Set Adrift On Memory Bliss

I know this much is true … Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of a New Jersey-based band hitting number 1.  Today is an anniversary for another act from New Jersey.  Exactly 20 years ago today, New jersey-based hip-hop duo P.M. Dawn hit number 1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 with “Set Adrift On Memory Bliss,” which sampled the 1980s’ Spandau Ballet tune “True.”  While this was the only time that P.M. Dawn would hit number 1, they did hit the top 40 three other times over the next couple of years, with “Paper Doll” going to number 28, “I’d Die Without You” hitting number 3, and “Looking Through Patient Eyes” rising to number 6.

Back in 2009, Tunesmate asked “Where are you now?” about P.M. Dawn. Well, at least we know where they were 20 years ago: at number one!
