This list is just my perception. I was 6 years old on November 20th, 1989 and was not encouraged by my mother (or my father) to be materialistic or independent in my existence. Perhaps someone who was alive and more observant of the decade as it was unfolding can correct me on some of these. I know some of these songs are regularly played on radio today but may have not been as preferred in their heyday. I read on someone's Amazon review that Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" only went up to #7. I really have to rattle my head way too hard to figure out what else might have topped that song. It's an amazing song. Maybe too amazing for its time? Hmm...
