📀 Smashing Pumpkins, 'Disarm'
📆 Number 11 on February 28, 1994

📆 Number 2 on February 27, 1994
The best-selling single in the U.S. in 1994. It was only 10th biggest in the UK, selling slightly less than Man Utd's Come On You Reds.
📀 Mariah Carey, 'Without You'
📆 Number One on February 26, 1994
Released only a week after the death of Harry Nilsson, who made this song famous back in 1971. #90smusic
📀 Cocteau Twins, 'Bluebeard'
📆 Number 33 on February 23, 1994
The poppiest song in the Cocteau catalogue. A shimmering, summery delight.

📀 Wendy Moten, 'Come In Out Of The Rain'
📆 Number 14 on February 22, 1994
A masterpiece of the Singing-Into-Your-Hairbrush genre.

📀 Toni Braxton, 'Breathe Again'
📆 Number 5 on February 21, 1994
Another banger from Babyface. This isn't even his biggest hit of 1994—he also wrote I'll Make Love To You for Boyz II Men.

📀 Suede, 'Stay Together'
📆 Number 3 on February 20, 1994
The begining of the end for Suede v1.0. Bernard wasn't happy with the bombastic melodrama; Brett wasn't happy with Bernard. Ironically, this is the last song they performed together live.
