Now That's What i Call 1990

Dive back into the heart of 1990 with NOW That's What I Call Music! 17, a double CD compilation of tracks that gathers chart-topping hits of the year that kicked off a decade of Pop music revolution. From the Synth-Pop anthems of Erasure's ‘Blue Savannah’, and the Rock of The Quireboys' ‘Hey You’, to the Dance beats of Happy Mondays' ‘Step On’ and Technotronic's Rave-Pop, ‘This Beat Is Technotronic’, this collection features a blend of genres that encapsulates the vibrant spirit of the early 90s Charts.

NOW That’s What I Call Music’s Yearbook series continues with 1990, only the second time they’ve dipped their toe into the decade we like to call “the 1990s”. There’s loads of great songs and artists on this compilation, including George Michael, Elton John, Roxette, New Order, The KLF, The Beautiful South, Pet Shop Boys, Sting, Duran Duran, Kylie, Whitney, er, Appleby… and that’s just CD 1! The second disc is home to a few memorable collaborations, namely DNA & Suzanne Vega, Adamski & Seal and there’s definitely a ‘dance’ vibe with contributions from Deee-Lite, Soul II Soul, Adventures Of Stevie V, SNAP! before it goes a bit ‘indie’ towards the end with The Charlatans, The Stone Roses, The Cure and Primal Scream, etc.

Now That's What I Call 90s Pop boasts some of the most popular songs of the decade, from New Kids on the Block's biggest hit, 1990's "Step by Step," all the way to Backstreet Boys' 1999 smash, "I Want It That Way." Mainstream pop/hip-hop crossovers from Will Smith "Gettin' Jiggy wit It", Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue "Whatta Man", TLC "Waterfalls", and Brandy and Monica "The Boy Is Mine" bridge the generational gap with new jack swing hits by Bell Biv DeVoe "Poison", Bobby Brown "Humpin' Around", and Boyz II Men "Motownphilly".
