British Couple Reacts to Most Popular Song Each Month in the 90s

[@masonmason5153]

You guys should do the 80s too. There's a ton of recognizable songs in the 80s.

I'm not sure they'd recognize 80s music.

[@angelxemotions9102]

Im surprised nobody has commented yet on Mariah Carey. Believe it or not she was the biggest artist of the 90s, yes even bigger than MJ, Janet, Celine, Whiney, Madonna, and bigger than any band and group too. She had at LEAST 1 #1 hit for every single year of the 90s decade, by the end of the decade she had 14 #1s already and one of them was even named song of the decade by billboard spending 16 weeks at #1, it was actually the one yall recognized with Boys 2 men. She was the most successful best selling artist of the decade and was named artist of the MILLENNIUM by the end of the 90s.

[@popinsider450]

It’s surprising that Céline’s it’s all coming back, bc you loved me and my heart will go on are more famous worldwide than all Mariah’s number ones. That’s what I call legit hits. I know only the xmas song of mariah

Mariah has HUGE worldwide hits like Fantasy, Hero, Without You, I wanna know what love is, Emotions, O Holy Night, Always be my Baby, We Belong Together, etc. shes the biggest selling solo artist in the entire continent of Asia, Im pretty sure shes bigger than Celine in both Africa and South America (at least in some countries like Brazil), she has more albums certified diamond by RIAA, shes one of the most streamed pre-2000s artists, way bigger than celine, she’s literally ranked by billboard and many other outlets as the biggest star of the 90s and is the biggest and best selling artist of the decade, and whos songs r still trending on tiktok? Ik damn well its not Celine’s, meanwhile Obsessed, Its a Wrap, and her iconic Christmas song rule tiktok every now and then, not to mention the many viral challenges of her songs like of her song Emotions and My All.

[@jawbone78]

My entire teenage years and the first few years of my twenties just flashed before my eyes. Or ears. It's really incredible the way that five second clips of songs from 30 years ago can just put you right back where you were then, if only for a fleeting instant. Whether it's hanging out at a friend's house, playing computer games alone, getting dressed for sports, working at my first job - almost every one of these songs transports me back to a particular long-gone moment in time, and makes me feel exactly what I felt then.

I think I can forgive y'all for not being aware of 1997's version of Candle in the Wind. Elton's original version was an 80s song dedicated to Marelyn Monroe, the 90s version was dedicated to Princess Di because she died around that time and it was sung at her funeral. Since y'all weren't born yet, it's fine. But yeah it was rare back then to see footage from another country (outside of the Olympics and huge world wide sporting events), but this was one of them and her funeral aired in the US too. 90s were my teen years and in fact I graduated HS in 2000. So yeah I knew all of these songs lol. Fun fact- when One Sweet Day first aired on the radio, I actually said, "Song of the Decade there" not known just how much on the nose I was because it would hold the #1 spot for 16 weeks for 23 years. Is anyone besides me sadden that it took until 99 to see Cher (if you saw the 80s video). Like she's one of those few artists to have #1 hits in multiple decades.

To be fair I also realize many Brits don't care much fo the royals anymore. I never really did myself. I only cared about Princess Diana because of her humanitarian work and big heart.
