In 1993, the chart was compiled by Gallup and published in Hit Music magazine every two weeks. During the year, 26 charts were published with 17 singles at number one. The first number-one single of the year was "Womankind" by Little Angels. The last number-one single of the year was "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meat Loaf, which spent the last ten weeks of the year atop the chart.
