Bottom Feeders: The Ass End of the ’90s, Vol. 38

Section 3: The Airplay chart

Hum hit #72 with “Stars” back in 1995.

Ice Cube hit #56 with “We Be Clubbin’”

Another clear problem with the charts in the ‘90s is revealed with Natalie Imbruglia who hit #25 with “Wishing I Was There” after spending 11 weeks at #1 with “Torn.” Well, sort of at least as it was never released as a single.

    Miki Howard deserved so much more success than she got, and “Ain’t Nobody Like You” is living proof of that. The fact that her cover of “Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do)” that charted the year before never even appeared on the Hot 100 is even more of a crime.

    Of course I must direct everyone to my blog for my post on my girl Icy Blu. She is definitely a hot topic there if you look at the comments. http://theisleoffailedpopstars.blogspot.ca/2007/12/icy-blu-icy-blu-1991.html#comment-form I’m waiting for her to write to clear things up! And to be fair, “Pump It” and other tracks on her album were meant to be responses to Tone Loc’s “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing”. Oh, and thanks for the shout out in Bubbling Under. ;)

    Shit, if I known she went to jail and her sister (or someone) was sleeping with her baby daddy I would have tried talking to her myself.

    Wow I was listening to none of this is the 90′s.

    That wasn’t the end for Betty Wright’s career by any means. Saw her a few months ago and she still sounds great, and you check out “The Movie”, her album from last year

    LOL And how timely that you posted this, as Spin just posted this article on white female rappers and Icy is included. http://www.spin.com/gallery/50-biggest-white-girl-rap-moments-of-all-time?image=6

    I refuse to believe this is a coincidence.

  • NastyG

    For sure! Because thanks to your Icy Blu mention I was thinking of making a white female rapper mix and then this popped up! LOL
