Best #1 Song of the ’90s
not too many good #1s as mentioned.

Best #1 Song of the ’90s
What IRBS meant to say: there were tons of #1 songs!

Smells Like Teen Spirit – who knew "teen spirit" has an odor? – was released as a single on September 10 1991. It peaked at #6 on the January 11 1992 Hot 100. It went to number one on the alternative rock chart (November 23 1991), reached #7 on the mainstream rock chart (February 1 1992) and got to #7 on the British singles chart (November 30 1991).

After looking and posting. I may have to agree with IRBS not too many good #1s as mentioned.

We didn't bend the rules for the 70s and 80s #1 hits. Maybe we should for the 90s and possibly go back to revisit and challenge the 70s and 80s #1 hit songs?

Below are some great songs that didn't make #1 Billboard Hot 100 list.

Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (1991)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Under tTe Bridge" (1991)
Oasis - "Wonderwall" (1995)
Third Eye Blind - "Semi-Charmed Life" (1997)
Cher - "Believe" (1998)
Backstreet Boys - "I Want It That Way" (1999)
TLC - "Waterfalls" (1994)
