My resume right now, The Brady One More Time Podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You can you can now win an award for that
as well. Award winning, award winning podcast. Here it's Dastardly
Dan Ginsburg. Welcome. Ninety nine is where we're going back
to Today. We do nineties and two thousands deep dives,
different topics, pop culture, movies, TV. We did Michael Jordan
last week, which is a lot of fun. But today
it's about the music of nineteen ninety nine. And I
(02:13):
picked this year because I thought, what a transitional year,
not just because of ninety ninety nine we're going into
a new millennium, but because now we're starting to get
away from the grunge rock era of the nineties. We're
really heavy into the pop stuff. Yeah, but also like
all these different crazy genres were popping up too, and
we're going to see that because we're going to go
(02:34):
over the top ten singles from Billboard of nineteen ninety nine.
I love it. So let's start off here. What kind
of music when you think of the year nineteen ninety nine,
which you were probably I was seventeen, okay, seventeen years old,
what do you think? What genre style?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think two things.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I think female teenage pop stars and I think boy bands.
I feel like that was the maybe the boy bands
came a little bit started a lot little bit before that,
but like that was when both.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Of those blew up.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, the Brittaney's, the Christina's, the Backstreets and the insincts exactly. Yeah,
that was really huge for me as I was a
little bit older. Yeah, like I liked that stuff. It
was a guilty pleasure. Sure, I'm a little bit older,
but like I was really drawn into a lot of
like the rock stuff, which was it was. It was
still alternative, but it was kind of getting a little
(03:23):
more heavy, a little less like whiny.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I think the Red Chili Peppers had a big comeback
year in ninety nine, which I was obsessed with.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I think that, I think the pop. I think there
was this this cool new kind of Latin infuse sound
that was that was getting pretty big at the time,
which you can probably now look back at as being
an influence on like the Bad Buddies. It's everywhere, yeah, yeah,
and a little bit of everything. And that's that's what this.
This year to me was so without any for I
(03:51):
think we're just gonna go should we just go over
the song? So ten to one, let's start number ten.
First of all, were there any songs, because you have
the list right where any of these day songs surprise
you that made the top ten of the year. I
wouldn't say which.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
One any of them surprised me. I would say I
forgot about a couple of them.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Same.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
But when I saw the list, I was like, no,
that makes sense. It was massive because.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What's funny is like with the Billboard chart, right, like,
you get the top ten songs that were big that year,
that necessarily mean they're gonna end up being the ten
biggest songs like long Term.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Right, bill Timeless.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Back then, a huge percentage of this was sales of
the of the albums and the singles like physical CD.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Sales CD singles because we were we were not yet
buying things on iTunes that did that wasn't invented yet.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So yeah, that was a big part. And I think
that and then radio airplay obviously but not as big,
but not as big as the sales planer.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Had it been, they would have it would have I
think we would have had more timeless songs as opposed
to well, let's get into it number ten. Back to
the Latin.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, I mean this was probably it kickstarted it, and
it's probably the biggest one of all time. I mean,
we hadn't looked at this list and we had said
to each other, name the song that started that movement
or the first song you remember at the forefront of
that movement.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm sure we both would have said that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Live in La Vida Loca, I remember the video.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I remember him. He was doing his dance. He's really
like a sexy man, and all the ladies loved him,
and that lady didn't know he was gay.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
At the time.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
No, he is.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Ricky Martin, Yeah, isn't he. I'm just kidding you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He made me question, I swear, thinking, please tell me
I'm not facing him with someone else.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Did ladies not really know or did they pretend that?
I don't think they knew.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And I feel like there's a lot of a lot
of like male sex symbols, like dance and have that
little bit of flamboyance.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
They're not all gay. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I love that song though, I mean that's a timeless Yeah,
they're right, did kick off and he had he had
really cool hair. I remember that being a thing, and
that song was everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That was one of those songs you listen to that
in Spanish class.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
That's how big it was.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Our Spanish teacher helped us learn Spanish by having us
listen to that song.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
That's incredible. Wow. And Rique followed right after like like
literally like they're like hurry up in Rique because Balley
most I think was the first ye big Enrique hit,
So that kind of spawned that new sound. Mark Anthony
Mark Anthony was huge. Yeah, Jlo married him. That's how
big he was. It was probably because of his personality
and his good looks or his musical He's probably a
(06:21):
good guy.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I would say analogy for you, Yeah, I would say
Backstreet Boys are to in sync as Ricky Martin is
to Enrique Iglesias in that Backstreet and Ricky Martin kind
of kind of started the big pop culture movement, but
ultimately in a lot of ways, I think in Sync
and Enrique had bigger, more accomplishments by the.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
End of Fair, Fair, Great, Great.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I remember my sayt analogy great analogy? Damn they I
think they got rid of those, did they?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Probably in the New Math No thanks. Number nine moving
to the number nine spot, This is one that I
forgot about.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Wait, what about our jingles number number nine on Brady's
Top forty with Dan Kinsburg.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Number nine needs some work. By the way, we can't
even play these songs because we just got We had
a big meeting about not playing any sound bites. So
you're just gonna have to remember it. We could hummet
maybe I don't know, but Deborah Cox, nobody's supposed to
be here.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Remember that is I love the original pop Radio? Did
not play the original Pop Radio. I don't know who
did it, but it was a remix oh yeah by
Deborah Cox. Yeah, but it was one of those. It
might have been like Jason Nevins or Dave all Day.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
They do a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Those pop remix The original was the R and B
Yes track Yes, which was.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
A massive number one R and B hit.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yes, huge pop hit too.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I don't know that she ever really got that big
ever after that song. But in the pop world, I'm
sure she's had a string of R and B hits.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't know that she even had a ton.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
She's actually gonna be in Chicago. She's performing at our
juneteenth Music Festival.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
No, I lied, She's not too that. She's gonna be
at uh pride Fest this month. Okay, that's I knew
it was a thing in juke well.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The June teenth Music Vessel was fun because it's a
lot of throwback artists Ashanti oh wow, uh maya Deborah
Cox would fit right, that's I thought, Okay, sorry, we'll
see PrideFest and said, that's both great. Number eight a
group that I feel they were. They were easy to
pick on, much in the same like as like a
(08:30):
nickelback because there was a little cheesiness to them. I
loved them. I was a big fan of Sugar Ray
Every Morning and Number.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Everything was so catchy that they released.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Fly that was her first one, Uh John a blank?
