I didn't get any of them right except for Hanson. And I definitely remember because we had to do a poem in English. The others except for one or so familiar, but I didn't remember either the name or the artist.

And why didn't they have the Spice Girls, *NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys, 98°, Eiffel 65, Aqua and so many other good ones?

I got 5 artist and songs right

I feel incredibly old

What year did girls allowed start getting popular? They didn't get attention in the US, and I only heard them when I was in the UK visiting.

I love them though!

I think the underground one Christmas number one and 2000 or 1999 didn't it?

I was still a fairly young child in the 90s and I got 5 of them right Grin

SuperPissed · 24/05/2017 01:48

And Sound of the Underground (assuming that's the one you mean) came out in 2002

pincha · 24/05/2017 01:56

I got 4, I think I'd do better on a more UK centred one though. I didn't know the Mandy Moore one at all, and I think I only recognised the magic mike one from the film.

How did the girl at the end know who Hansen were but not the song?

hellokittymania · 24/05/2017 02:07

I don't know! Hanson were so popular!

Super, thanks.

Do either of you remember the Vengaboys? The boom boom boom boom, I want you in my room song? We like to party was the first one that came out and it was more popular , but for some reason in Vietnam the I want you in my room song is popular.

Shock How do so many of them not know Mmm Bop?! Shock

Also the Venga Boys were awesome Grin

I was a child in the 90s and knew most of those.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 24/05/2017 02:31

I knew all of the songs and artists apart from I couldn't place the artist of Pony. I feel so old. Angry
Their reactions to MmmBop were priceless.
I think it was quite an American based selection. No 911, East17, Gabrielle, Brit Pop, Take That, Eternal etc.

hellokittymania · 24/05/2017 02:34

OMG! Memories ....!! Grin

I haven't heard that song in ages

Keira what was a hit from East 17? I don't remember them. Or 911. Are used to love Gabrielle.

I just looked up on YouTube, I don't think stay alive ever came to the US. :( is there a more popular song than that?

OP posts:
KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 24/05/2017 02:43

How do you not remember Stay Another Day from East17? Shock

hellokittymania · 24/05/2017 02:48

I don't know! I'm scrolling through the now 90s list on YouTube and checking if there's anything else that I missed.

OP posts:
hellokittymania · 24/05/2017 02:51

I just found the fairground song! Having déjà vu. They never play that in the US either. I remember the Knicks they did it with gypsy Kings

I knew three both artist and song (Waterfalls, Mmm bop and Bittersweet Symphony) and one where I knew the song but forgot the band (All the Small Things).

I did not know that the Verve didn't earn royalties for Bittersweet Symphony any more so off to google it and selfish band managers!

I'm a 90s chic so I think I'd have done better on a UK centered version. Smile

Didn't get Alice in Chains or Ginuiwine but everything else I got right.
