The 90's was pure gold! So many different types of genres and an insane amount of one hit wonders
They all had so much personality to them
I specially like Michael Jackson
Canada was fairly well represented with Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, and Shania Twain. But I was shocked to not see any Alanis Morissette as she did have the biggest selling album of the 90’s with at least 5 hits from that “Jagged Little Pill” album.
Those rankings are subjective
I'm really impressed with your 90s knowledge, and yes, Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots" is a classic banger. She's an uber talented musician, singer, and (I believe) composer.
Nothing better in the 90s than Duran Duran with their amazing Ordinary World. A masterpiece along with Come Undone.
80's Duran Duran were much better than the 90's Duran Duran.
@@module79l28 that's true - but 90's duran duran seems to be more popular
"Don't Speak" by "No Doubt" was released on album in October 1995, as single April 1996. It went to number 1 in March 1997.
Hi Verdy,
That's why I follow your channel, there is nothing more genuine than your happiness 7:00 when you react to your compatriot Celine Dion...☺ you are so authentic and no other channel compares to you, thank you and keep it up. 🤞
"I don't know how the hell they got on that boat...", could not stop laughing. Nice one .
Well, I was in my early twenties when the nineties started, and I never realized how detached from mainstream music I really was...sorta knew some of the songs, I was so entrenched in Tool, NIN, Ministry, KMFDM, Danzig, Type O Neg., etc., I guess I didn't listen to the radio much😊This was really great...
Same, and she knew more of the songs than I did, but I crushed her in the 60's 70's
Lol yep, I turned 23 in 90, and I was ALLLL about Alternative, Thrash Metal, Hardcore, Industrial, Hard Rock. Strangely, only one song I didnt recognize… the one with Bryan Adams, Sting and someone else. Never heard it.
Forgot what a stone FOX Mariah Carey was when she first started… be still my heart lol
@@buzzbomb67 Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star was, and always will be, my absolute perfect woman...she was so mesmerizing back then, drove me crazy...🤣
Hope was an angel … I STILL have a crush on her, to this day haha
Right? I mean... I knew all of the songs... I guess because they were being played everywhere... but it was grunge, alternative rock, and jam bands for me at this time. There are only a handful of songs on this list that would have been in my CD library at the time.
Child of the 60's and 70's, amazing how many covers of 60's and 70' music there were in the 90's. Counted about 6 or 7. might have been more.
March 1993 was amazing, with Ordinary World by Duran Duran.
Oh yes, Duran Duran and their massive comeback hit!
1993 as a whole was a good year for music
How Rolling Stone calls themselves a respectable Rock mag is beyond me?
Bird cage liner
I was born in 87 and remember 90s music very fondly. This was before the internet was really a big thing for entertainment so all I had in my room for entertainment was my parents old record player, their records and a radio.
More videos like this please, so many forgotten memories come back when you hear particular songs. 👍
For the record, "I Will Always Love You" dates back to 1974 and was written by the country singer Dolly Parton.
You did awesome. I could not believe you seemed to know nearly every song😅
You're a lot of fun.
Wow, how cool is that? I hoped you would react to this 😍 Also, seeing that you didn't seem to know Enigma: please react to them, you'd absolutely love them! The song you heard in this video, "Sadeness" is amazing, and also "Return to Innocence", which is one of my favourite songs ever! So deep and relaxing. Also, "Ordinary World" from Duran Duran is fantastic too, also worth a reaction!
Yes. Though actually Enigma is one man composing, with guest singers.
Looking back it was such a rich decade. The remnants of disco and real emergence of the club scene. Power ballads, techno, hip hop, reggae, international influences, it had it all. The real age of the music video. Great trip down memory lane.
ive always said it. the 90s were an epic music decade. . all different genres were there.. most were hitting some big highs too
Such a variety in music. I wish i lived back than in the old days
You’re so right about Patrice Rushen’s song, Forget Me Nots. Just a great 80s R&B song.
The early to mid 90s were awesome.
Great reaction. I was in my prime in the 90's. I miss those days.
yay... there's about a half dozen or so youtube channels i'm happy when they post.... especially something i am interested in. love your channel. wish i had money to support your work.
haha.. i remember most of those.. nice trip back thru memory lane.. funny, I clapped at the same time you did during the chorus in Men in Black
I was surprised by how many were covers of older songs.
The 90's were sooo good! And I am really impressed of how many songs you knew. Keep up the good work! 👍
The 90's were 🤮🤮🤮. Possibly one of music history's worst era's. You can't help when you were born though.
@@stevemurrell6167 Ok.
