Number One Songs 1989

I was reading Billboard Magazine's number one songs for 1988 and 1989; when I noticed that Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was listed both times. Poison's song showed up in both years because it was number one for 3 weeks at the end of December 1988 through the beginning of January 1989. You can read Poison's biography and see their famous music video in my next posting. According to the list below; Bon Jovi and Poison were the only hard rock bands to have number 1 hits in 1989.
