what would we call the 1997-2003 period when trance and eurodance were really doing things in the chart then? As well as the boyband/teen-pop craze. Ninoughties? Nighties? The last time there was eurodance in the charts was 2014, albeit in the form of Big Room House, the likes of Special D - Come With Me and Bad by David Guetta and Showtek are quite similar. |

Funnily enough, my birth year (1993), is the only year of that decade I'm not overly enamored with. I don't think 1993 is a bad year at all but it lacks a number of really stand out tunes like every other year of the 90's. Just looking at the list of top 10's from '93, the only one's I can safely say I adore are I'd Do Anything For Love, Dreams, I Have Nothing, Mr. Vain and Dreamlover.
Still, overall, there's more good than bad but just not as much good as the other 90's years. |

Best years:
1980s - 1984 1990s - 1998 2000s - 2006 2010s - 2012 Worst year's 1980s - 1988 1990s - 1993 2000s - 2008 2010s - 2010 I don't know enough pre-1980 to make any proper judgement though I'm lead to believe, by my parents and one uncle, that 1976 to 1979 was one of the beat era's for music ever. |

Ninoughties sounds like something you'd buy in Ann Summers. Just saying
As far as 2016 goes, I think it's all relative. I agree with whoever said that certain people remembering music from a given time in their lives directly correlating with life experiences they've enjoyed or endured. I turned 27 this year. I've not listened to a full chart show broadcast on Radio 1 in 3 years - I occasionally listen to Vodafone Big Top 40 when the mood takes me (largely because Marvin Humes presents it). But I think it's actually been an alright year this year. I get most of my new music from listening to Radio 2 or looking at the album chart, and I've bought the most new albums I've bought in a long while this year. Obviously album sales aren't much to write home about but for me, the album chart has been so much more interesting to watch this year, there's been so much variety, and without it I wouldn't have discovered some of the music I did. Like the Rick Astley album "50" has been one of my favourites this year, I loved that album. All Saints' new record was brilliant as well, and of course Olly Murs and Craig David's new albums too, and I love DNCE's stuff they've had out as well. And I'm pretty excited about the new Busted album next week. |

2016 has seen a disappointing lack of Chris Brown... here's hoping 2017 will see more of him just like 2015 was. Heard a snippet of a song called 'Just As I Am' and that sounds like a hit.
