  1. MC Hammer – U Can’t Touch This (1990)
  2. Michael Bolton – When a Man Loves a Woman (1991)“When a man loves a woman / Spend his very last dime / Trying to hold on to what he needs / He’d give up all his comforts / And sleep out in the rain / If she said that’s the way / It ought to be”
  3. Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You (1992)
  4. Mariah Carey – Hero (1993)“And then a hero comes along / With the strength to carry on / And you cast your fears aside / And you know you can survive / So when you feel like hope is gone / Look inside you and be strong / And you’ll finally see the truth / That a hero lies in you”
  5. Boyz II Men – I’ll Make Love To You (1994) “Close your eyes, make a wish / And blow out the candlelight / For tonight is just your night / We’re gonna celebrate, / All through the night”
  6. Oasis – Wonderwall (1995) “And all the roads we have to walk are winding / And all the lights that lead us there are blinding / There are many things that I / Would like to say to you but I don’t know how”
  7. Spice Girls – Wannabe (1996) “If you want my future, forget my past / If you wanna get with me, better make it fast / Now don’t go wasting my precious time / Get your act together we could be just fine”
  8. Savage Garden – Truly Madly Deeply (1997)[Image from Buzzfeed.com] “I want to stand with you on a mountain. / I want to bathe with you in the sea / I want to lay like this forever. / Until the sky falls down on me”
  9. Goo Goo Dolls – Iris (1998) “And I don’t want the world to see me / ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand / When everything’s meant to be broken / I just want you to know who I am”
  10. Smash Mouth – All Star (1999)

 

“Hey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play / Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid / And all that glitters is gold / Only shooting stars break the mold”
