Gen X 90s Top 20 Countdown: Sparkle, Static & Second Chances – December 5, 1998
This week on the Gen X 90s Top 20 Countdown, we rewind to the chart from December 5, 1998; a week where R&B ruled, pop legends were born, and tearjerkers had harmonies sharp enough to cut deep.Brandy, Monica, and Lauryn Hill brought the truth. Alanis offered thanks with a smirk and a sting. Britney launched an empire in pigtails. And at number one? A duet so dramatic, it practically came with its own cathedral lighting.We’re diving deep into every track, every harmony, every heartache. The year was ’98. The chart was stacked. And if you ever rewound a tape just to hear that one note again, this one’s for you.Follow us on all socials at Gen X 90s Countdown: Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, and Mastodon.Intro music by Open-Music-for-Videos from Pixabay
