Nice song. I wonder - did this do well on HAC? I wasn't following the HAC charts back then, but the HAC station in West Palm Beach played this with some regularity, so I am fairly familiar with it. The Hot AC chart didn't exist until 1994. freakyflybry is correct regarding the HAC chart. I looked up the Adult Contemporary chart listing on Billboard's website, and "Caribbean Blue" peaked at #29.

Thanks to you both. I guess that explains why I wasn't following that chart.

In late April, 1994, All-4-One began its 30 week Hot 100 journey with "I Swear". It would top the charts for 11 weeks. The first time it charted is a lost 90s classic from February 26, 1994. It had topped the country charts earlier in the year and crossed over to the Hot 100. In its 20 weeks on the Hot 100, it would peak at #42. I Swear - John Michael Montgomery

A number of posters here think that the 70s and 80s were so great that the 90s in comparison featured a lot of garbage. True, the 90s did have its share of garbage... as in Garbage. The alt-rock group starring Shirley Manson was one of my favorite bands from the second half of the 90s with songs like "Vow", "Queer", "Special" and others. On the Hot 100 from 3/9/96, Garbage debuted at #74 and would eventually peak at #55, spending 20 weeks on the Hot 100 with this song, "Only Happy When It Rains":

Offering up a lost hit from 3/04/1995, it's by a 16-year-old from Atlanta. This song would spend 19 weeks on the Hot 100 and get as high as #58. Two years later, he would score his first big hit with "You Make Me Wanna..." which spent 7 weeks at #2. Usher - Think Of You

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic comes from the 3/16/91 chart... a song that moved up a big whopping one notch to #96 on its way up to #90. Elisa Fiorillo had hit the Top 40 twice before, once with Jellybean ("Who Found Who") and once solo ("On The Way Up"). She teamed with Prince on her album, "I Am" as she had sung backup for Prince on Grafitti Bridge and the Batman soundtrack. You can feel Prince's influence on this hit... "Ooh This I Need":

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic comes from the 3/24/90 chart. Peter Murphy, who has been called, "The Godfather Of Goth", was spending his 7th of 7 weeks at #1 on the Modern Rock Chart with this tune. It debuted this week 25 years ago on the Hot 100 at #95 and would peak at #55. Here is Peter Murphy with "Cuts You Up":

Offering up a lost hit from 3/21/1992, it's by a woman who had Top 40 hits like "All Around The World" and "You Can't Deny It". This song would reach #1 on the R&B chart and #56 on the Hot 100 Lisa Stansfield - All Woman

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic debuted at #70 on the 3/25/95 Hot 100. It's a song by an English alternative band named Elastica. They charted previously on the Hot 100 in 1993 with "Stutter", and this song peaked a little higher than that one, making it to #53. It's a short song, just 2 minutes and 19 seconds long. Here is "Connection" by Elastica:

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic is from the 4/5/97 chart. Collective Soul had experienced huge success on the rock charts and some success on the pop charts with hits like "Shine" and "December". The first hit from their third album debuted on the 4/5/97 chart at #67 but would peak just two notches higher at #65. Ed Roland, the lead singer, has a voice that seems to work either really, really well on their songs or not so much, and I wonder if someone else had sung this song that it might have done better. Musically, it's a great rock song. Here is "Precious Declaration":

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic is by a group which was no stranger to the top of the chart. Blondie had three #1 songs between 1979 and 1981 but after 1982, the hits vanished. They attempted a comeback in 1999 with the release of their album, "No Exit". The first song from that album debuted on the 4/10/99 chart at #82... and that's where it peaked. Deborah Harry sounded a little different than in her other hits but this hit has a catchy chorus, and if you listen closely to some of the choruses, there is a guitar line that sounds a lot like the opening to "The Authority Song" by John Cougar Mellencamp. Here is, "Maria" by Blondie:

Offering up a lost hit from 4/10/1993, it's a remake of Bobby Caldwell's Top 10 hit from 1979. This duo, best known for songs like "King Of Wishful Thinking" and "Faithful", took this song to #55 on the Hot 100. Go West - What You Won't Do For Love
