Smorgasbord Blog Magazine – The Breakfast Show with William Price King and Sally Cronin – Chart Hits 1993 Part One – Sting, Whitney Houston, Ace of Base, Haddaway
Welcome to our show and we are excited to share decades of music with you in 2022.
Here is my first selection of top 1993 hits which I hope you will enjoy.
Sting – If I ever lose my faith in you
“If I ever lose my faith in you” was released as the lead single from Sting’s fourth studio album “Ten Summoner’s Tales.” The song reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and made the top 40 in several European countries. In Canada the song peaked at #1, spending three weeks atop the RPM Top Singles chart and finishing 1993 as Canada’s fourth-most-successful single. It remains one of Sting’s signature songs. In 1994 the song won Sting a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Performance and was nominated for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

Whitney Houston – I will always love you
“I will always love you” spent 14 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, which at the time was a record. It is also the longest running number-one single from a soundtrack album. The song was #1 on the Hot 100, Adult Contemporary, and R&B chart simultaneously for a record-equaling five weeks. The song stayed at #1 in the U.S. throughout January and February 1993, making it the first time Billboard did not rank a new number-one single until March of the new year and was the year-end #1 single of the year.
