The final 2 weeks of 1992 saw the number 1 on the ARIA charts from Whitney Houston with “I Will Always Love You”. The song was tied to the Kevin Costner movie “The Bodyguard” in which she also starred. The song lasted a further 8 weeks into 1993 at number 1.
“End of the Road” is a 1992 Grammy Award-winning, number-one song recorded in May 1992 by Boyz II Men for the Motown label. Written and produced by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Daryl Simmons. It is Boyz II Men’s most successful single and replaced The Jackson 5′s “I’ll Be There” as Motown’s most successful single. The song spent 4 weeks on the top of the ARIA charts from 21st November. I think most of us were happy something finally displaced the previous dodgy tune.
“Achy Breaky Heart” is a hit country music song written by Don Von Tress. Originally titled “Don’t Tell My Heart”, its name was later changed to “Achy Breaky Heart” and was recorded by Billy Ray Cyrus on his 1992 album Some Gave All. As Cyrus’ debut single and signature song, it made him famous and has been his most successful song. It became the first single ever to achieve triple Platinum status in Australia and the 1992′s best selling single in the same country. The song hit number 1 on 3rd October and remained there for 7 weeks. OH THE UNDENIABLE SHAME AUSTRALIA!
1992 was an Olympics year. The city hosting was Barcelona in Spain. This was the song for those Olympics and brought a spanish tenor José Carreras and Sarah Brightman a british singer together. The music was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and has all the hallmarks of his work. The song hit number one on the ARIA chart on 15 August for 6 weeks.
Bobby Brown, or Mr Whitney Houston, hit number 1 on the ARIA charts on 26th September and lasted a single week. The song is a semi-catchy light hip hop song.
