Jets took off with five very quick top tenners then crashed without sniffing the top 40 again.

When How Do I Live spent what seemed like forever on the charts it looked like it was Rimes time. Leann would follow up with a few more increasingly minor hits until there were none.

Paula & Paula:
Abdul Jabbar exploded on the scene for a couple albums but quickly went Crazy Cool and vanished for a couple decades until reappearing on 'Idol but that couldn't get her back on the charts.
Cole had a couple monster hits. I Don't Want To Wait probably still gets as much if not more airplay than any song of the period. But maybe she confused her fans with her followup wondering how she become a Band trading in the Lilith Fair sound for a discoy flavored first single.

But maybe she confused her fans with her followup wondering how she become a Band trading in the Lilith Fair sound for a discoy flavored first single. I'm confused. while I wasn't closely following top 40 radio by the mid-to-late '90s, wasn't "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" Paula's first hit, prior to "I Don't Want To Wait"? The former says '1996' to me while the latter on I associate with '97. Not the other way around. Or maybe I'm not getting your drift. Never heard 'Cowboys' called 'disco(e)y', but I guess it could be considered as such. I liked it, but I used to annoy coworkers by singing it. One of those 'love or hate' songs.

I think the "discoey" song referred to was "I Believe In Love", the first single from the 1999 album "Amen", credited to the Paula Cole Band. It peaked at #33 on AT40 and was her last appearance there. "Dawson's Creek" probably gave "I Don't Want to Wait" a longer life, making it still iconic or identifiable to many who might not really know or remember who Paula Cole is.

You are correct on "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" charting prior to "I Don't Want To Wait", both charting in 1997, while the latter continuing well into 1998.

I don't recall ever hearing that one.

Daughtry 'Idol'ed his way to a nice 'lil string of hits before the tank went dry.

Couldn't have said it better myself... it debuted this week in 1999 at #38 and peaked two panels later. It also illustrated how far AT40 had drifted from the Hot 100 where it could manage no better than a #112 Bubble. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n06Ym85MXEM

Seal went Crazy on the charts for a short time in the 90s before he flew Like A Eagle into oblivion.

But maybe she confused her fans with her followup wondering how she become a Band trading in the Lilith Fair sound for a discoy flavored first single. Paula Abdul went from Hitmaker to the “crazy lady from American Idol”. In the late 80s and early 90s almost everything Paula touched turned to gold. She had four number ones from her debut album “Forever Your Girl”…the aforementioned song, “Straight Up”, “Cold Hearted” and “Opposites Attract”. Six number ones in total. Then she took a couple years off and that was it. When she returned in 1995 with “Head Over Heels” she had one last hit…”My Love Is For Real” which peaked at #28, a failure for Paula. By 1995 music had changed dramatically from the dance pop of Paula Abdul to more serious singer songwriters like Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette and Jewel. The next time we saw her was on American Idol when she was the “nice” judge.
