As 1992 winds down, it becomes clear how atypical a year it was on the charts.
There were only fifteen songs that went to Number One, the fewest in recent
memory, and for the first time on Radio & Records, every song that went to
Number One this year stayed there for multiple weeks. I thought I'd do a
quick recap of the songs that recently went to #1 on Radio & Records. I
associate music with time periods, so this brought back memories for me. :)

The format is pretty straight-forward. One note of interest is the utter
dominance Mariah Carey has had on the charts since her debut - she has
racked up an astonishing 26 weeks at #1 since her first appearance on the
charts in summer 1990.
