Love Takes Time by Mariah CareyLove Takes Time by Mariah CareyMost No. 1s By Artist (1990-1999) The 1990’s had many great songs, which made it so hard to pick Grammy winners and Billboard toppers, but yes somehow they did it.  Mariah Carey was one of the biggest and most popular female singers in the 90’s. Her songs topped the Billboards Top 100 not one, not two, but 14 times! This is the largest number of times one singer had been on the top in the 1990’s. Her first number one hit, in the 1990’s, was her song “Vision of Love”, which hit number one at the very turn of the decade. She was the first artist to top the Billboard each year of the 1990’s; she spent the most weeks up there also. And her first music video to hit number one was “Love Takes Time”, also in 1990. She earned Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Vocalist, and this was only in 1991, and she certainly did not stop there! Next up came Janet Jackson, even though she didn’t even get half as many songs to hit number one, she was still one of the major influences on 90’s music and earned many awards along the way. She got six of her songs to top the Billboard charts starting with “Escapade” in 1990. She had also topped the pop Top Ten many times during her 90’s decade career, and revamped her image several times. Even though these two artists appealed to many young music listeners Celine Dion took the other half by storm! She had filled the ears of the adult part of the nation while topping the Billboard four times beginning with her song “The Power of Love” in 1994. Her first big hit, a duet of “Beauty and the Beast”, won her Grammy and Academy Awards. This woman was certainly not afraid to move in fast forward! From the years 1992 to 1996 she had recorded 6 brand new albums! She had scored the chance to sing “My Heart Will Go On” in the hit movie Titanic. She and Mariah even made an appearance together in VH1’s Divas Live special. These ladies made a huge influence to the music industry and every person that had anything dealing with it too. All of their careers started in the 1980’s, went huge in the 1990’s, and have not stopped since, so they obviously are a big deal to this decade!

Music Played in the 1990\'s Popular Music From the 90s

All throughout the 1990’s decade people were interested in the techno and the hip hop sound of music. But the popular sound did change all throughout the 1990’s a couple of times. In the early 90’s rock started becoming the new hit, even though the hip hop was still an all around favorite, and would continue to be. Pearl Jam, a new rock bad, introduced teen kids to catchy lyrics about the events going on in not only the bands life, but normal teenage kids also. From the early to the mid-1990’s grudge and alternative rock was listened to by teenagers. Many of the music from the early 1990’s were directed towards teens and young adults. Soon the nation was getting sick of the “young” music and wanted something different to listen too, something more up-to-date. Bands made new music and a more cheerful rock instead of the depressing era of rock they had just listened to. The lyrics displayed a more positive side of emotions instead of the sadness the years of music had brought before. Soon the late 1990’s came around the corner and had given the world a new type of music, the Bubblegum Pop era of music. This era contained the explosion of young bands and singers. Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, and many more caught the eyes, and ears, of the nation. This music had everybody singing and on their feet. It was an appeal to many age groups, from elementary school kids to even young adults. Many of the genres from the 1990’s are still listened to today, and many of the bands are still an impact on our society. I don’t think anybody will forget the genres of the 1990’s, especially the huge Bubblegum Pop era!

The 1990’s were filled with great bands, great songs, and great concerts. Although some of the best songs will be remembered, the bands will not. Many of the great songs like Baby Got Back, I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), and Blue (Da Ba Dee) were all huge hits, but the bands were not. These songs are known as One Hit Wonders. Nearly all of the 1990’s bands were One Hit Wonders. Some of the top rated one hit wonders included bands like LEN, Savage Garden, Semisonic, Chumbawamba, and OMC. These were all bands that had a one hit wonder.
