#3 although that is just a guess. 1989 is a wasteland of music to me.

Among the beautiful, heartwarming, sentimental ballads on the Hot 100 in 1989 were Batdance by Prince, Wild Thing by Tone Lōc, Silhouette (snake charmer music) by Kenny G, Owwww! by Chunky A, Posse On Broadway by Sir Mix-A-Lot, Smooth Up In Ya by Bulletboys, Me So Horny by 2 Live Crew and Hey Ladies by the Beastie Boys,

And my favorite song of the year – by Harrison, Dylan, Petty, Lynne and Orbison – stalled at #63.
