This Week's Lost 90s Classic is from Sponge, a rock band from Detroit. This was their only Hot 100 hit. While it had an impressive debut at #56 on the 8/12/95 Hot 100 chart, it would peak just one notch higher at #55. This song achieved better success on the rock charts as it peaked at #3 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and #11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Here is Sponge with "Molly (Sixteen Candles)":

Despite it's #52 peak on Billboard, this song made the R&R Top 40 for two weeks. Good catch, Michael! I try to make sure these picks haven't hit the Top 40 on both Billboard and well as Radio & Records, but I missed seeing this on the Radio & Records archives website. Oops! Because of my error, how about a bonus pick from the same chart, 8/4/90? It's from The Whispers, the group who brought us the Top 20 hit from 1980, "And The Beat Goes On", and the 1987 #7 hit, "Rock Steady". Here are The Whispers with a song which would peak at #55 on Billboard (and not reach Radio & Records Top 50), "Innocent": I'll have my regular weekly pick this weekend. I knew this because I followed Rick Dees countdown during that era, and remember the song. I never heard it anywhere else.

There are two Lost 90s Classics this week... one regular pick, and a selection from Aretha Franklin.
My regular pick is from Celine Dion. She was debuting at #96 on the 8/20/1994 Hot 100 with this song, and it would peak just one notch higher at #95. On the Adult Contemporary chart, this would peak at #21. Here is Celine Dion with "Think Twice":
My Aretha Franklin Lost 90s Classic is also from 1994. This song reached #63 on the Hot 100. Here is "A Deeper Love":
If you want a second Aretha Lost 90s Classic, "Here We Go Again" from 1998 is featured towards the bottom on the previous page.

This Week's Lost 90s Classic is from one of the biggest one-hit wonders of the 90s, Sir Mix-A-Lot. This song was both debuting and peaking at #97 on the 9/14/96 Hot 100. This song would spend fewer weeks on the Hot 100 (three) than his smash "Baby Got Back" would spend at #1 (five weeks). Here is Sir Mix-A-Lot with "Jump On It":

This Week's Lost 90s Classic is from Eddie Money. This song was moving up 17 notches to #75 on the 9/21/91 Hot 100, and it would peak at #58. Interestingly, his next two releases from his "Right Here" album would fare better as "I'll Get By" hit #21 on Billboard and was a Top 10 hit on Casey's Top 40, and "Fall In Love Again" would crack the Top 30 on Casey's Top 40. Here is Eddie Money with "Heaven In The Back Seat":

It would peak at #25 Alternative, #27 Mainstream Rock, and #33 Adult Top 40. This song just missed being featured on Casey's Top 40 as it was peaking this week at #42 on the Radio & Records chart. Here is Blues Traveler with "Most Precarious":

But this was an era where Rick did whatever he wanted to the charts.

Here is "A Deeper Love": If you want a second Aretha Lost 90s Classic, "Here We Go Again" from 1998 is featured towards the bottom on the previous page. Celene Dion's "Think Twice" did better in the UK spending #1 for several weeks in 1995. While Aretha's "A Deeper Love" didn't make a dent on AT40/R&R CHR reaches, Aretha's "Willing to Forgive" the same 1994 year didn't make a dent as well, though that Aretha "Willing to Forgive" song was played as an AT40 Sneak Peek (on an episode when Meschah Taylor and J.C. Wendall guest hosted for Shadoe Stevens, and a few weeks until the old AT40 left the U.S. radio airwaves for good).
