mariah debuted in 1990 and was queen of the charts all throughout 🤍✨

Mariah is the Queen of this decade , even Billboard gifted “artist of the decade” in 2000 👸🏼

The 90's were a weird time. It saw a huge surge in country music, and the backlash against "Gangsta Rap" actually helped propel Rap and Hip Hop into the mainstream. You never knew where music was going to take you. One minute I'm traveling with some highschool friends hitting every grunge and alternative concert we can, and the next minute we meet some girls and end up at Lilith Fair.

Lol you've been doing Madonna absolutely dirty in these reaction vids 🤣😂

Having been alive during all of those Madonna hits, it is pretty amazing to me that you didn't even know one. It's like if you're below a certain age, Madonna is just known as a persona.

Thurston, Aerosmith was formed in 1970. They were popular in the 70's, before the in fighting started. The Run DMC collaboration in '86 helped bring them back. You need to do a deep dive on their music.

As a 90's kid. Watching you react to this was some one of the most random entertaining videos I've seen in a while. Getting old!

Madonna ruled the airwaves for a solid two decades

I was born in 1991, started remembering songs from about 1996 onwards. I remember a lot of boring stuff getting popular too, like in every decade, but a lot of these songs are still gems with lasting relevance. And I do agree, the 90s was the most diverse music decade with all the genres having a shot at getting popular.

I get "Return of the Mack" stuck in my head when I reheat the kid's macaroni & cheese. Annoys the hell out of my wife. Genres usually don't shift cleanly when the decade flips. That's why you see a lot of late 80s in the early 90s, as you did disco in the early 80s. Also may be why you didn't start recognizing a lot of songs until the mid 90s entries hit.

Britney baby one more time was a new era in music, where teen pop gained prominence, broke barriers in a market that only involved boybands and girlbands, Britney Spears' success made women stand out again, which is why after the britney, jlo, xtina,pink,avril,beyonce,jessica simpson and other female artists got their chance in the industry.

Aerosmith's first hit was _Dream On_ in 1973, which is an absolutely amazing song. 28 of their songs have hit the top 40 charts running all the way into the 2010's. They've been doing this for a while.

Shrek being single handedly responsible for Gen Z knowing any song over 30 years old 😝

I was born in 1988 and I knew 100% of these songs. Such a banging decade.

I think you need to do a whole series of Madonna songs. She has so many great ones!

As a teenager in the late 90s I loved this set.

"I Will Always Love You", written by Dolly Parton, was a number one hit in three decades in a row. The 1970s when Dolly took it to number one. The 1980s when she released it for the soundtrack of "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas". Finally in the 1990s when Whitney Huston took it to number one. It is one of the three songs chosen to celebrate country music for the 50th anniversary of the CMT awards, in the video, Forever Country: Artists of Then, Now, and Forever.

This video took me through a whirlwind of memories. I'll have to check out your other videos of the 70s and 80s songs.

Candle In The Wind was HUGE here in the US. Americans hearts broke at the news of Princess Diana's death. She had the heart and soul of an ANGEL. It's still hard to believe she died 25 and a half years ago. Continue to rest in peace, sweet Princess.

Sinead actually went on Saturday night live and blasted the Catholic Church live on air. She blew the lid off the Irish Catholic Church abusing kids way earlier than the Roman Catholic Church sex scandal. She was completely criticized for pulling the stunt but after investigations did find that abuse was happening and basically she isn’t really allowed on tv much but she still does her own protests on stage in her own way while the church is still constantly looked at with suspicion while a few priests were excommunicated and sent to prison.

Ahhh I loved the music in the 90’s!! Mariah Carey dominated! Times were great lol

I was fortunate to be a kid in the 80’s and teen in the 90’s. I was blessed to grow up with this music. It all started to go down hill after the mid 2000’s

you should go back and do the one's for the 50s and 60s!!!

When it comes to the greats, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and even Elvis. NOBODY had more #1 hits than Mariah Carey, and no other other artist had a #1 hit in every decade since their debut.

Thank you for this nostalgic trip down memory lane! I am an 80s-90s kid (born in 1981) and most of the songs previewed from the late 50s onward are familiar via the adults in my life who listened to music or the oldies station at the time in my hometown. This has been so much fun re-experiencing all these great songs and seeing you experience them for the first time. Oh yeah, the music that sounds Trance-like is called House music. I recall being very enamored with it when I was a kid. Hope this helps. Thanks for the fantastic videos. 🤓

Thank you for doing all of these, hope you do 2000 next, am really enjoying all of these.

Ricky Martin joined the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo when he was 12, and was performing to stadiums of 100,000+ screaming girls

"I don't even know who TLC are"... childhood me just cried.

Kid in the 80s teen in the 90s....best music ever!! I was a grunge teen!!! I love when you do these!!

Oooh music reaction! Those are fun! I enjoy watching people react to music and films. Love the 90s and 00s. Being an early 90s kids, I grew up with both. But I’ve also listened to a lot of 80s too.

