Now That's What I Call The 90s

Product Information

Although later hits would more dramatically demonstrate the vocal acrobatics of the group's lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, "Linger" has an almost ethereal beauty that does indeed remain long after the song ends. It was the chart debut of one of the most striking voices of the mid-1990s. To mark National Album Day, Steve Wright reveals the top 40 most-streamed albums released in the UK in the 1990s. Like the deserts miss the rain..." Remixed in countless ways over the years, there has never been a more powerful expression of emotional and sexual longing in pop music than that at the core of "Missing." In a year marked by wistfulness and longing in pop songs, this is the peak.

Stereo MCs became one of the most successful of the British hip-hop acts. "Connected" is propelled by a catchy but downbeat atmospheric brand of hip-hop.

The theme this year is 90s albums. Radio 2 is celebrating with music and tailored content across the day to reflect the decade. The 1990s were a relatively peaceful time of prosperity. For most of the 1990s, Bill Clinton was president, the first baby boomer to live in the White House as the commander-in-chief. The Berlin Wall, the prime symbol of the Cold War, fell in November 1989, and Germany was reunited in 1990 after 45 years of separation. The Cold War officially ended with the fall of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991, and it seemed as if a new era had dawned. Channel specialised in horror films and series. Cult, Hollywood, comedy, B movie classics, modern thrillers. Schedule By the time the '90s headed toa close, it had been eight years since Whitney Houston had put out a studio album. Music industry legend Clive Davis convinced her to record a new set of songs, and the resulting album, "My Love Is Your Love," includes some of her best work. "It's Not Right, But It's Okay" is a hard-hitting anthem for women on the way out of relationships that sounds great on the radio and on the dance floor. Absolute Radio 90s is a DAB station that belongs to the Absolute Radio network. It plays music from the 1990s, such as those from Blur, Oasis, Nirvana, Primal Scream, The Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, Portishead, Guns N' Roses and The Stone Roses among others.

Heart 90s is a national digital radio station that broadcasts nationally on Digital One DAB from studios at Leicester Square in London. Just like its sister stations Heart and Heart Extra, it is also owned and operated by Global. With the words "This ain't no disco. It ain't no country club either. This is L.A.," the world was introduced to the neo-folkie, irresistible pop of Sheryl Crow. "All I Wanna Do" unfolds like a mini-movie thanks to Crow's artful vocals, whose lyrics paint a luminous picture of the adventures of Sheryl and "Billy""until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard." Jamaican-born Orville Burrell had a huge hit with "Boombastic," one of the first dancehall—a sub-genre of reggae—songs to break through to the American pop charts. Shaggy, who took his stage name from a "Scooby Doo" character, exhibits oodles of personal charm alongside the funky grooves.In a dance-happy pop environment, this trio swept in with a classic that still sounds half-retro, half-contemporary, and completely groovy. "Groove Is in the Heart" effortlessly glides across genres from hip-hop to house and funk. Guest musicians—including Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, and A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip—boost the party atmosphere. This was the song of summer 1990. The brothers Gallagher—Liam and Noel—and their band, Oasis, helped usher in a new period of glory for British guitar pop, at least in the U.K. This is one of their few breakthrough American hits. It is gorgeous and irresistibly prods you into singing along. This No. 1 hit was the world's first introduction to the voice of Mariah Carey. Echoes of Whitney Houston's influence are evident, but the sheer power and swooping highs are all Mariah's own. This debut still ranks as one of her very best recordings. R.E.M.'s album "Automatic for the People" is one of the top artistic achievements of '90s pop music, and "Man on the Moon" is one of the most memorable and beautiful songs from that album. It is both a moving tribute to comedian Andy Kaufman and a thoughtful meditation on the power of popular culture. EMF rode the British invasion wave that broke on U.S. shores in the wake of the popularity of the Manchester dance scene. "Unbelievable" mixed intoxicating rhythms, sweet high vocals from lead singer James Atkin, and rousing shouts to storm to the top of the pop charts.
