OH MY GOD ANOTHER LIST: The Hottest Hit Song of the 90s

The hottest hit of the 90s….

Isn’t any of these. You’ll have to wait until the weekend for that. But in the meantime, here’s my picks for the 22 worst hit singles of the 90s. The ones that make my skin crawl now, and made my skin crawl even more then, when I actually had to hear them every day. Insincere, evil piles of rancid ass in audio form, from many of the usual suspects as well as some people that came around just to shit on your ears once before dropping into obscurity. A couple are even from normally not-awful bands who also put out some songs on the top 101. Some are forgotten, and some live on, thanks to completely dreadful adult contemporary playlists, so you never know when they’re going to strike, tormenting you while you’re at the drugstore or the dentist’s office.

[nb: I had to shut my speakers off just while I looked for the video clips. So click with caution, if you insist.]
