RPM was a Canadian magazine that published the best-performing singles of Canada from 1964 to 2000. Seventeen singles peaked atop the RPM Singles Chart in 1993. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston held the top position from 1992 into 1993, and Bryan Adams achieved the final number-one hit of the year with "Please Forgive Me". Six musical acts peaked at number one in Canada for the first time this year: Boy George, P.M. Dawn, Soul Asylum, Meat Loaf, Blind Melon, and Ace of Base.
