I found out this morning that Mark Lanegan, lead singer of the grunge band Screaming Trees, passed away yesterday. The one song I really know from the band, "Nearly Lost You", had entered Billboard's Modern Rock chart in September 1992 and peaked at #5 in October, but it didn't enter the Album Rock Tracks (later Mainstream Rock Tracks) chart until December, peaked at #12 in January, and this week in 1993 was down to #35.

At #59 on this week's Hot 100 from 1991, The Cover Girls would only take "Funk Boutique" to #55. Despite not hitting the Top 40, the song got a bit of airplay in the New York area at the time and made WHTZ Z100's Top 100 for the year.

Today's song from this week in 1994 was debuting on the Hot 100 at #91, went all the way up to #59 the following week, then dropped down to #97 the week after that and left the chart. But it would be Nine Inch Nails' first Hot 100 entry - "March of the Pigs". The official video is a live performance, so the album version is included as well.

In its last week on the Hot 100 this week in 1998, rapper Big Punisher was at #83 with a song he took to #57. Sampling "Darlin' Darlin' Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love)" by The O'Jays, here's Big Punisher with "I'm Not a Player". The first video is the censored clean version, the second isn't and is definitely NSFW.

One of my favorite non-top 40 hits ever. I used to see it on MTV all the time in 1992 and kept hoping it would be a pop hit. Not so much.