What else? Every Morning was second, and then what came
after that when the Morning cop No, that is that? No,
this even smash Mouth, same as smash Mouth. No, Sugar
Ray was so good, Mark McGrath, I feel like you
wanted to like hang out out with him.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He definitely was just like your everyday broad. Yeah, he
definitely were. He definitely worked at Abercrombie right before he
got signed.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Someday someday. Duh, that's a good one. Yeah, yeah, so
Sugar Ray every morning. Nobody so alrighty living le vita,
looka nobody's supposed to be here, Sugar Ray, like three
such different genres. Huge It's number seven is Christina Aguilera
and Genie in the Bottle, her debut hit.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yep, this is the one that put her on the mat.
I remember it vividly.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The spears comes along and Christina Aguilera says, hold my
Shirley Temple because she was only like eight, eighteen or seventeen.
Well I was seventeen to oh you guys, age, you'd
be sipping root peer floats, one ruper float, two straws
with Christina would happily yeah, still would come on a
float with Christina Aguilera. Yeah, Uh, Jeanie a Bottle is huge.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It was again defining this era is gonna be like
a real big pop bubblegum pop. Almost Jeanie and a
Bottle had a little more. It felt like it had
a little more rhythm to it, little rhythmic lean over Brittany.
But yeah, this was our first, uh you know vision
of what Christina Aguilar and that presentation is all about.
I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I thought it was an awesome so it was so catchy.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I think she was Also, she was sort of like
the treated in pop culture as like the more musically
singing talent compared to like Brittany came on the scene
and blew up right away, but there was like a
criticism of her affair or not that, like singing wasn't
her strength.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
And then along came Christina with these.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Riffs and this like majestic voice, and I feel like
she was like the counterpart in terms of like the
actual musical talent.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, they will forever be side by side in pop
pop history because they not only started off together in
the music world, they started off together on the Mickey
Mouse Club together like years before that, which is wild
to think a bunch of but justin too there? Who
else was on that?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Ryan Gosling?
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Was he? No?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I forget what I'm thinking of. There's another making mouse
Club the three I knew? Okay, Ah, Genie by number seven?
How about this? This one another timeless classic. I actually
play this in one of my radio stations in Dallas,
still as a gold sixpence none the richer kiss me
another one like this was everywhere? You got sick of
this song by month number four?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Song didn't go away ages.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It must have been on the charts forever.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, everybody's singing that one until they didn't want to
sing anymore. Hear it crack in the top five. We
gave you Christina, we got to give you Brittany and
kind of what this podcast was? I mean, Britney Brady
one more time? She would fully popular, well known brand.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm Brittany and I have.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
More fans, we have more followers on this subscribers. Definitely
baby one more time? Me Come on? What can't you
say about the song? All time banger? Every radio station
still play it today, A song that with that video
created a whole generation of Halloween costumes. Everybody trying to
be Brittany from Baby one more time. When you say Brittany,
(12:06):
who are you, I'm Brittany from Baby ONEm time. Because
you could be a different Brittany. You could be Britney
from another video.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yep, she had eras.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, and this was the first one for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And this was the first one.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And this launched that whole trend of female teenage pop stars.
I mean that was there wasn't anything any like singular
big thing prior to that.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It was her. Then along came Christina, You had Mandy.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Moore, You had a whole Jessica Simpson, Jessica Simpson, I
mean everything just I think their labels saw that work
with her and were like.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
How many more can we find so much money to
be made off these?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah? All these were Brittany and Christina though they were
like TRL mainstays always getting all those votes from the
from the young teenage. So if you were like probably
twelve to fifteen, that was everything for you. Yeah, you
had probably posters on the wall. Maybe even if you're
twenty one, what did you have a Brittany I'm moving
(13:02):
no judgment in here. Trust number four. Uh, this one
surprised me a little bit too, because I remember it
being big. This must have been one of those that
you mentioned earlier that the sales really helped it.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yes, and this was another one that pop radio had
a pop remix.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yes, that was different than the original R and B.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Version, right, it was more tempo. Yeah, did not want
to play the R and B version. I don't know why.
Heartbreak Hotel song Whitney Houston, who, in my opinion, the
greatest voice of our generation.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I will say Heartbreak Hotel and Nobody's Supposed to Be
Here are probably two of my like ten favorite R
and B songs of my lifetime. Wow, those are both.
I think those are both fantastic ones songs. And it's
not always like the best written songs that always become
the biggest hits. But I would I would absolutely stand
behind those surprised to see it so high. Number four
(13:51):
I did. Yeah, that was one of the ones when
you said when you looked at the list, that was
one of the ones that instantly when I saw it,
I was like, oh, yeah, I remember that was massive
for a time. But if you had giving me fifty
guesses on the top ten of ninety nine, I would
not have come up with Heartbreak Hotel.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I don't know if it's the same year. I can
look down at the whole like top one hundred. But
I was a huge fan of Whitney's Your Love Is
My Love Me as well. Oh that was so good.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Favorite Whitney song of all time, I think of all time,
I think so all the original version, which again.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Was redone for that one.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I that starts Pickle Perry.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's fair if we're just talking individual perform conversation. That
was such the like the like baby vocals in the background.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know what I'm talking about. Just every time?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, that songs like Perfection.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Okay, we're in the top three. Now, these are the
top ten songs of nineteen ninety nine. An artist that
I don't think it's enough credit. Really, she had a
really big run and this was probably the biggest solo
song of her career because she had a she had
a collab with Brandy a couple of years prior. Number
three Monica Angel of Mine another one that I would
(15:01):
not have remembered. But as soon as you see it,
you know, you know, you remember. If you're of a
certain age, you should go back, you should go back
and listen to it. It's just such a good pure
pop hit. Yeah, that's a balance of that song in
probably fifteen twenty years. Yeah, Monica is great, just one
of them days. Don't take it personal. Yep, of course,
boy's mind yep. Oh yeah, she had a good run.
