This Week's Lost 90s Classic

In its last week on the Hot 100 (the week ending February 19, 1994), Cypress Hill's "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That" (also titled "We Ain't Goin' Out Like That") was down to #98 after previously reaching #65.

Climbing the Modern Rock chart this week in 1997 was the song "Greedy Fly" from Bush. At #7 that week, the song would reach #3 in March and would also just miss the Top 40 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart that same month, peaking at #41.

Guys Next Door were an early 90s boy band version of The Monkees. Created for the NBC Saturday morning TV show of the same name, the group only had one Hot 100 hit - "I've Been Waiting for You" - before the show was cancelled; the song was at its peak of #42 this week in 1991.



As a bonus, here's the song that served as the theme to their series - "(We're the) Guys Next Door".

Here's another song done by the Guys Next Door that never made Billboard's Hot 100 after its Fall 1990 release the same time the Saturday Morning show of this group premiered called "I Was Made For You":

Another good Guys Next Door song is what appeared on the B side of the "I've Been Waiting For You" single called "Telephone Talking":

Debuting on the Feburary 25, 1995 Hot 100 at #66 was the Queens rap duo Mobb Deep. Sampling Herbie Hancock's "Jessica" among other songs for its main beat, "Shook Ones Pt. II" climbed to #59 three weeks later.

Debuting at #95 on the March 3, 1990 Hot 100 and staying on the chart for a short three-week run, "Imagination" by the Dutch new wave band Xymox would peak the following week at #85.

The industrial rock band Stabbing Westward was climbing the Album Rock Tracks chart this week in 1996 with their first rock hit "What Do I Have to Do?". Up from #19 to #17, the song would reach #7. It would also be their highest peaking song on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, reaching #60 in April.

Prooooobably not the best song to be posting on International Women's Day.

Apache, a rapper from Jersey City, New Jersey, was at #78 on the Hot 100 this week in 1993 with "Gangsta B i t c h", which was down from its peak the previous week at #67.

Peaking at #12 on the Modern Rock chart in February, Everclear's "One Hit Wonder" dropped from #13 to #15 the week ending March 13, 1999. The video guest stars game show host Wink Martindale as well as a pre-Mad Men Christina Hendricks.

Spending only four weeks on the Hot 100, "Juice (Know the Ledge)" by Eric B. and Rakim from the film Juice reached a peak of #96. It dropped from that peak to #100 on the March 14, 1992 chart. The Crystal Method would later sample "Juice" for their song "Busy Child" (posted here last year).

"Hello" by Poe reached #65 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart in mid-January 1997. In early March, the song debuted on the Bubbling Under chart, and for the week ending March 22, 1997 it was at #116. There are two versions of the song and video - one from the album of the same name (the version I'm more familiar with), and a more rock-oriented version.

The fourth single from Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever didn't reach the Top 40 like the previous three - "I Won't Back Down", "Runnin' Down a Dream", and "Free Fallin'". On the March 24, 1990 Hot 100, "A Face in the Crowd" climbed to its peak of #46.
