George Michael was a bigger star in this year than this mix would imply (he had 4 hits in the top 5). I was only able to work 1 of the 4 into this mix. I was going to use his song Monkey, but decided that Kissing a Fool (a personal favorite) actually worked better in the 13 track slot. Part of the reason for the switch was hemizen's comments which made me rethink some of my omissions. Another one I almost switched was the last track for "Need You Tonight" by INXS which was a slightly bigger hit and a bit less controversial, but didn't mix as well I felt. Other personal favorites on here are tracks 3 & 11.Pet Shop Boys and INXS are the only groups on this mix where more than one of their songs was used. I've decided to use a picture of INXS' album in which they had 4 songs charting at #7 or better for this year.A few artists I avoided: Michael Jackson doing The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in The Mirror, or Dirty Diana, Phil Collins doing Groovy Kind of Love, Guns & Roses doing Sweet Child of Mine, Poison doing Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Whitney Houston doing So Emotional, Where do Broken Hearts Go, or One Moment in Time, UB40 doing Red Red Wine, Def Leppard doing Pour Some Sugar on Me or Love Bites, Hall & Oates doing Everything Your Heart Desires, and U2 doing Desire. As usual you can click the link on the first song title to access the mix.<!-- -->