@@stevemurrell6167 the rot started in the late 80’s. There’s less than 10 decent songs on this whole list. The decade the music died
You seem like such a genuine sweet person, I enjoy your content 😁 your music knowledge is pretty impressive
Now do 2000s Gangy 💪🏻. I love these types of videos!!!
It's really incredible how old some of those songs are already, seems like yesterday 😉
Haha, and all that Euro-Dance in the first half... I'm glad we got over this 😊
I was stunned someone who looks like you knew "No Diggity" 🤣🤣🤣 So young!
"I don't know how they get on that boat, but I know how it ends"
That's Titanic for most people. lol
Verdy? Music? Can't go wrong with that combo.
"Without You" was first done by Badfinger, though the most well known version is by Harry Nilsson.
"Killing Me Softly" ( written by a songwriting team ) was a big hit for Roberta Flack in the 70's.
3:37 - Poor Extreme, they'll forever be known for a song that doesn't represent their sound at all.
If I had to describe the 90's Tops it'd be this: Eurodance, movie OSTs, boys bands, girls bands, R 'n B, Hip-Hop, Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey.
You can say that to Mr. Big too, a hard rock band only known for their one ballad song.
I admit I was a bit surprised when it looked like you didn't recognize "Still the One" by Shania Twain, another Canadian artist. It's a great song, you should check it out!
Crazy amount of R&B
I had almost forgotten how much good music came out in the 90s. A few Canadians in the mix there too!
Young Mariah Carey was gold!!!! She didn't have a bad song in the 90's
Soy nacido en el 82 y esta música de la decada de los 90 trascendio y marco mi adolescencia, saludos verdy🇦🇷😄🖐️
Verdy i got great news for you, BabyMetal will be in Vancouver and Toronto with the Babyklok Tour along with Dethklok next September, i really hope you'll get the chance to see them live. Today they released a new version of The One at The First Take channel and they just finished a set of 8 songs live at Leeds, UK for the Sabaton's Europe Tour.
Take care and see you next time 🦊🤘❤
I was growing up in the 90s, but getting past the nostalgia, I think it was the decade when things started to go bad for the standard radio music. Quite a few songs from this compilation sound like white noise to me.
Great channel !
Knowing all the french Canadian stars but not the english Canadians is typical. Quebec isolates itself to protect it's language and culture.
Top nice Verdy :-)
So my takeaway is that there were a lot of great songs in the 90’s - and evidently very few of them did well on the charts. Love these reactions!
Pop is always top of the charts, it's just that pop now is often hip-hop/hip-pop.
I suppose it's partly as anything other than pop tends to appeal to only a section of society. eg: Grunge would typically not be so popular with hip-hop fans & vice versa (though personally I liked both at the time, but more hip-hop)
You're right. That was Patrice Rushen. Forget Me Nots.
Excellent!
This must be US charts
Loved the old skool dance stuff.
When did Maria careys chest expand? 😮
If you're going to do the next decade, stand by for disappointment 😂
Great channel 🌹
2:39 it was used in Fallout Boy's song "Centuries".
What amazes me watching this is how the vast majority of this music wasn't what I or anyone I knew was actually listening to in the '90s... there are like half a dozen songs in here that were actually played on the radio stations I listened to or in the places I was spending time...
Bravo, j'ai bien adoré ta réaction. Tu connais plusieurs chansons. Plusieurs des chansons etaient populaire dans les boites de nuit. Ca rappel bien tout le fun qu'on avait les vendredi soir.
You mentioned Patrice Rushen you should hear her play "Renaissance" on Jean Luc Ponty's album "Aurora"
(P.S. 110 years ago tonight Titanic struck ice berg).
If you HADN'T known Celine Dion, you'd have been expelled from Canada!
7:36 didn't know Love Actually got its song "Christmas Is All Around" from another Hugh Grant inspired song.
The 90's had possibly the biggest change in sound out of all the decades. The early years was still predominantly American (alt & glam) rock and pop which was so recognizable from the 80's to something more diverse, obviously influenced by other genres and even cultures as well. House music came around, dance came around, Europop, latin sounds and mostly RnB and rap and then all the boybands not to forget and the bpm went up compared to the early 90s.
It weren't just American/UK artists anymore.
Not to mention grunge, which was big.
Hip-hop was also at it's peak, with an absurd range of quality rappers/groups who all had a clear difference. Albeit it unfortunately it pushed it more & more towards the 'gangsta' image/lyrics.
Techno was popular in the latter years, then there was also the world music-ish Deep forest, Enigma, etc.
@@DoubleMonoLR Agreed, but I was talking about mainstream music what she is watching in this video. The hits we watched on MTV etc and heard on the radio.
But yes I believe a whole spectrum of different non-mainstream genres have sprouted back in the 90s.
