Great Western pop masterpieces and hit songs of the 90s (31–40)
All for loveBryan Adams, Rod Stewart & Sting
It’s a song that was a hit in 1994 and served as the theme for the film The Three Musketeers.
It’s sung by Rod Stewart, Sting, and Bryan Adams—an all-star trio of vocalists from the US and the UK in a dream collaboration.
In Japan, the film didn’t really catch on, and despite the star-studded lineup, the song also seems to be relatively little known.
I love your smileShanice
It’s the 1991 hit by American R&B singer Shanice.
Released as a single from her second album, Inner Child, this signature song made her widely known.
It’s also very popular in Japan as a song often played at weddings, and I think it’s one that almost everyone has heard at least once.
No Way, No WayVanilla
Vanilla, a four-member girl group that burst onto the UK pop scene, made their debut on EMI Records in December 1997.
Their memorable first single was a catchy track that incorporates the familiar melody from The Muppets.
Based on Italian composer Piero Umiliani’s 1968 piece, the song blends Europop with electronic sounds to create an accessible, feel-good tune.
It achieved an impressive No.
14 on the UK Singles Chart and was featured on the compilation album Now That’s What I Call Music! 39.
A nostalgic favorite, it’s recommended for anyone looking to revisit late-’90s pop culture or enjoy a classic novelty song.
JamMichael Jackson
It’s the opening track of Michael Jackson’s 1991 album “Dangerous.” Above all, the craziness of the music video really stands out.
That’s because NBA superstar Michael Jordan appears in it.
A music video where two American superstars are goofing around together—come on, that’s just unfair.
SWEATInner Circle
It’s a 1992 hit by Inner Circle, a five-member reggae band from Jamaica.
The catchy “A la la la la long” refrain made it distinctive, and it was also a hit in Japan.
However, it doesn’t seem to have been very successful in English-speaking countries; it appears they became widely known after their album hit in 1993.