(15:23):
We're in the top two and okay, so number one
did surprise me. But now that you when you stop
and think about it, I had to look at it.
I have to look it up. How many weeks it
spent at number one. But before we get there, the
second biggest hit of ninety nine was TLC and No Scrubs?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I mean, could you massive?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Could you? Could you consider them the greatest girl group
of all time?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I think you could put them in the discussion.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh you put Destiny Child over them?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I yeah, I would Spice Girls, doesn't the Spice Girls
had short stain power.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That that kind of thing in power started in.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Critical acclaim nineteen ninety two. And I don't remember when
Left Eye passed away. I think it was like two
thousand and one. But they're making music all the way
up to that, So that's a nine we're talking nine
years Destiny's Child, I don't I think Beyonce went on
her own like after your five.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, I think it depends what angle you're arguing for, right,
I mean, if you're talking talent, I mean what what
the members of Destiny's Child, the careers they went on
to have.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Sure, I mean I don't know how you top that. Yeah,
but I think no, you're right.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I mean they weren't around and successful for a group,
but nearly as I mean, TLC was cranking out hits
in the late eighties, right, No, early nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Ninety two was their first song. Ain't too proud to bag.
But I will say they probably had double the amount
of time, but Destiny's Child probably had double the amount
of like hits.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
But I love TLC. I love that track No scrubs.
I mean I was the scrub. I was the passenger
on my best friend's ride trying to holler at her.
That was me because I didn't have a car, So.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You were the scrub.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I was the scrub that song. I could relate. I
felt personally attacked when that song, but I still sang
it with a banger. Fair and here we go, the
number one song of nineteen ninety nine. This is a
fun little exercise. I like this. We did this for
more years. Is I recently saw her last October when
we went to the wife and I went to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She finally got inducted.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Is the one. And I don't believe it took that long.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I know, Share and Believe.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Come back top two both kind of comebacks. Share more
than TLC, but both of them had big careers in
years prior. Obviously Share dating back much longer, in a
much wider career, but both comebacks.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I mean, you hadn't heard from.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
TLC for a while before now that ripes. Yeah, they
had a gap, you know, they had a three year
gap or something or something like that. Okay, Share had
a much longer gap.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But this song, first of all, the texture of the song,
it really was auto tune. And this is the first
time we kind of heard that, right because we're, well, what,
that's not her, but she created t pain she did.
Paint has Share to thank for his career and a
lot of strippers, I'm sure, but Share believe came out
it sounded so now even though it's from an artist
(18:08):
that was much older than you know, the other artists
on the chart. I mean, and then you think about
when she started was probably in the sixties, and she
had hits every decade leading up to this, and you're right.
This was a huge comeback and ultimately became the biggest
hit of her career.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
She I mean that, that's just an iconic song.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You still you people, you know you hear a tiny
bit of that today and you immediately know what it
is so catchy?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, yeah, Share Believe the biggest song of nineteen Trivia
question for you love, give it to me about share
name shares last top forty hit before Believe. Okay, I'm
gonna guess love the answer to this, I'm gonna guess
it's got to be something from the late eighties, getting correct,
from the nineties. It's from nineteen ninety three. Oh oh,
(18:58):
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, this is
ninety three? Is my wheelhouse man? Was it a duett?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Uh? It was? There were four artists involved. Wait what Okay,
this is a soundtrack they charted.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Uh shared Celendon and I don't know, Mariah, it's what.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Was It's from a TV soundtrack?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, no clue.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I got you babe from the Beavis and soundtrack God
With And she actually like first it seems like what
they normally do on the show, where you know they're
they're just talking over a song or a video or whatever,
but then Share actually starts talking to them in the song.
I had that the soundtrack on CD, the Whole, the
(19:47):
Whole Beavis and Was it from the movie? I think
it was the TV I think it was a soundtrack
from the TV show because they had a movie, right
and America Roller Coaster from that same sound track. Probably, Yeah,
I wonder if that soundtrack was thought about. Wow, you
just unlocked a core memory. Yeah, I was gonna go
Jesse James by Share from the eighties, which is that, Uh,
(20:10):
probably he's at number nine in nineteen eighty nine and
I Got You, Babe got radio airplay made the top forty.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I feel like a different time.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I feel like we we really drop a Beavis and
buttead reference more frequently than I thought we would on
this podcast. But it makes sense. It makes sense. Wow,
that is a really good trivia because it's such a
forgotten obscure and just like a funny, little, funny little
thing she did on her way to the Hall of
Fame so many years later.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It was not from the movie, by the Way Love.
Roller Coaster was from the Bocus and Buttd to Do
America soundtrack. There was a separate soundtrack for the TV
show Gotcha and it was on there.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Wow. Any of these songs in the top ten you
would add to our boat our annual boat outing this year?
Which one do you think you'll get? Had to pick one?
You had to pick one? What are you gonna go with?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I might go with living Lavida Loca?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Uh. I could see that summer boat on Lake Michigan. Yeah,
sunbeaming down, white claw in your hand, Yeah, type of
type of jam.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm gonna go the slowest version of heartbreak Hotel crank
that up right in the playpen. I did Carly ray
Jepson Tonight I'm getting over you. So there are really
no no wrong answers. I've never seen a boat party
turn into crickets quicker in my life than when Dan song.