However unfortunatly gangsta-rap has been one big contributor leading to whole generations of degenerate children worldwide or at the very least boosted what was already there. Because of it we now have drillrap and so many absolute clowns who can't even talk properly, use made-up words and can't function in society because they've been brainwashed thinking live is about money, b*tches, stealing, drugs and killing to survive. Not everyone is capable (certainly those who come from poverty and are very young) of taking stuff with a grain of salt or taking it serious. And I'm saying that even tho I liked 90s gangstarap, but I see what it turned to.
The songwriter of "Hit Me Baby ( one more time )" is foreign and had badly remembered the American expression "hit me up."
Wow I'm impressed with the amount of songs you know and vibe with those 90's hits. Love Celine Dion, i had a crush on her back then, she recently released the 4K version of My Heart Will Go On, totally recommend the movie, of course, but my favorite song is "It's All Coming Back"❤
Another Canadian singers i recognize in this set and love them of course, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, Snow (Informer is the only song i know lol), and if there's anyone more please point it out and apologize.
Love more than 90% of these songs, especially MJ, Madonna, Roxette, Ace Of Base, BSB, Spice Girls, Britney Spears and many more artists, such cool decade with those songs.
Totally right with the Men In Black song using the sample of Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots, is way better the original song.
Thanks for bringing back those good old memories Ariadne.🦊🤘❤️
I would like to suggest (again) a song for you to react to. "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group. There's a really good live version from 1973, but I suggest you listen to the studio version first, then the live version.
Some songs that deserved a place at the top of the chart.
1990: Enjoy the silence - Depeche Mode // Groove is in the heart - Deee-Lite
1991: Gypsy woman - Crystal Waters // Losing my religion - R.E.M.
1992: Don't you want me - Felix // The Show must go on - Queen
1993: Living on my own - Freddie Mercury (remix No More Brothers) // Show me love - Robin S
1994: 7 seconds - Neneh Cherry & Youssou N'Dour // Saturday night - Whigfield
1995: Boombastic - Shaggy // Stupid Girl - Garbage
1996: Born slippy - Underworld // Don't stop movin' - Livin' Joy
1997: Around the world - Daft Punk // Bittersweet symphony - The Verve
1998: Torn - Natalie Imbruglia // Nobody's wife - Anouk
1999: Snow on the Sahara - Anggun // Maria - Blondie
Bonus Track 1999/2000: L'amour toujours - Gigi D'agostino.
Hmmm... I would have thought that "Firestarter" and "Black Hole Sun" were popular songs, that Nirvana and Pearl Jam would have represented more, Smashing Pumpkins might have made the cut one month, and RHCP would have shown up more than once.
i graduated high school in 93 and college in 97. oh the memories
Ah. My decade. ^^
Not all my favourite music but definitely the decade of music I grew up with. I was actually the "weird kid" who was obsessed with Wet Wet Wet and would sing their songs to myself. Made me very unpopular as they were seen more as the band your mother would be into.
Interesting that "Baby One More Time" hit the peak of its popularity in '99 when the single was actually released in '98. It's the album that was released in '99. I guess even then touring helped promote the music.
thank you
Meat Loaf is a must! Scatman John too.
I was born in 1980. The 90s were when I was a teenager. We were spoiled rotten by the music industry. the 90s were the last good decade for music. We had Peak Celine, Peak Whitney, Peak Mariah, and Peak MJ, not to mention the myriad others.
You are right that the original was better than the cover on not only that song, but all the covers were worse than the originals... I believe that there was at least 4 in that group.
So many throw away songs as well, 80's list was WAY better.
Amazes me how music is global to all that are allowed to injoy and sorrow for those that can't....we can do more for our world..music opens doors
You remind me a little bit of Amber Benson. Thank you for the video, by the way.
Something about Celine Dion... Do you know that Celine Dion won Eurovision 1988 as the representative of Switzerland?😀
90s are pretty unique. The beginning still has that 80s flavour, but then there is kind of big split between US and Europe. rap shows in pop industry, there are still big hmm rock bands, ballads, while europe completely starts to dominate whole world with euro dance so hard that american music industry started to think how to retake that (because the were literally losing money, monopoly).
In Europe Viva channel was the NEW thing, that popularized dance, euro dance, techno, trance (and of course big pop bangers). As teenagers in europe we still watched MTV but compared to music Viva aired it felt hmm old / established / older generation (rap, rock). Viva was that first choice of new, trendy music, while MTV lost it, because they ignored the trend and kind of pretend ed that whole world is still Into rap, "rock". Some songs very popular in Europe werent even play at all. I guess it was the only decade where that split between us and europe music industry was big (especially compared to globalisation in next decades).
