Ironically,"Ordinary World" was one of only two number one songs in the first half of 1993 that weren't by females. The other song, which, like "Ordinary World", spent two weeks on top, was "Looking Through Patient Eyes" by PM Dawn. So only four of more than 26 weeks (Janet Jackson and SWV continued the streak into August) were represented by male singers, so, theoretically, of all the years, you'd expect that year to have a female artist at number one on the weekend you're speaking of. 1990 was also a year chock full of female artists at number one, mainly owing to Janet Jackson.
