Various Artists - 90's Pop Hits (Box) / Various (CD)

All Music Guide

Though the songs on 90s Pop Hits definitely span the entire decade (Mandy Moore's 1999 track "Candy" is followed by Big Audio Dynamite II's "Rush," from 1991, for example), much of what is on the threedisc, fortysong compilation is taken from the dance/RB realm of the early '90s. Lisa Lisa Cult Jam, Clivillés Cole, M People, Xscape, and Sunscreem are all included, but so are rock (though no grunge) bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket, Sponge, the Primitive Radio Gods, Dog's Eye View, and the Spin Doctors. Trying to cover ten years in a few dozen songs is no easy task, and there are certainly a lot of tracks missing on 90s Pop Hits, but for those who are especially fond of the decade's popdance charttoppers, this compilation will be satisfying.
