Actually the only one hit wonders are the Heights (not even a real artist, the song is from a tv show), Us3, Right Said Fred, the Proclaimers, House of Pain, Tom Cochrane, Charles & Eddie, and Fu-Schnickens. So 8 out of 36 were one hit wonders and one wasn’t a real act.
This was one of my favorite commercials as a kid, and I thought the dude and this girl were what cool grownups were like, lol. Since this was 1995 so it was mostly holdover 80s songs which is even better too!

Grunge didn't really start to take off until after Cobain had already died; so around 94/95. Obviously it existed before that (arguably back into the 80s, depending on your definition), but it was mostly in small regional pockets. 95 is when you started seeing bands like Pearl Jam, STP, Pumpkins, etc. really hit the heights of the era, continuing all the way into the early-00s. But before that, you had a sort of weird collection of early hip-hop (think Boyz II Men), the end of hair-metal bands (Metallica was an interesting crossover), and pop (Celine Dion, Whitney, etc). It was definitely an interesting era.
Man, this was such a sweet compilation. It's funny, but I still think about this all the time since I still listen to a lot of these songs! I can remember the whole order of songs from the commercial.
Since this commercial was on the "newer" side of things I wasn't able to here it from memory. I just came across the commercial for the Senior Prom compilations and still new what song was coming next. It is crazy how they find a way deep into our memories. I will be looking these up and if I can get them for cheap on eBay I'll make that investment. If not I will do like I did for the Senior Prom ones and make a playlist on Apple Music.
I'm always surprised the companies who put these albums together never released more specific themed compilations, like The Best of Songs Written By Diane Warren. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
I grew up in the 1990s. When that decade ended, I could tell that the media would no longer be so exciting for me. I had hardly been crazy about music from any time after the 1990s.
Hot chick! I'd even listen to Right Said Fred and Vanilla Ice just for her. I think the set came out in the mid 90's as pop radio was a real mixture in the early 90's with many not knowing just how deep to go into hip hop, r&b, dance, house, freestyle, alternative, and rock. It was a real smorgasbord and buffet of styles if averaged out you'd wind up with Prince.
What about power ballads ("High Enough" and "To Be With You")? This was a couple years before Razor and Tie would release their own hugely successful "Monster Ballads"

They should call this compilation "living in the first 3 years of the 90s". 90% of the songs are 1990-1992 and I dont think any song was from past 1994.
How Do You Talk to an Angel by The Heights is the greatest song in the history of recorded music from TV shows. Way better than the Friends theme song.

"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers is an 80s song. Came out in 1988 in the U.K.
Didn’t get popular til the 90s!!
It didn't become a hit in the US until 1993 after appearing in "Benny & Joon".
Well this CD seems to be focused on the early 90s which was basically 80s leftovers
When they say "living in the 90s" I think they literally mean living in 1990.
