On its way down the Hot AC chart this week, this former top 10 on Hot AC never made the pop top 40 or the top 40 of the Hot 100. However, it was used as a long distance dedication on AT40 with Shadoe in November 1994: "Love Is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3gEkwhdXUEPretty amazing that a song which spent 15 weeks at #1 on the British hot singles chart couldn't even crack the Top 40 in America. It seemed that many mid-tempo songs started getting less play around 1993 or so with the rise of rap. |

I was surprised it didn't hit the R&R/CT40 chart. I figured it would have hit there since it came so close on the Hot 100 (peaked at #41). |

The first time I heard it was on "Joel Denver's Future Hits" while he was recapping the BBC Top 5. I remember hearing this on Casey's AC show as well. |

For the first weekend of November, I'll pick a song rising from #47 to its peak of #45 on the 11/2/96 chart. Phil Collins could do no wrong in the mid and late 80s, solo or with Genesis. By the mid 90s, his chart successes were diminishing. "Dance Into The Light" had "hit" written all over it to me but it never made the Top 40 on Billboard. Here is Phil Collins with "Dance Into The Light":

Music really started changing around '93, and all the good songs that would have topped the chart during the '80s now struggled. I bet if this song had been release three years earlier it would have been huge. |

Being infatuated with a lady who loves someone "super" can bring you down, as the title to this lost 90s classic suggests. Jeepers it can even affect an ever-cheerful young photo-journalist! From October 30, 1993, it peaked at #78 during its 9 week stay in the hot 100. Psst! Jimmy! One word: Kryptonite (a pocketful should do it) Jimmy Olsen's Blues - Spin Doctors |

My pick for this week's lost 90s classic was featured at #50 on the 11/6/93 Hot 100 chart. It would peak the following week at #48. Who would have thought that John Mellencamp would miss the Top 40 with his first release from a new album? Who would have thought that his follow-up, "What If I Came Knocking" (a wonderful song), would never hit the Hot 100? Here is "Human Wheels":

Except on AT40, it went to 28 and on CT40, it went to 19. The Hot 100 in the Soundscan era is about as accurate as sticking your hand out the window to determine the temperature.

I check UMD Music for the chart not thinking that AT40 was using the airplay chart during some of the 1992-1994 period. Since "Humas Wheels" was featured on AT40, time for another pick... My next pick was going to be "New York Minute" by Don Henley which was debuting at #82 on the 11/10/90 chart and peaked at #48. There's no video for the song so... time for another pick... From the 11/6/99 chart is a song which spent 20 weeks on the Hot 100 and peaked the first week at #68! On the 11/6/99 chart, Rage Against The Machine drops from #68 to #80. Here is "Guerilla Radio": |

This lost 90s classic is from 11/5/94. The singer sang back-up on Sheryl Crow's "Soak Up The Sun" and also has been a book reviewer. Made it to #6 on the alternative charts, but only #78 during a 12 week stay on the hot 100. Supernova - Liz Phair |

This week's Lost 90s Classic debuted on the 11/17/90 chart at #92 and peaked at #79. The Soup Dragons would hit the Top 40 only once with "Divine Thing" but before that, they charted with "I'm Free":

I never heard the song on pop radio, but "I'm Free" was frequently played at a small dance club I went to LI. It's definitely has a much better groove than the Rolling Stones' original from the 60's.

Offering up a lost classic from 11/13/93, this was at its peak position of #50 on the Hot 100 and would be the last single on that chart for this artist. I give you... Taylor Dayne - Send Me a Lover |

Song is my feature in this week's lost 70s classic. Made a reference to the 90s remake, only to discover that it peaked at #52 on November 7, 1992. On November 14, 1992 the top 5 R&B hit was on its way down the charts [#54], but would hang around the hot 100 for 11 weeks. Work To Do - Vanessa Williams |
