Whitney I think did her biggest hit was in the 90s. Madonna, idk I never really listened to her music but the ones I heard from the 80s video I liked more. Michael Jackson I think its hard to say 80s wasn't his prime. Thriller, billie jean, beat it, bad, and smooth criminal. Really depends on taste I suppose but 90s his best hit was really black or white. The others were good because its Michael but I wouldn't say they were in most people's top 5 of his.
I was 9 years old at the beginning of this video, and was graduating high school by the end… what a decade. More then half of these songs triggered flashes of memories that I had totally forgotten. Music is something that is undeniably powerful in ways we don’t understand. Great video!
Young Mariah Carey was absolute gold!!! She was huge starting in 1990!! She didn't have a bad song in the 90's! Also, Whitney....yeah, I don't need to say anything, she's just on another level
4:46 lmao Madonna had zero problem at the peak of her fame with shocking people’s fragile sensibilities. 😄 The song and video were very meh compared to Justify My Love but it definitely was a bold move in ‘92
Ppl who were raised in the 90s must have the most diverse taste in music .. the 90s couldn’t decide what genre of music it liked .. they were all good lol
What was truly wonderful about the 90s mainstream music charts was the VARIETY. You have Celine Dion sharing space with Aqua, Whitney Houston, Enigma, Dr. Dre, Meatloaf, Mariah Carey, Roxette, Salt N Peppa etc. No other decade before & since has done that to that extent.
The 90s were my teen years, so a lot of this music holds a special place in my heart. One of the blessings of being born at the start of the decade (1980), I get to fully experience said decade. The 90s were the time when I started paying more attention to the popular music.
Mariah Carey owned the 90s 8 spots on here and she had 14 number one songs in the 90s alone 4 in the 00s and 1 in the 10s and this decade 20s she has 19 number ones in total more than any solo act EVER and 1 behind the Beetles with 20. all she needs is 2 more number ones to make history she is Black White and Venezuelan so she would make Black history and latin history as the artist w the most hits bar none on the billboard charts
1994 might have been one of the best years for music. Behind all this pop nonsense the grunge rock, trip hop and gangster rap were going hard and heavy. I've been alive since 1966 but the '90s were a lot of fun, musically.
Compare the 80s top hits to the 90s & you can see when the slow destruction of our culture started with the introduction of music singing about drugs, sex, depression compared to happiness, family, love in the 80s. It's sad.
Slightly higher level of sophistication in some of the songs compared to the 1980s but the 1980s were definitely more fun. Didn't realize Mariah Carey had so many No. 1 hits. She breezed past Janet Jackson.
I dont undersand, half of the hits were made by blacks...but in the 90s there was no inclusion, diversity and female empowerment...how then this happened?
