“You Are Not Alone” by Michael Jackson was the first ever song to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. 79 songs have followed since. Most recently “I Need Help” by Post Malone ft. Morgan Wallen.
What I got from this one is the UK and US both love movie ballads and Mickey Mouse Club alum...(and some others, LOL!). Love these compilations. Thanks!
That's a pretty good summary. Deaths would be the other thing that unites them (the Puff Daddy & Elton John songs). When it's the music alone, they are poles apart.

I find it surprising how few #1s in common the US and UK have this decade compared to other decades. Also I didn't know there was a credited featured artist on Meatloaf's I'd Do Anything For Love. Thanks for making this.
We started close at the beginning, drifted away in the middle (Britpop & Eurodance) & came back at the end for the Mickey Mouse Club. 1994 didn't even bother to put an entry in (Wet Wet Wet #1 for a quarter of the year) and a few more are only there because of people who died. 😂 I just watched the Top of the Pops episodes where Boyz II Men were #1. It was hard to get through three weeks. How did anyone stand that drivel for 13 weeks at #1?
@@gnu_andrew…….the drifting in the middle was because of the very very strong presence of R&B / hip hop in the charts. “End of the road” & “I will always love you” we’re just the beginning. The floodgates really opened for the genre just in a similar way Eurodance did across the pond. Boyz to Men, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton were among the biggest chart toppers back then. Ironically Wet Wet Wet’s “Love is all around” would have been their breakthrough in the US, but just missed the Top 40 peaking at no. 41 (it fared better on the US Adult Contemporary or AC charts where it peaked at no. 8).
@@rkyrkrdo that explains a lot, thanks. Janet, Mariah & Toni all made appearances here but not as strong as in the US (not even a #1 for Janet or Toni)

Slow-ass youtube just informed of this glorious upload! Thank you for sharing!

Yes. Nowadays too many songs debut at #1. That along with too many album bombs has ruined the charm of the Billboard Hot 100.

Wow. If you think (Everything I Do) I Do It for You by Bryan Adams was huge in the US, wait until you see how huge it was in the UK.
And still holds the record to this day of the longest run at number 1 in the UK.

I totally agree. I never liked them either. To me, the music is incredibly boring.
@@JCesar-xf2bk I guess "End of the Road" isn't as bad as "One Sweet Day" (16 week #1 in the US!)

Exactly as I predicted, very short and of course none of the UK No.1's of 1994 topped the US
Well, it was Wet Wet Wet for 15 weeks and the others were mostly eurodance (Whigfield, Doop) or Britpop (first #1 for Oasis)
Here in Australia, you could not escape Ace of Base in 1994, which I'm not complaining, I love their songs, haha.
Celebrities didn't finish colleges in this decade
Ryan Seacrest
Reese witherspoon = dropped out from Stanford University
Eva Mendes
Tiger woods = dropped out from Stanford University age 21
Your point?
I guess hip hop did make inroads in the UK after all given that "Ice Ice Baby" was a leader there.
Looks like Billboard doesn't mean anything outside the US back then
I listen to Black or White and think, “Quincy Jones has left the building.” I don’t know what people see in that song.
Michael Jackson wanted more of a new jack swing sound and didn't want the perception of him being dependent on Jones being out there.
