For the 2024 Summer Olympics now taking place, here's a LOST 1990's CLASSIC by me. Here's Celine Dion singing the song that was in the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, USA - "The Power of the Dream" (Which was the B side of Celine's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" single): www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebfpAD5mvWU

Warning: Both songs below contain NSFW lyrics!
The Notorious B.I.G.'s #2 single "One More Chance/Stay with Me (Remix)" was down to #5 on the Hot 100 this week in 1995, but its B-side "The What" (credited to The Notorious B.I.G. and Method Man) was merely a "tag along" without its own peak.
Meanwhile, the original Ready to Die album version of "One More Chance" is different from the more famous single remix, not only because it lacks the DeBarge "Stay with Me" sample but also because it contains alternate lyrics.

Two songs by Guns N' Roses were on the August 11, 1990 Album Rock Tracks chart. First at #10 and moving up, "Civil War" came from the charity compilation Nobody's Child: Romanian Angel Appeal and went on to peak at #4. Then at its peak of #18 is their cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" from the Days of Thunder soundtrack. Both would later appear on Use Your Illusion II in 1991.
