Having giving 90s mainstream a little more of a chance since last year, my ranking will be more like that now: 1993 > 1997 > 1995 > 1996 > 1999 > 1998 > 1994 > 1991 > 1992 > 1990 My opinion on the mid-90s have fallen a bit in my opinion, but that's because I've had to go through some balladery fodder (Boyz-II-Men, Bryan Adams and co.) which have worsen my opinion on them. But the difference is still pretty marginal. I still do not like the early 90s very much, but I realized 1991 had some good stuff to offer and is just sandwished between two highly mediocre years. It's interesting to see that you have ranked 1994 so low. I personally think it was one of the best years for music of the '90s. Not only did the year see the releases of Dookie, Definitely Maybe, Vitalogy and Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York, but the Top-40 charts were rich with a wide variety of different genres and styles. It was an absolutely great year for alternative-rock, in particular. I'm not that big on Nirvana, I always found Cobain's vocals quite unappealing and a bit grating, which while are completely fine on some songs (I do like "Lithium" particularly a lot for example) tend to ruin some others. The live album is fine, but never really captivated me. It's been a few years since I've heard Dookie, but I remember finding it quite disappointing and inconsistent. Especially after it was so hyped on me at the time. But I've found "Basket Case" strongely outshining a lot of the rest if I remember correctly. 1994 is a perfectly good year, and is nowhere near as bad as the bottom years, but I can't think as much standouts as the other years in comparison, and some of its hits like "All for Love" and "On Bended Knee" range among my least favorites of the decade.

Mariah served yet another iconic era in music.

Would this 1997 song be the last huge hit with any connection to the original Grunge movement? While technically not a Grunge song on itself, it totally has influences all over with particularly those heavily down tuned guitars.

While technically not a Grunge song on itself, it totally has influences all over with particularly those heavily down tuned guitars. It's probably the last song to have had international success. Silverchair were still huge here in Australia during the Late '90s, but whether they can be considered as being "grunge" is debatable. That being said, a lot of music critics do consider their first two albums ( Frogstomp & Freak Show) to be grunge (as I do myself) and the latter album spawned this song, which topped the charts here during 1997:

I can't believe this song influenced many EDM songs of the mid 2010s.

It's funny how I thought New Jack Swing stopped being popular in the mid 90s but the most popular movements of the late 90s was still heavily inspired by the genre.

The 90s were a terrible decade for synthpop (and tbh the 2000s tho until the late 00s) but it's cool that Erasure could still mark a huge hit in the mid-90s. They even landed in the top 20 of the US somehow!

This is a pretty great, underrated metal track from a Brazilian band called Sepultura. It was released in 1996, but it could easily have been released sometime during 1999-2001.

Love the first wave nu metal stuff, while technically more groove this song and the roots album was among first to have a strong early nu influence. Really good track.

Sia's career history has always sort of interested me.
Before she became an international household name with "Chandelier" in 2014, she actually started out as an indie-pop singer during the 2000s and released a number of albums which achieved very little commercial success.
However, it turns out she also had a minor hit here in Australia way back in 1999! She was the featured vocalist of this obscure, techno track by a group called Friendly, which only peaked at #45 and stayed on the charts for two weeks. I honestly had no idea this song existed. I'm currently making a video of every Australian song which charted that year, and that is only how I discovered it.