Because we all pick a song. Come on, Bridget loved
it anyway. Yeah, we all pick a song for our
boat outing and then it plays, and then we sing,
(21:32):
and sometimes we don't. And you you happen to pick
uh the second biggest song of a one hit wonder, not.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Even second, it's like, that's the biggest song. Oh no,
I stand by it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Just going through nineteen ninety nine real quick here before
we wrap up some songs that stuck out to me.
Will Smith's Wild Wild West. Yes, actually charted higher than
Miami that year. Isn't it because Miami's.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
One it is.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
It's the sales component we were talking, especially from the
movie movie Yeah, that helped it a lot.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
How about Black had a great run in nineteen ninety nine,
Black and then Who's the other? Oh right, gate Away
and seven o two My Girl, Where My Girls At?
Where My Girls At? So good? Backshe Boys, I want
it that way did not crack the top ten, which
shocked me.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
That shock, Yeah, of the year. I wonder if fifteen
split between a couple of years or something.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Maybe it entered late in the year or something.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I think it was late ninety nine to two thousand.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Smash Mouth All Star, that song was everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's still an Alzheimer.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
A lot of backshy boys, Balamos we mentioned earlier. How
about Lenny Kravitz had a little kind of come back
to that year Flyaway, Flyaway, Yes, Flyaway, Shanaia. We started
to see some of that country crossover that don't impress
me much. I'm sure you're still the one, same album yep.
And then it wouldn't be a nineties chart without Mariah
Carey obviously, I still believe. Okay, remember that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, that was kind of our attempt to go pop
again after after going R and B for a while
with Heartbreaker All the way down Heartbreaker on a side note.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Number one hundred song they kicked off the top one
hundred is God must have spent a little more time
on you, okay, yeap by our pals version of the
country version the Alabama and in Sync.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Did they collabs?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I only remember in sync they were with Alabama.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Alabama did a country version. I can't I didn't. I
guess then Sync was on it. I don't know if
it was they were credited as a cover if they
were actually on it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh my god, number ninety five of the year. Oh,
listen to this collaboration.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Here a song called a song called Satisfy You Okay,
puff Daddy featuring r Kelly.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oh no, oh no, we should play that.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No, we should not. Nobody nobody should play that.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Okay, So what a horrible name? But did not only
tell you real quick, do you know? Yeah, yeah, dorky
Dan fact of the of the episode. So at the
beginning of nineteen ninety six, when I would I would
have In thirteen, I started tallying my like ten favorite
songs of the week every week and then at the
end of the year. I would add them up and
(24:16):
make a chart.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Who didn't do that?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I had a lycos tripod website. It technically still exists.
I still I don't do it every week, but at
the end I still do a chart once a year
at the end of the year with my favorites. So
I can tell you one of my three favorite songs
of nineteen ninety nine three Let's Go Yeah, number and
Brittany and Backstreet are both on there, but not the
songs you think. Probably my favorite Brittany and favorite Backstreet
(24:38):
songs of all time. Number three Britney Spears Sometimes that's right.
We talked about this video, absurdity that that's your favorite. Okay,
go ahead that video.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Number two Backstreet Boys all I have to give great song,
so good, it's good harmonizing. And the number one song and.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Number dance number one song of nineteen ninety nine Blessed
Union of souls.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Hey, Leonardo, she likes me.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
You likes me? Great song, I mean ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I stand by sixteen seventeen year old Dan's nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Ye, now we know what the Billboard charts were based
off of?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
What kind of criteria? Airplay, streaming and sales streaming?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Right? Yeah, streaming.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
No, it's just my favorite write them down everything. It's
like very dorky like point system. Like I'd write down
my top ten every week, and like number one would
get ten points, number two'd get nine points. And then
I'd sit there in December and I would like add
up all the points and then I'll take my chart.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I'd put it on my website.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I'd email all my friends who would play along and
pretend like they gave two craps.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, I did something similar growing up, but I didn't
have a website because I was not tech savvy or
owned a computer.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I was too poor.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I would write it down in notebooks. Okay, write it
down like I have the pilot path for before the website.
That line started in a notebook too, and I have
those somewhere in storage.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Let's see, this is why we're friends. We're kindred spirits.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, we're we're chart nerds.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Just what it is.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
There's people all over the internet, and the Internet is
terrible for a lot of reasons. But one reason that
it's great, and particularly why it was great back in
those days before all the clutter, is something that like
maybe one in ten thousand people cared about where you
were unlikely to meet someone in your life who shared
that in common on the internet one in ten thousand.
There's there's thousands and thousands of people out there. So
(26:21):
my friends and give two craps about my charts, but
you found you found stuff on the internet with people
just sharing their charts and doing their whole dorky habit.
And I'll bet you the majority of people in our
industry did the same thing. Probably common thing, Yeah, probably
definitely definitely correlated.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
But you but your criteria, like your favorites, obviously, that's
that's the one to be on. That's the chart to
be on.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, No, it's the one that the record labels really
rely on. Hey, you know what else the internet's good
for is sharing, subscribing and like it.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yes, I hit the wrong button I was supposed to
do the I did the unpopular opinion button. Oh you
didn't notice.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Unpopular opinion you should share, like subscribe to our podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Please do not do those things. It's embarrassing. We're embarrassed
of ourselves. Know what else gonna say is we're on
the internet. We're on YouTube thanks to Dan's amazing production skills,
so go take a peek. If you're listening, we're streaming.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You will also watch us on YouTube, and of course

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is Brady one more time.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I'll look back on all things nineties and two thousands,
the movies, No no, he then the music blink, the awkwardness.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Remember Jared from the Subway. He's inspired a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
He's looking good show.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Here's your host, Brady Broski.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That is an awkward transition.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
But how could we're five dollars footballs? Though? That was
such a deal. I know, right, you get two for
ten that lunch for days. I love how that was.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
A meal with Jess and a drink. I mean, how
many calories was that?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It depends what you got. I was like I was
a turkey.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You know what else?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I love unpopular opinion.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Subways tuna salad is pretty solid.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I like it too. I can't disagree with you, cannot.
