After shaking up the world with a classic that made the 1991 countdown, this song became just as much a huge hit and is still heard in various contexts to this day.  The video also featured Eddie Murphy, Iman, and Magic Johnson.  The King of Pop shows up again, this time at #9 in this countdown with Remember the Time by Michael Jackson.

We kick off the countdown of the top 10 songs turning thirty years old with a hip hop classic that became an ultimate sing along.  Like a lot of other songs on prior countdowns, this song is still heard at sporting events and clubs around the world, proving sometimes you just need a catchy sound and arm motion to have a hit.  At #10 in this countdown is Hip Hop Hooray by Naughty By Nature.

This song has remained under the radar for years, and when it arrives, it immediately invokes memories of the early 90s and of this artist.  It also invokes memories of snow in June, hehe.  We wrap up the bottom half of the top 20 songs of 1992 with this #11 track, ironically titled Saved The Best For Last, by Vanessa Williams.

Now we come to a song in this countdown that may not be entirely well known, but upon realizing it was released this year, hearing it again, and still being amazed by the track, it somehow made its way into this countdown.  I remember being amazed that the bassist for Styx originally co-wrote this track and it was a huge hit back in 1992.  The #12 song in this countdown is Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough by Patty Smyth and Don Henley.

While Alive was this band’s coming out song, it was this song that made them a house-hold name in the new Grunge era.  It also spawned controversy by both the subject matter and the censored video that made them no longer want to do videos at the peak of MTV.  It still remains to this day one of the band’s biggest hits, and it arrives at #13 in this 1992 countdown – Jeremy by Pearl Jam.

Known primarily for their funk/rock anthems, like a lot of other groups this group’s biggest early 90s hit is a ballad.  But rather than a love song, it’s a song about loss and acknowledgment of how that loss came to be and the fact that you don’t want to feel again like you did that day.  A phenomenal track, and it comes in at #14 – Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
