Now That's What I Call The 90s

Product Information

Most pop fans thought Tracy Chapman would be relegated to the annals of one-hit-wonderdom based on the success of "Fast Car" from her first album. Then she reappeared with this deeply bluesy crowd pleaser, proving that there is still room for innovation and surprise within the genre. 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. For many, the mileage varied on the Barenaked Ladies' breakthrough hit. Its pure kinetic energy certainly invigorated pop radio playlists, debuting at No. 3 before eventually spending, appropriately enough, one week at No. 1. Although a little of its cheeky, self-indulgent humor can go a long way, few songs epitomize 90s pop like "One Week."

Joanna Lumley and her husband Stephen Barlow invite you into their home for a fascinating, funny journey into their shared love of music. Will Smith's first solo effort resulted in this catchy and cool single. His brand of clean, good-humored, party hip-hop caught on instantly. Like Mark Wahlberg, he went on to enjoy way more success as an actor, but this remains one of the more charming pop musical relics of the 1990s. Jay-Z consolidated his status as the best of the East Coast rappers with this brilliant single that transforms a show-stopping number from the Broadway musical "Annie" into a gripping hip-hop opus. It was proof of just how far hip-hop artists could push the boundaries of the genre.Arrested Development finished their banner year by being awarded the Grammy for Best New Artist of 1992. The spiritual quest detailed in "Tennessee" was a big part of the band's success. The uplifting, intelligent lyrics and positive tone seemed to herald a new direction for rap, but it turns out that the gangsta takeover, just a year away, would win out. 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. With the occasional special guest, join the pair as they discover what it really takes to stay relevant in the public eye today.