Does make sense alot of songs you do recognize from the 90s are techno/club/EDM....etc. They were really big in the 90s and 2000s in Europe.

Me who knows 99% of this list, i was lucky to grow up in the 90s (1990-1999, I was 10 through 20). I will always consider 90s music the golden age of music, I also live in Canada so we had unparallel access to all music from UK and US - MuchMusic (Toronto).

Now I want to make a play list of all these. 😄 Trip down memory lane.

You absolutely must see the videos by Al Yankovic

The Cranberries and No Doubt are the two first CDs I ever bought with my own money, Aqua and Venga Boys the Celine Dion. Ahhh the memories.

Ricky Martin started off as a child singer in a group called Menudo later he acted in a daytime soap opera called General Hospital and relaunched his music career as a solo artist he had huge hits within the Latin music scene then broke into the American scene where he had a few hit songs great performer live!

I thought there'd be a lot more grunge and heavy metal. Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Alice In Chains, Metallica....that was all the stuff my friends and I were listening to at the time.

Here for Thurston singing along

I noticed in your video "Most popular songs of the 80's" you mention that you thought "I will always love you" Whitney Houston was in the 80's, that song was actually written and performed by Dolly Parton in 1974, Whitney Houston did a cover of it in the 90's. I love both versions

i love that at least once in every video about music we hear "this song is from Shrek, right?" 😂

I grew up in the 90's and I don't even recognize a good chunk of the early 90's songs.

Knew every single one. This is my era/ teen years. Still like it the best! Btw: all i want for xmas came out in 94. And yes, that's techno/ dance music

mariah carey has 1 number 1 hit in every year of 90s

It is sad to see how far Madonna has let herself go. But it's always nice to go back to the 80's - 2000's and just remember her for only that.

I'd point out often we tend to know music more from before we were born because we grow up hearing it from our parents, other relatives or other older folks. Or we hear it on the radio. Thus 90s was probably not your era as much as the 2000s likely. I'm from 1981, so I know more from the 80s and before then I do the 90s or even the 2000s.

Several of these songs were popularized because they were connected to heavily marketed movies. (Remember, this was before streaming). They got huge budgets for songwriting, music videos, and licensing to use movie clips. Can’t think of too many songs on the charts today which were specifically written for movies/television.

The 90s were a phenomenal time for music.

grewing up in the 1990's we had different genres which is awesome. from other 90's song playlist you'll know 80 percent of them.

I would to see you react to the 00s video and the older music eras. A lot of the ones you have heard and can't recall where you know them from were probably made into covers by other bands or a lot of them are played in places like grocery stores where you subconsciously retain them.

Also, if you haven't checked out Boyz II Men, please treat yourself to their music. Such a great artist.

I hope you react to Weird Al Yankovic! Some of his MJ paradies are gold!

Aerosmith has been around since 1970 to present. Steve Tyler is the lead singer of Aerosmith and is 75 years old.

I was in my element throughout these years. The first lollapaloosa in La. Underground rave scene. Some great industrial and goth scenes around. There was just an explosion of music through that decade. It was legendary.

90s to early 2000s I also like the 80s though rock music wise

I mean, I won't judge and everyone has heard different artists and songs in their lives. Also it was fun to watch your reaction. :) But I also gotta say.. on SOME of these I was actually a little bit shocked, that your ears haven't got in contact with them anywhere at least once. 😂 (things like 7:28 , 7:34 , 8:34 (!!) , 8:51 , 11:12 , 11:36 , 15:42 (!) , 18:28 ) So yeah, seems like you really just got to know the thin surface level of 90s so far. And now you have a lot of stuff to discover from this era! That being said, have fun! 😃

The 90s were the “Wild West” of music. New genres would pop up every month. Side note: Aerosmith spanned from the 1970s to the 2000s. Maybe later.

Im glad the “this is from shrek” has now been in all 3 videos lol

Wow I actually knew more 70s and 80s songs than 90s

Earliest song I can remember on the radio was “Lullaby” by Shawn Mullins, from about 1997

Have a been living under a rock to not know any Madonna songs? She's an icon. My 11 year old niece knows alot of her songs from the 80s

Xennial here. It was a hell of a time for music!

Just when you paused it before the last one I was thinking "damn, amazed Santana wasn't on this at all."

Oh wow, seeing you not recognize Bryan Adam's "Everything I do (I do it for you)" hurt my heart a bit. Highly recommend checking that song. If i remember correctly it was number one for quite awhile. Even if it wasn't, it was really a standout song of that year.

I bet you know more of the Madonna songs than you think. If you don't know them real well, it's hard to recognize them from the short clip. Ohh...and the last song is a banger. Sultry, sexy, 🔥.

Europop is the genre you're looking for (What is Love, Mr Vain, Rhythm of the Night) ;)

You should check out the “top ten of the year” videos from the channel “Professor of Rock” it goes into a bit more of each song and then shows how popular they are now compared to when they were new. Some of them are forgotten, some of them stay massively popular.