It's something about It's something about them, the mail they use.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I've never gotten food poisoning from it yet. So yeah, Subway,
if you want to sponsor.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Us, We're not like Jared. That'll be our catchphrase. That's
how we'll close it. There you go, Welcome, welcome, welcome,

Speaker 2 (01:48):
My resume right now, The Brady One More Time Podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You can you can now win an award for that
as well. Award winning, award winning podcast. Here it's Dastardly
Dan Ginsburg. Welcome. Ninety nine is where we're going back
to Today. We do nineties and two thousands deep dives,
different topics, pop culture, movies, TV. We did Michael Jordan
last week, which is a lot of fun. But today
it's about the music of nineteen ninety nine. And I
(02:13):
picked this year because I thought, what a transitional year,
not just because of ninety ninety nine we're going into
a new millennium, but because now we're starting to get
away from the grunge rock era of the nineties. We're
really heavy into the pop stuff. Yeah, but also like
all these different crazy genres were popping up too, and
we're going to see that because we're going to go
(02:34):
over the top ten singles from Billboard of nineteen ninety nine.
I love it. So let's start off here. What kind
of music when you think of the year nineteen ninety nine,
which you were probably I was seventeen, okay, seventeen years old,
what do you think? What genre style?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think two things.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I think female teenage pop stars and I think boy bands.
I feel like that was the maybe the boy bands
came a little bit started a lot little bit before that,
but like that was when both.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Of those blew up.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, the Brittaney's, the Christina's, the Backstreets and the insincts exactly. Yeah,
that was really huge for me as I was a
little bit older. Yeah, like I liked that stuff. It
was a guilty pleasure. Sure, I'm a little bit older,
but like I was really drawn into a lot of
like the rock stuff, which was it was. It was
still alternative, but it was kind of getting a little
(03:23):
more heavy, a little less like whiny.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I think the Red Chili Peppers had a big comeback
year in ninety nine, which I was obsessed with.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I think that, I think the pop. I think there
was this this cool new kind of Latin infuse sound
that was that was getting pretty big at the time,
which you can probably now look back at as being
an influence on like the Bad Buddies. It's everywhere, yeah, yeah,
and a little bit of everything. And that's that's what this.
This year to me was so without any for I
(03:51):
think we're just gonna go should we just go over
the song? So ten to one, let's start number ten.
First of all, were there any songs, because you have
the list right where any of these day songs surprise
you that made the top ten of the year. I
wouldn't say which.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
One any of them surprised me. I would say I
forgot about a couple of them.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Same.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
But when I saw the list, I was like, no,
that makes sense. It was massive because.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What's funny is like with the Billboard chart, right, like,
you get the top ten songs that were big that year,
that necessarily mean they're gonna end up being the ten
biggest songs like long Term.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Right, bill Timeless.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Back then, a huge percentage of this was sales of
the of the albums and the singles like physical CD.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Sales CD singles because we were we were not yet
buying things on iTunes that did that wasn't invented yet.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So yeah, that was a big part. And I think
that and then radio airplay obviously but not as big,
but not as big as the sales planer.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Had it been, they would have it would have I
think we would have had more timeless songs as opposed
to well, let's get into it number ten. Back to
the Latin.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, I mean this was probably it kickstarted it, and
it's probably the biggest one of all time. I mean,
we hadn't looked at this list and we had said
to each other, name the song that started that movement
or the first song you remember at the forefront of
that movement.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm sure we both would have said that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Live in La Vida Loca, I remember the video.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I remember him. He was doing his dance. He's really
like a sexy man, and all the ladies loved him,
and that lady didn't know he was gay.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
At the time.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
No, he is.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Ricky Martin, Yeah, isn't he. I'm just kidding you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He made me question, I swear, thinking, please tell me
I'm not facing him with someone else.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Did ladies not really know or did they pretend that?
I don't think they knew.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And I feel like there's a lot of a lot
of like male sex symbols, like dance and have that
little bit of flamboyance.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
They're not all gay. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I love that song though, I mean that's a timeless Yeah,
they're right, did kick off and he had he had
really cool hair. I remember that being a thing, and
that song was everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That was one of those songs you listen to that
in Spanish class.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
That's how big it was.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Our Spanish teacher helped us learn Spanish by having us
listen to that song.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
That's incredible. Wow. And Rique followed right after like like
literally like they're like hurry up in Rique because Balley
most I think was the first ye big Enrique hit,
So that kind of spawned that new sound. Mark Anthony
Mark Anthony was huge. Yeah, Jlo married him. That's how
big he was. It was probably because of his personality
and his good looks or his musical He's probably a
(06:21):
good guy.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I would say analogy for you, Yeah, I would say
Backstreet Boys are to in sync as Ricky Martin is
to Enrique Iglesias in that Backstreet and Ricky Martin kind
of kind of started the big pop culture movement, but
ultimately in a lot of ways, I think in Sync
and Enrique had bigger, more accomplishments by the.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
End of Fair, Fair, Great, Great.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I remember my sayt analogy great analogy? Damn they I
think they got rid of those, did they?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Probably in the New Math No thanks. Number nine moving
to the number nine spot, This is one that I
forgot about.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Wait, what about our jingles number number nine on Brady's
Top forty with Dan Kinsburg.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Number nine needs some work. By the way, we can't
even play these songs because we just got We had
a big meeting about not playing any sound bites. So
you're just gonna have to remember it. We could hummet
maybe I don't know, but Deborah Cox, nobody's supposed to
be here.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Remember that is I love the original pop Radio? Did
not play the original Pop Radio. I don't know who
did it, but it was a remix oh yeah by
Deborah Cox. Yeah, but it was one of those. It
might have been like Jason Nevins or Dave all Day.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
They do a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Those pop remix The original was the R and B
Yes track Yes, which was.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
A massive number one R and B hit.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yes, huge pop hit too.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I don't know that she ever really got that big
ever after that song. But in the pop world, I'm
sure she's had a string of R and B hits.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't know that she even had a ton.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
She's actually gonna be in Chicago. She's performing at our
juneteenth Music Festival.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
No, I lied, She's not too that. She's gonna be
at uh pride Fest this month. Okay, that's I knew
it was a thing in juke well.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The June teenth Music Vessel was fun because it's a
lot of throwback artists Ashanti oh wow, uh maya Deborah
Cox would fit right, that's I thought, Okay, sorry, we'll
see PrideFest and said, that's both great. Number eight a
group that I feel they were. They were easy to
pick on, much in the same like as like a
(08:30):
nickelback because there was a little cheesiness to them. I
loved them. I was a big fan of Sugar Ray
Every Morning and Number.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Everything was so catchy that they released.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Fly that was her first one, Uh John a blank?
