What a way to kick off the brand-new 90s Vibes Countdown! Our very first show was packed with energy, nostalgia, and of course the music that defined the start of a new decade. Together, we counted down Billboard’s Top 20 songs of 1990, reliving the moments that made these tracks unforgettable.
From Wilson Phillips’ uplifting anthem “Hold On” to Sinéad O’Connor’s haunting “Nothing Compares 2 U”, and the groove of Bell Biv DeVoe’s “Poison”, the countdown delivered hit after hit. We even revisited classics like Madonna’s “Vogue”, Mariah Carey’s debut smash “Vision of Love”, and Phil Collins’ “Another Day in Paradise.”
Listeners especially loved hearing the stories behind the songs—like how Billy Idol filmed “Cradle of Love” seated after a motorcycle accident, or who was the first reggae artist was with a U.S. #1 single. Every track had its own story, and together they painted a perfect picture of 1990.
