothing special even then
6- Mint Condition's first single, Breakin My Heart Pretty Brown Eyes- nice enough tune and it hit the pop top ten too, beginning of the end for self-contained r&B bands though
8- Somebody Loves You Baby You Know Who It is- Patti Labelle- OK, nothing to rave over
9- Tennessee- Arrested Development- the most interesting song in the r&b to ten. Good tune
10- Stay- Jodeci- YUK


Adult Contemporary:


2- Hold On My Heart- Genesis- a bit dreary
3- If You Asked Me to - Celine Dion- liked it alot in 92, not so much now
4- The One- Elton John- never liked this. What in the world happened to this guy's music? His 70s records are so much better than this stuff
6- Restless Heart- Peter Cetera- not too special
7- Beauty and the Beast- Celine Dion/Peabo Bryson- This is the best of the A/C top ten, didn't think much of it in 92 but it is nice for this genre and is much better in hindsight than the Alladin theme