What else? Every Morning was second, and then what came
after that when the Morning cop No, that is that? No,
this even smash Mouth, same as smash Mouth. No, Sugar
Ray was so good, Mark McGrath, I feel like you
wanted to like hang out out with him.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He definitely was just like your everyday broad. Yeah, he
definitely were. He definitely worked at Abercrombie right before he
got signed.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Someday someday. Duh, that's a good one. Yeah, yeah, so
Sugar Ray every morning. Nobody so alrighty living le vita,
looka nobody's supposed to be here, Sugar Ray, like three
such different genres. Huge It's number seven is Christina Aguilera
and Genie in the Bottle, her debut hit.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yep, this is the one that put her on the mat.
I remember it vividly.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The spears comes along and Christina Aguilera says, hold my
Shirley Temple because she was only like eight, eighteen or seventeen.
Well I was seventeen to oh you guys, age, you'd
be sipping root peer floats, one ruper float, two straws
with Christina would happily yeah, still would come on a
float with Christina Aguilera. Yeah, Uh, Jeanie a Bottle is huge.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It was again defining this era is gonna be like
a real big pop bubblegum pop. Almost Jeanie and a
Bottle had a little more. It felt like it had
a little more rhythm to it, little rhythmic lean over Brittany.
But yeah, this was our first, uh you know vision
of what Christina Aguilar and that presentation is all about.
I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I thought it was an awesome so it was so catchy.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I think she was Also, she was sort of like
the treated in pop culture as like the more musically
singing talent compared to like Brittany came on the scene
and blew up right away, but there was like a
criticism of her affair or not that, like singing wasn't
her strength.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
And then along came Christina with these.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Riffs and this like majestic voice, and I feel like
she was like the counterpart in terms of like the
actual musical talent.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, they will forever be side by side in pop
pop history because they not only started off together in
the music world, they started off together on the Mickey
Mouse Club together like years before that, which is wild
to think a bunch of but justin too there? Who
else was on that?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Ryan Gosling?
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Was he? No?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I forget what I'm thinking of. There's another making mouse
Club the three I knew? Okay, Ah, Genie by number seven?
How about this? This one another timeless classic. I actually
play this in one of my radio stations in Dallas,
still as a gold sixpence none the richer kiss me
another one like this was everywhere? You got sick of
this song by month number four?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Song didn't go away ages.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It must have been on the charts forever.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, everybody's singing that one until they didn't want to
sing anymore. Hear it crack in the top five. We
gave you Christina, we got to give you Brittany and
kind of what this podcast was? I mean, Britney Brady
one more time? She would fully popular, well known brand.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm Brittany and I have.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
More fans, we have more followers on this subscribers. Definitely
baby one more time? Me Come on? What can't you
say about the song? All time banger? Every radio station
still play it today, A song that with that video
created a whole generation of Halloween costumes. Everybody trying to
be Brittany from Baby one more time. When you say Brittany,
(12:06):
who are you, I'm Brittany from Baby ONEm time. Because
you could be a different Brittany. You could be Britney
from another video.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yep, she had eras.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, and this was the first one for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And this was the first one.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And this launched that whole trend of female teenage pop stars.
I mean that was there wasn't anything any like singular
big thing prior to that.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It was her. Then along came Christina, You had Mandy.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Moore, You had a whole Jessica Simpson, Jessica Simpson, I
mean everything just I think their labels saw that work
with her and were like.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
How many more can we find so much money to
be made off these?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah? All these were Brittany and Christina though they were
like TRL mainstays always getting all those votes from the
from the young teenage. So if you were like probably
twelve to fifteen, that was everything for you. Yeah, you
had probably posters on the wall. Maybe even if you're
twenty one, what did you have a Brittany I'm moving
(13:02):
no judgment in here. Trust number four. Uh, this one
surprised me a little bit too, because I remember it
being big. This must have been one of those that
you mentioned earlier that the sales really helped it.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yes, and this was another one that pop radio had
a pop remix.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yes, that was different than the original R and B.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Version, right, it was more tempo. Yeah, did not want
to play the R and B version. I don't know why.
Heartbreak Hotel song Whitney Houston, who, in my opinion, the
greatest voice of our generation.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I will say Heartbreak Hotel and Nobody's Supposed to Be
Here are probably two of my like ten favorite R
and B songs of my lifetime. Wow, those are both.
