Spending its third week at its peak of #6 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart this week in 1991 was Queensrÿche, with the follow-up to their hit "Silent Lucidity" - "Jet City Woman". 'Jet City' being a nickname for the band's home city, Seattle. Due to Boeing's major industrial presence in the area, with commercial aircraft plants in suburbs Renton and Everett. The company was founded in Seattle in 1916, although they moved their corporate HQ to Chicago in this century.

At #83 on the Hot 100 this week in 1999, after peaking at #80 three weeks earlier, Limp Bizkit also reached #3 on the Modern Rock chart and #6 on the Mainstream Rock chart with "Nookie".

Having already peaked at #58, hip-hop duo Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth were down to #64 on this week's Hot 100 back in 1992, with their song "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)".

Heard this earlier toady on Sirius-XM's 'Rolling Stones Radio', which is temporarily supplanting 'Deep Tracks', in honor of Mr. Watts. My one big complaint with the channel is the overabundance of live versions, especially on the group's '60s material.

mga707, that was the first single from their album "Voodoo Lounge", which was their first studio album in five years. You would think that would be enough to be a big hit, but I'm guessing the low peak was due to being in the post-Soundscan era as well as the fact that Top 40 radio was starting to fragment in the '90s (and also, rock music itself wasn't really the same by 1994, what with grunge, alternative, and even harder rock than the Stones becoming more dominant). In fact, their last Top 40 hit on the Hot 100 was "Rock and a Hard Place" in 1989; on Radio and Records, it was "Out of Tears" in 1994, as dth1971 mentioned.

At #89 on the Hot 100 this week in 1996 was a song by a female British duo that would go on to peak at #72. It would also peak at #50 on Radio and Records in October, and would apparently spend four separate weeks at that position between October and the following February. Here's "Jellyhead" by Crush. Also including Motiv 8's Pumphouse Remix, which is apparently the version I remember being played on radio at the time.

Originally a Dan Hill/Vonda Shepard hit from 1987, "Can't We Try" was covered by Rockell (with Collage), and this week in 1998 it was at #73 on the Hot 100 after having already peaked at #59.

I remember Rick Dees playing Jellyhead numerous times as an extra but it never made his chart. Someone on his staff must have really liked it.

Today's song from 1997 was previously posted in the Lost 2000s Classic thread in a version by Adele. This version was at #58 on the Hot 100 this week that year, after hitting #50. Written by Bob Dylan, here is (so far) the last song to hit the Hot 100 for Billy Joel - "To Make You Feel My Love".

Here's a song I think I heard only once when it came out and haven't listened to since then, but for some reason it always stuck with me. From this week in 1990, and at #80 on the Hot 100 on its way to a peak of #72, is a song by the daughter of Eddie Fisher and Connie Stevens and the half-sister of Carrie Fisher - "Empty Beach" by Tricia Leigh Fisher.
