Patty Smyth (top) and Don Henley (bottom) collaborated on " Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough", the most successful hit in Canada during 1992.

RPM was a Canadian magazine that published the best-performing singles of Canada from 1964 to 2000. A total of twenty singles reached number one on the RPM Singles Chart in 1992. The year began with " No Son of Mine" by Genesis at the top spot and ended with Whitney Houston's " I Will Always Love You" at the summit. Seven acts obtained their first Canadian number-one hit as either a solo or featured artist: Mr. Big, Vanessa Williams, Celine Dion, Trey Lorenz, Patty Smyth, Annie Lennox, and Alannah Myles. Genesis, U2, Elton John, and Eric Clapton each achieved two number-one singles during the year.

The best-performing single of the year in Canada was " Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough", a duet between Patty Smyth and Don Henley, which topped the chart for seven weeks in September and October. Three Canadian acts scored a number-one single this year: Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, and Alannah Myles. Best known for her 1989 hit " Black Velvet", Myles' highest-charting song in her home country is " Song Instead of a Kiss", which topped the Canadian chart for four weeks in November and December. Celine Dion also picked up her first homeland chart-topper with " If You Asked Me To", which stayed at number one for three nonconsecutive weeks.

U2 remained at number one for six weeks with their two number-one singles—" Mysterious Ways" and " One"—while Elton John and Mr. Big each topped the chart for five weeks with their hit records. Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz also had a five-week stint at number one with " I'll Be There", and George Michael and Madonna both logged three weeks at the summit this year.