I think those are both fantastic ones songs. And it's
not always like the best written songs that always become
the biggest hits. But I would I would absolutely stand
behind those surprised to see it so high. Number four
(13:51):
I did. Yeah, that was one of the ones when
you said when you looked at the list, that was
one of the ones that instantly when I saw it,
I was like, oh, yeah, I remember that was massive
for a time. But if you had giving me fifty
guesses on the top ten of ninety nine, I would
not have come up with Heartbreak Hotel.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I don't know if it's the same year. I can
look down at the whole like top one hundred. But
I was a huge fan of Whitney's Your Love Is
My Love Me as well. Oh that was so good.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Favorite Whitney song of all time, I think of all time,
I think so all the original version, which again.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Was redone for that one.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I that starts Pickle Perry.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's fair if we're just talking individual perform conversation. That
was such the like the like baby vocals in the background.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know what I'm talking about. Just every time?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, that songs like Perfection.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Okay, we're in the top three. Now, these are the
top ten songs of nineteen ninety nine. An artist that
I don't think it's enough credit. Really, she had a
really big run and this was probably the biggest solo
song of her career because she had a she had
a collab with Brandy a couple of years prior. Number
three Monica Angel of Mine another one that I would
(15:01):
not have remembered. But as soon as you see it,
you know, you know, you remember. If you're of a
certain age, you should go back, you should go back
and listen to it. It's just such a good pure
pop hit. Yeah, that's a balance of that song in
probably fifteen twenty years. Yeah, Monica is great, just one
of them days. Don't take it personal. Yep, of course,
boy's mind yep. Oh yeah, she had a good run.
(15:23):
We're in the top two and okay, so number one
did surprise me. But now that you when you stop
and think about it, I had to look at it.
I have to look it up. How many weeks it
spent at number one. But before we get there, the
second biggest hit of ninety nine was TLC and No Scrubs?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I mean, could you massive?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Could you? Could you consider them the greatest girl group
of all time?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I think you could put them in the discussion.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh you put Destiny Child over them?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I yeah, I would Spice Girls, doesn't the Spice Girls
had short stain power.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That that kind of thing in power started in.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Critical acclaim nineteen ninety two. And I don't remember when
Left Eye passed away. I think it was like two
thousand and one. But they're making music all the way
up to that, So that's a nine we're talking nine
years Destiny's Child, I don't I think Beyonce went on
her own like after your five.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, I think it depends what angle you're arguing for, right,
I mean, if you're talking talent, I mean what what
the members of Destiny's Child, the careers they went on
to have.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Sure, I mean I don't know how you top that. Yeah,
but I think no, you're right.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I mean they weren't around and successful for a group,
but nearly as I mean, TLC was cranking out hits
in the late eighties, right, No, early nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Ninety two was their first song. Ain't too proud to bag.
But I will say they probably had double the amount
of time, but Destiny's Child probably had double the amount
of like hits.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
But I love TLC. I love that track No scrubs.
I mean I was the scrub. I was the passenger
on my best friend's ride trying to holler at her.
That was me because I didn't have a car, So.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You were the scrub.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I was the scrub that song. I could relate. I
felt personally attacked when that song, but I still sang
it with a banger. Fair and here we go, the
number one song of nineteen ninety nine. This is a
fun little exercise. I like this. We did this for
more years. Is I recently saw her last October when
we went to the wife and I went to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She finally got inducted.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Is the one. And I don't believe it took that long.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I know, Share and Believe.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Come back top two both kind of comebacks. Share more
than TLC, but both of them had big careers in
years prior. Obviously Share dating back much longer, in a
much wider career, but both comebacks.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I mean, you hadn't heard from.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
TLC for a while before now that ripes. Yeah, they
had a gap, you know, they had a three year
gap or something or something like that. Okay, Share had
a much longer gap.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But this song, first of all, the texture of the song,
it really was auto tune. And this is the first
time we kind of heard that, right because we're, well, what,
that's not her, but she created t pain she did.
Paint has Share to thank for his career and a
lot of strippers, I'm sure, but Share believe came out
it sounded so now even though it's from an artist
(18:08):
that was much older than you know, the other artists
on the chart. I mean, and then you think about
when she started was probably in the sixties, and she
had hits every decade leading up to this, and you're right.
This was a huge comeback and ultimately became the biggest
hit of her career.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
She I mean that, that's just an iconic song.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You still you people, you know you hear a tiny
bit of that today and you immediately know what it
is so catchy?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, yeah, Share Believe the biggest song of nineteen Trivia
question for you love, give it to me about share
name shares last top forty hit before Believe. Okay, I'm
gonna guess love the answer to this, I'm gonna guess
it's got to be something from the late eighties, getting correct,
from the nineties. It's from nineteen ninety three. Oh oh,
(18:58):
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, this is
ninety three? Is my wheelhouse man? Was it a duett?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Uh? It was? There were four artists involved. Wait what Okay,
this is a soundtrack they charted.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Uh shared Celendon and I don't know, Mariah, it's what.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Was It's from a TV soundtrack?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, no clue.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I got you babe from the Beavis and soundtrack God
With And she actually like first it seems like what
they normally do on the show, where you know they're
they're just talking over a song or a video or whatever,
but then Share actually starts talking to them in the song.
I had that the soundtrack on CD, the Whole, the
(19:47):
Whole Beavis and Was it from the movie? I think
it was the TV I think it was a soundtrack
from the TV show because they had a movie, right
and America Roller Coaster from that same sound track. Probably, Yeah,
I wonder if that soundtrack was thought about. Wow, you
just unlocked a core memory. Yeah, I was gonna go
Jesse James by Share from the eighties, which is that, Uh,
(20:10):
probably he's at number nine in nineteen eighty nine and
I Got You, Babe got radio airplay made the top forty.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I feel like a different time.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I feel like we we really drop a Beavis and
buttead reference more frequently than I thought we would on
this podcast. But it makes sense. It makes sense. Wow,
that is a really good trivia because it's such a
forgotten obscure and just like a funny, little, funny little
thing she did on her way to the Hall of
Fame so many years later.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It was not from the movie, by the Way Love.
Roller Coaster was from the Bocus and Buttd to Do
America soundtrack. There was a separate soundtrack for the TV
show Gotcha and it was on there.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Wow. Any of these songs in the top ten you
would add to our boat our annual boat outing this year?
Which one do you think you'll get? Had to pick one?
