Right in front of my salad?! Pronouns: he/him Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 82,478 User: 12	I thought the other day that Robbie’s Angels was everywhere in the late 90s, the 00s and the early 10s, but it’s hardly ever played now and it’s not on TV these days. Wonder why? Can anyone else think of any other 90s songs that are just not around or played these days?

(although I've done the Buzzjack hated thing of including a couple of late 80s and early 00s tracks that fit and haven't stuck to oh so strict rules! ) There were a lot of tracks that I could remember thinking would be classics but I couldn't recall the last time I'd heard them - Angels was the main one but other notable ones (that are not necessarily huge faves of mine) were I'll Be Missing You, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, Nothing Compares 2 U, Paranoid Android, Common People... I'll stop there or nobody else will have a chance!

I don't feel like I need to hear Angels or I Don't Want To Miss A Thing again Common People and Nothing Compares 2 U definitely agree with! I do feel like nearly all the 90's songs I know would only be because they are still played these days rather than a lost relic of their time!

Also, "Summer Son" by Texas I feel like I heard it everywhere when I was a kid but now the only time I hear it is when I put it on myself lol.

The first that comes to mind is Madonna's 'Beautiful Stranger' - the number one song on airplay for 1999 and experienced a record number of plays in a week, yet I can't remember the last time I heard it on radio.

I hadn't even heard it once in my life prior to maybe 10 years ago but it was still massive in Iceland at the time of Diana's death like in a lot of places in the world.

I actually heard it in Asda when I was shopping yesterday I guess it doesn't count, but I think Asda FM is a station you can access online at least, and it reaches a lot of shoppers. I haven't heard Here's Where The Story Ends by Tin Tin Out or Corrs' Dreams on the radio for a long time, I think they were two of the biggest airplay hits of 1998. I guess the Fleetwood Mac original getting a popularity resurgence will ensure the Corrs version gets even more lost!

In fact it wouldn't surprise me if the vast majority of people who bought it never even played it.