From today perspective, it was very rich decade with big bands, boys bands, rock, rap, pop, euro dance, techno
The 90s is when rock became oldies.
Do yourself a favor and listen the the very first song on the list: Phil Collins "Another Day in Paradise" And been loving these "throughbacks" you've been doing very fun.
I think this should be labeled most popular according to pop radio in the 90's
Get that chair out of the way and let's see those MOVES!!😀💃
❤❤
MC Hammer used Rick James' bassline from "Super Freak." And "Vanilla Ice" stole the Bassline from Queen's ( with Bowie ) "Under Pressure" - he got sued and Queen won.
The macarena...identified the exact moment 90s music started sucking. No wonder high school me went to the ska and reggae scene
Hey sweetpea. Your videos are entertaining. I love how you drop your H's when you talk. Good vids. Keep it up.
11:30 Thanks I didn't know that. The original is really cool! By the way, no Dr. Alban in this list. It's my Life is one of the most iconic songs from the 90s for me. Do you know it?
Verdy, you might really enjoy earlier Santana as the band started in San Francisco in the late 60s with a much harder sound than Smooth.
I'm a child of the 70s, but ultimately I like the 90s the best, and most of my collection is from the 90s. As with the other ones, at the beginning, the previous decade hadn't actually ended yet.
* I take that back. Based on this video, the 90s I experienced didn't actually happen. There were about three songs in there that belonged to my 90s.
Mariah Carey was massive in the 90s but I never knew and still wouldn’t recognise any of her songs
Surprised there wasn't more Nirvana...the GRUNGE rock that came out of the West Coast swept threw the country in the early 90's
I suspect that the channel is from the UK, and these were the top hits in the UK.
@@visaman These are No1 singles. Grunge and alternative rock band albums were topping the album sales charts but the singles didn't really do so even in the US.
@@SadPeterPan1977 Tangent, no-talent "Vanilla Ice" was on the list ( using John Deacon's bassline ), that speaks volumes about what can be a top seller.
Agreed. This seemed like the top pop 90's songs. If you want to listen to the good 90's music you gotta check out songs from bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.
Here we go
I really love your reactions. Please do the new "LOVEBITES" songs. Please, Please, Please!!!!!!!
90' is full of movie musics.
The 90s was full of club/dance hits
Oh, how many children were conceived under Enigma Sadeness :))))))
Another solid review, Verdy! To me, this decade's "Most Popular" list as a whole is noticeably less iconic than the '70s and '80s ones had been and somehow, with some exceptions, it all became less memorable and more bland as it went on. But then I'm a teen of the '80s so maybe I'm biased... 😊
You're not biased. As each year went on, the songs started sounding more and more alike, and more and more cookie cutter. Also there were fewer artists dominating more time.
These were also the big hit singles at the time. There was amazing music being made during those years, but the most “popular” stuff was homogenous and boring.
It's interesting. I'm an oldie who was born in the mid 60s, okay, and it seemed to me that, after about 1994 in this video, I started enjoying the songs less and less and recognised fewer of them. I was also shocked by how much Mariah Carey seemed to dominate the early to mid nineties.
Another mid 60s baby here. In any other decade which Verdy has covered, there are NO months with crap songs. There were quite a few starting around when you mentioned (May/June '94). Still some bangers, but far too many "meh".
Music overall was still pretty decent until 1998, when Cher opened the Autotune floodgates with "Believe".
There has been a gradual but relentless downhill slide in talent and quality since then.
There's definitely a noticeable shift by the mid 90s
Me too, They stopped making 7 inch singles about then 😮 maybe that could have something to do with it
@@MrVvulf Born in the 80s. There is a definitive and very noticeable drop in quality by the mid 90s. That was also my opinion as a teenager at the time.
Agree, by ‘96 here I was losing interest, first time that’s happened in any of her decade videos.
You know Shania is also Canadian.
Although Pentatonix is notoriously hard to react to, many seem to be able to react to the dance songs on the 90s mashup. It's amazing. A great listen.
Better songs in the 80's .Smooth was the best in the 90's that I seen in the videos
Oof. Ok. Your homework tonight is to watch Titanic from beginning to end. You could even stream it from beginning to end.
I have never seen any other site so far end up having to mute the Backstreet Boys "I Want it That Way", so that kind of confused me.
Every loser at my junior high had a compulsion to say 🎵one time🎶 all day everyday randomly
Alot of disposable crap topped the pop charts..... IMHO
I appreciate your appreciation
The Titanic struck the iceberg about one hour and 111 years ago tonight. The sinking will be 111 years ago in about 3 hours.
