The Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 Hits of the1990sThe '90s was a decade for world-conquering ballads. Show
In honor of Billboard magazines 120th anniversary on Nov. 1, were revealing the top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hits from each decade since the 1960s (for a total of 120 songs). The 90s were full of world-conquering ballads, the stuff of future American Idol performances: Toni Braxtons Unbreak My Heart, Whitney Houstons I Will Always Love You, Sinead OConnors Nothing Compares 2 U. Not surprisingly, in a world where ballads of epic proportion were king, Boyz II Men had a major presence on the Hot 100. They decade-end top 20 twice on their own, and once with assistance from Mariah Carey. The Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 Hits of the 1960s The 90s were notable for several other reasons. Nine of the 20 biggest 90s hits came from women more than in the 60s, 70s, or 80s. For the first time in three decades, Paul McCartney did not make it on to the list. And disco did not make an appearance in the top 20 either, though dance-leaning tracks like Macarena and Whoomp! (There It Is) enjoyed popularity, ranking Nos. 2 and 15, respectively for the 90s. The Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 Hits of the 1970s After managing to squeeze just one track onto the top 20 in the 60s and one in the 80s, country got a pair in the 90s one of which, LeAnn Rimess How Do I Live, is the biggest of the decade. (Despite it stopping at No. 2 on the weekly Hot 100, it reigns for the 90s thanks to its longevity: it logged a hefty 69 weeks on the chart.) While country earned increased representation, raps prominence was not yet reflected on the charts upper echelon. Coolio was the only rapper to make it.
