The entire decade is put together like never before. Every artist who had a 90's hit from Aaliyah to Zhane is included in this retrospective look back at 90's music which defined the decade.



From A to Z, each artist is listed with their biggest hits in top 40 90's music. The original cover for the single released is provided if available. 90's music saw a shift in how music was made available. The 45 rpm had been phased out by the cassette single, or cassingle, during the begining of the decade. By the mid 90's, the CD single had become the industry standard for purchasing songs. Eventually, that too gave way as labels only released several on albums. Because of this, Billboard even conformed the Hot 100 to allow a song to be eligible to chart based on radio airplay. In the past, a single could only chart if it was commercially available. By the end of the decade, multiple songs released for airplay only began to drive album sales upwards for 90's artists like Shania Twain , Alanis Morissette and The Wallflowers. Digital downloading eventually became the means of purchasing songs and the retail single was no longer viable in the open market.

Overall, the variety of 90's music that charted is quite overwhelming. As the 90's began, pop music began to fade. The New Kids on the Block, Paula Abdul and Taylor Dayne were among some of the stars who scored pop gems of that type. Of course, the pop sound returned by the end of the decade with acts like *NSYNC , Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys . Freestyle artists, The Cover Girls , Linear and Stevie B , saw their genre fade in the early 90's. Hair bands like Warrant , Winger and Poison were replaced with an edgier form of rock. Nirvana , Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins and Stone Temple Pilots would bring a new sound to 90's music. Alternative rock rose to the top of the charts. Early in the decade, Billy Ray Cyrus and Restless Heart crossed on to the pop charts from the country charts. Before long,Tim McGraw , Faith Hill and Lonestar were regular acts on top 40 radio. Many Christian acts broke into the pop market. Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith and Kathy Troccoli found themselves with major top 40 hits. Rap proved that it was not a passing phase. Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer eased the way for acts like the Notorious B.I.G. and Ice Cube. With so much variety, 90's songs & 90's music filled the top 40 with a little bit of everything.
From 90's music one hit wonders Positive K and Duncan Sheik, to the megastars Christina Aguilera , Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey, they are all here.
Enjoy all the wonderful 90's music.
