IMOC TOP40 CREW 
THE 1992 I.M.O.C.…
THE FINAL ANALYSES!
From the MINUS ONE Music Spectrum, it’s a special edition of the INTENSIFIED MINUS ONE COUNTDOWN. Yes, this is our annual wrap up for the recently concluded year in Pop Music …THE TOP 40 SONGS OF 1992.
The Joint A.I.R. Force Crew has been working overtime sifting through each hit. Tracing back, every week Jani Linear unleashes Metro Manila’s forty most wanted singles based on local airwave and at the end of the year crewmembers calculate the 40 biggest hits of all. Survey period runs from early December of 1991 to end of November 1992.
This year, it’s a great batch meaning the result has been phenomenal. There are about 250 singles that cracked the weekly countdown and what’s more amazing is the fact that seven cuts hit the # 1 longevity mark of four to six weeks. As expected, foreign acts spearheaded the chart and love songs peaked more than any other sound categories. More so, dominating Top Man, Top Woman, Top Group / Duo emerged magnificently and tracks with visionary qualities overflowed. Acoustic pieces set the trend towards chart success while remakes, samplings & rap music are still the stepping- stone towards an artist’s breakthrough.
Finally, sold-out concerts – foreign and local alike, techno dance music & slightly heavier sounding songs, Madonna’ voyeurism, Bruce Springsteen’s return, Prince Charles and Lady D’s break up, Ramos & Clinton’s successful bid to presidency. Barcelona mania & a lot more apparently highlighted the year.
