La settimana del 3 Ottobre del 1992, Billboard ha dato inizio alla classifica di Pop Songs con il nuovo Nielsen BDS, che permette un’accuratezza mai vista prima.
Dopo 20 anni esatti, Billboard celebra l’anniversario con la classifica top 100 di questi 20 anni trascorsi.
2 brani di Rihanna sono stati inseriti in questa lista: “Take A Bow” alla #96 e “We Found Love” alla #12!
Solitamente i brani nella Top 100 Pop Songs 1992-2012 vengono classificati in base alla loro frequenza in radio, secondo BDS. Questa volta però sono classificati in base al numero di settimane alla #1 (guadagnano più punti) e settimane alla #4 (guadagnano meno punti).