These songs took me back to my teen years!

You likely won’t know much from the 40s or 30s. I’ve listened to some of it and it’s really just big bands and groups of 5 or more. Very few individuals made it. The 20s were a time of classic American songs and the birth of jazz.

1993 was such a wild year. That was the year I started paying attention to modern music so every song from that year is like a little hit of nostalgia for me. Although watching more of the video I'm wondering where all the grunge bands are. No Pearl Jam? Smashing Pumpkins? Soundgarden? Grunge was huge in the 90s and so it's very strange to get through the whole decade with only Nirvana.

My favorite decade for sure, so much diversity in this era. i was blessed to be a kid in the 90's

I'm 50...but grew up with 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s music...then was introduced to the 90s when my kid said I needed more UPDATED music...😂 I enjoy all of those era's... Aerosmith u could do a whole playlist with their music.

I'm a 1972 model so I was pretty close to Thurston's age when the 90s came in....and I was really into popular music (especially dance music) and charts, as a result, I know every one of these hits!!!

Thurston - Phil Collins came from the band Genesis

This is technically "my" era, but it was frustrating. Pop was getting safer and dumber, but I loved a kind of music that was getting even more intense and real despite quickly burning itself out of the charts. There's only one song on this list that was ever on mine.

Yes your correct Aerosmith started in 1970s exploded in 1980s and continued into the 1990s. Only issue I have is a couple of the late Michael Jackson songs in here weren't that big. This list is a little better missing a lot of grunge no Pearl Jam?. Otherwise a good list overall.

That En Vogue song was my JAM.

Aerosmith from the '70s. I know it's not very common these days with newer artists lasting decades and decades, but Aerosmith made hit songs from the '70s onwards

For me the definition of the 90s started with Nirvana, the grunge! The first years were still quite 80s, musically...well, maybe the classic Madonna's Vogue brought a taste of House music to the mainstream, style that after would be very popular

Phil Collins.... In the Air Tonight. The drum solo is... epic and incredibly well known. There's a live version on his official channel that lots of reactors have done. Might want to save it for patreon though.

Here for the Mariah reactions. Enjoyed your video :)

omg I never knew R Kelly sang I believe I can fly, I feel traumatised.

I was born in 1991 so i actually know alot of these songs or atleast heard them from my family having 2 brothers older than myself.... But i basically knew almost everything after 1996

I grew up with 60's, 70's music when I was a kid in the 70's. I was 10 years old in 1979. From 1980 to 1988 I was a Teenager. I turned 20 years old in 1989. 1990's I was in my 20's and grew up with that music as well. I turned 30 years old in 1999. From 2000 to 2008 I was in my 30's the music started to really change then. In 2009 I was 40 years old. From 2010 to 2018 I was in my 40's . I turned 50 in 2019. I am now in my 50's from 2020-2028.

Aerosmith have been around since the 1970's. Walk this Way was their first huge hit and it was released in 1975. They had a major resurgence in the late 90s....

Yeah that last one is an absolute banger

if you wanna listen to some aerosmith, you should hit "dream on" first!

the 90s is such a legendary era in music history 🔥 I love how diverse it was in the mainstream

For the most part, 50s was rockabilly; 60s was rock, 70s was disco; 80s was new wave, rap, glam rock, heavy metal; 90s were grunge alternative & club music. And hip hop throughout since the 80s.

The last great decade of music, even though it had its fair share of crap especially toward the end.

Remember these lists are most popular in the USA (Center of the universe😂) A British/English video of most popular songs each month in the 90s would be much much more BRITPOP/BRITROCK

If you watched Disney's Tarzan then you have hear Phil Collins because they hired him to do the music and he even hired a vary popular boy band to sing one of his songs.

Since you watched the 80s and 90s videos and still don’t know Madonna songs, I doubt the 2000s will help you. I stopped listening to her in 2004 after collecting her albums for years. If 80s and 90s Madonna don’t do it for you, please don’t go further. The “American Life” album is when I gave up. I loved her “Something to Remember compilation album and felt like it was a woman growing into her age and singing soulful music”. She’s nearly twice my age and I can’t even listen anymore. Trends come and go but well written and produced music will stand the test of time. I love her music before 2004, but after that something changed. If you do want to check her out for reactions, early-mid 90s is peak Madonna for me.

In the 80's pop and rock sounded pretty much the same because both genres used the same instruments, the same drums, guitars, keyboards, etc. But in the 90's music became incredibly diverse and there was an explosion of genres and sub-genres, and every genre had a unique sound and they all sounded different. So you had funk, pop, rock, grunge, R&B, country, hip hop, dance, techno, punk, alternative, metal, house, urban, etc etc etc, and they all sounded completely different from each other. The 90's were really the years of musical diversity. Then in the 2000's genres started to sound similar again, and now everything sounds the same.

I’m telling my age…but I literally knew every single word of every single song. Damn I’m old. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ lol

We went through the era of Metallica without a single song in the list. Man society really sucks with music choice
