>biggest song of 1998>probably biggest song of the past 30 years>written for a movie>wasn't even nominated for Best Original SongWhat was the Academy smoking that year?
>>220032676>probably biggest song of the past 30 yearsNo, not even close.
>>220032698What's a better contender? All I Want for Christmas? My Heart Will Go On?
>>220032870Something from Beyonce or a rapper, probably. The new narrative is they're 100% our culture and no one has any but them. Their youtube viewcounts are botted to fuck and back to artifically inflate even mobody-rappers to be above what the music of the people in the real world listen to. >>220032676Love that song. I miss the days when music was more than a singer singing over a beat with little to no actual music in between.
>>220032676>Uninvited
>>220032870>All i want No >Heart will go on Yes, sine other hits from 1998>Everybody (Backstreet's Back)>I Don't Want to Miss a Thing>Frozen >Tubthumping>The boy is mine
>>220032676Name of the song?
>>220032676>biggest song of 1998no it wasn't, you fucking zoomer
>>220032676I looked it up on youtube, thinking from this post that it must surely be a song I've heard before and I just don't know by name. It genuinely doesn't even ring a bell. 40 year old boomer, by the way.
>>220033823You never watched MTV as a kid? Its a shit song but I definitely recognize it instantly
>>220033874>You never watched MTV as a kid?Not much
>>220032676>probably biggest song of the past 30 yearsfucking lmao not even the biggest song of the 90s
>>220032954>I miss the days when music was more than a singer singing over a beat with little to no actual music in between.Rap almost completely died like 2 years ago and you have no idea because you're locked in a room looking only at the things engineered to make you upset all day
>>220032870Mr Brightside or Seven Nation Army All I want For Christmas has lasting appeal but it's only during December
Iris is good and all, but for me it's Dreams - The Cranberries
>>220033823Dude I'm the same age and I heard Iris more than any other song that year. Were you living under a rock?
>>220033628>FrozenMadonna's Frozen? Was that really that big? I figured the more upbeat singles from Ray of Light would have been the big hitters.
Iris is interesting mostly because the guitarist is completely unhinged in his tunings and it somehow works
>look up billboard top 100 songs of the 90s>it's all black artistsI do not remember that at all..
>>220036266the 90s was weird in that there were a ton of genres that were decently popular and a lot of ways you could get programming/radio tailored to them, so you could stay in your own bubble pretty easily with little cross-pollination
>>220035767Ray of light is one of my all time favourite albums, however it really isnt commercial outside of maybe frozen and even then
>>220033702Iris
why are concerts in the rain so fucking kino?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HZM0QiuUS8(Prince probably had the best at the superbowl)
>>220032676>>biggest song of 1998For me, it was
>>220036591Will Smith doesn't have the cuss to sell records. And you know what good for him.
Iris was the biggest song of 1998 in a few countries, like Ireland and Australia. It wasn't even close to being the biggest song in the world. That would be "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion from a perfectly dreadful date movie.
>>220032676The funniest thing is that they don't even play that song fully in the movie Deadpool unironically did a better job
>>220035767Frozen was the biggest hit from the album >>220036338Not even power of goodbye?
>>220032676>hearing this song in rotation with Gettin jiggy with it and Chumbawumba every day for 10 months on the bus ride to and from school when I was 15Getting to drive myself the next year was such a godsend
>>220036779Irishfag here, it certainly was not. It didn't even hit number 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(song)Biggest song of 1998 of Ireland 1998 if you're counting by weeks at number 1 was a four way tie between Celine Dion (fart will go on), Cher (Believe), No Matter What (Boyzone), C'est La Vie (B*witched) - last 2 are relatively smalltime irish bands, don't worry about them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_singles_of_1998_(Ireland)I'm glad it didn't get number 1, it's not a particularly great song, it's ok, I don't like like it much. Weird thread.
>>220035085Yet it's still presented as America's prime "culture and music."
