Top 10 Singles for 1989

1. Princess Princess                 Diamonds
2. Princess Princess                 Sekai de Ichiban Atsui Natsu
3. Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi               Tombo
4. Hikaru Genji                         Taiyo ga Ippai
5. Wink                                   Ai ga Tomaranai
6. Shizuka Kudo                       Koi Hitoyo
7. Wink                                   Samishii Nettaigyo
8. Shizuka Kudo                       Arashi no Sugao
9. Shizuka Kudo                       Kousa ni Fukarete
10. Wink                                 Namida wo Misenaide

I'm guessing the guys were feeling a bit insecure that year. This list was dominated by a female solo artist, a female duo and a female pop/rock group. It may have been Shizuka's year to shine but Wink was not to be denied, and Princess Princess vindicated their near-decade of paying their dues to take the top two spots. And for karaoke singers everywhere, this must have been a banner year.