You had to pick one? What are you gonna go with?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I might go with living Lavida Loca?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Uh. I could see that summer boat on Lake Michigan. Yeah,
sunbeaming down, white claw in your hand, Yeah, type of
type of jam.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm gonna go the slowest version of heartbreak Hotel crank
that up right in the playpen. I did Carly ray
Jepson Tonight I'm getting over you. So there are really
no no wrong answers. I've never seen a boat party
turn into crickets quicker in my life than when Dan song.
Because we all pick a song. Come on, Bridget loved
it anyway. Yeah, we all pick a song for our
boat outing and then it plays, and then we sing,
(21:32):
and sometimes we don't. And you you happen to pick
uh the second biggest song of a one hit wonder, not.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Even second, it's like, that's the biggest song. Oh no,
I stand by it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Just going through nineteen ninety nine real quick here before
we wrap up some songs that stuck out to me.
Will Smith's Wild Wild West. Yes, actually charted higher than
Miami that year. Isn't it because Miami's.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
One it is.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
It's the sales component we were talking, especially from the
movie movie Yeah, that helped it a lot.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
How about Black had a great run in nineteen ninety nine,
Black and then Who's the other? Oh right, gate Away
and seven o two My Girl, Where My Girls At?
Where My Girls At? So good? Backshe Boys, I want
it that way did not crack the top ten, which
shocked me.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
That shock, Yeah, of the year. I wonder if fifteen
split between a couple of years or something.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Maybe it entered late in the year or something.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I think it was late ninety nine to two thousand.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Smash Mouth All Star, that song was everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's still an Alzheimer.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
A lot of backshy boys, Balamos we mentioned earlier. How
about Lenny Kravitz had a little kind of come back
to that year Flyaway, Flyaway, Yes, Flyaway, Shanaia. We started
to see some of that country crossover that don't impress
me much. I'm sure you're still the one, same album yep.
And then it wouldn't be a nineties chart without Mariah
Carey obviously, I still believe. Okay, remember that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, that was kind of our attempt to go pop
again after after going R and B for a while
with Heartbreaker All the way down Heartbreaker on a side note.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Number one hundred song they kicked off the top one
hundred is God must have spent a little more time
on you, okay, yeap by our pals version of the
country version the Alabama and in Sync.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Did they collabs?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I only remember in sync they were with Alabama.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Alabama did a country version. I can't I didn't. I
guess then Sync was on it. I don't know if
it was they were credited as a cover if they
were actually on it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh my god, number ninety five of the year. Oh,
listen to this collaboration.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Here a song called a song called Satisfy You Okay,
puff Daddy featuring r Kelly.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oh no, oh no, we should play that.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No, we should not. Nobody nobody should play that.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Okay, So what a horrible name? But did not only
tell you real quick, do you know? Yeah, yeah, dorky
Dan fact of the of the episode. So at the
beginning of nineteen ninety six, when I would I would
have In thirteen, I started tallying my like ten favorite
songs of the week every week and then at the
end of the year. I would add them up and
(24:16):
make a chart.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Who didn't do that?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I had a lycos tripod website. It technically still exists.
I still I don't do it every week, but at
the end I still do a chart once a year
at the end of the year with my favorites. So
I can tell you one of my three favorite songs
of nineteen ninety nine three Let's Go Yeah, number and
Brittany and Backstreet are both on there, but not the
songs you think. Probably my favorite Brittany and favorite Backstreet
(24:38):
songs of all time. Number three Britney Spears Sometimes that's right.
We talked about this video, absurdity that that's your favorite. Okay,
go ahead that video.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Number two Backstreet Boys all I have to give great song,
so good, it's good harmonizing. And the number one song and.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Number dance number one song of nineteen ninety nine Blessed
Union of souls.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Hey, Leonardo, she likes me.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
You likes me? Great song, I mean ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I stand by sixteen seventeen year old Dan's nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Ye, now we know what the Billboard charts were based
off of?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
What kind of criteria? Airplay, streaming and sales streaming?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Right? Yeah, streaming.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
No, it's just my favorite write them down everything. It's
like very dorky like point system. Like I'd write down
my top ten every week, and like number one would
get ten points, number two'd get nine points. And then
I'd sit there in December and I would like add
up all the points and then I'll take my chart.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I'd put it on my website.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I'd email all my friends who would play along and
pretend like they gave two craps.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, I did something similar growing up, but I didn't
have a website because I was not tech savvy or
owned a computer.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I was too poor.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I would write it down in notebooks. Okay, write it
down like I have the pilot path for before the website.
That line started in a notebook too, and I have
those somewhere in storage.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Let's see, this is why we're friends. We're kindred spirits.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, we're we're chart nerds.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Just what it is.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
There's people all over the internet, and the Internet is
terrible for a lot of reasons. But one reason that
it's great, and particularly why it was great back in
those days before all the clutter, is something that like
maybe one in ten thousand people cared about where you
were unlikely to meet someone in your life who shared
that in common on the internet one in ten thousand.
There's there's thousands and thousands of people out there. So
(26:21):
my friends and give two craps about my charts, but
you found you found stuff on the internet with people
just sharing their charts and doing their whole dorky habit.
And I'll bet you the majority of people in our
industry did the same thing. Probably common thing, Yeah, probably
definitely definitely correlated.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
But you but your criteria, like your favorites, obviously, that's
that's the one to be on. That's the chart to
be on.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, No, it's the one that the record labels really
rely on. Hey, you know what else the internet's good
for is sharing, subscribing and like it.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yes, I hit the wrong button I was supposed to
do the I did the unpopular opinion button. Oh you
didn't notice.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Unpopular opinion you should share, like subscribe to our podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Please do not do those things. It's embarrassing. We're embarrassed
of ourselves. Know what else gonna say is we're on
the internet. We're on YouTube thanks to Dan's amazing production skills,
so go take a peek. If you're listening, we're streaming.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You will also watch us on YouTube, and of course
I'm on Instagram at Brady Radio at Dang's zero four,
eight to two, and we will talk to you next
time on the Brady One More Time podcast.
