Australian #1 Singles from the 90s
Itās been 2ish years and 15 days since weĀ took the time toĀ release a 90 Percent HitsĀ podcast, but weāre back, for a special episode,Ā to pickĀ outĀ our favourite tunes by Prince. After all, Prince is most associated with the 1980s, but for anyone around in the early 1990s, he was as big as heād ever been. Back when we were a regular podcast covering the #1 singles of the 1990s, we discussedĀ āCreamā by Prince and āThe Most Beautiful Girl In The RoomWorldā by Prince Symbol The Artist ForĀ Squiggly, along with Prince-written songs like Sinead OāConnorās āNothing Compares 2 Uā and Martikaās āLoveā¦Thy Will Be Doneā. To love pop music in the early 1990s is to have been exposed to Prince Rogers Nelson.
So (sadly) this is a commemoration of the life of our dearly beloved Squiggly (as he was known for much of the 1990s).
Episode ā¦40ish: 90 Percent Prince!
In terms of what songs we each pickedā¦well, youāll just have to listen, wonāt you?
In this āfinal episodeā of 90 Percent Hits, we look back on the experience of having to discuss these #1s. We ended up covering over a hundred of the things, all up, and we wondered what, if anything, we learned in the process (we make jokes, too).
But donāt worry, weāre not done. Itās not reallyĀ finalĀ final. This is more John Farnham announcing his ālastā tour final. Plans are afoot to cover other aspects of the musical 1990s in the usual us-talking-on-a-podcast form. After all, the #1 singles are just one way of looking at whatās going onā¦so stay tuned!
In this āChoose Your Own Adventureā episode, we each pick one song that was amongst the top 100 best selling singles of 1998!
