Each period leaves a special trace in history. So the 90s will be remembered for a long time by musical groups that will remain forever in the memory of the youth of those years.
“The smoke of menthol cigarettes…” and “She has a granite pebble in her chest…” literally all the girls sang. The songs of the groups "Nancy" and "Ladybug" were at every disco, regardless of the age of the audience. The girls have written many love letters to male group members, such as, " Ivanushki International”, “Tender May”, “Na-Na”, “ Inveterate scammers”, “Hi-Fi”. Memories of first love, of course, are accompanied by the memory of the groups "Demo", "Virus", "Guests from the Future", "Brilliant", "Arrows" and "Paints". The first kisses, the first dance, the first relationship - each of these periods had its own unforgettable music, which even after many years will return to the memories of those events.
It is impossible not to recall the cult group "Hands Up". Hundreds of songs about love, clips that you couldn't stop watching, and a whole youth built on the lines of songs. For more than 20 years, the team has been pleasing fans with their work. Soloist Sergei Zhukov is still the main star of the concerts of the 90s.
If the girls squealed from pop groups, then the boys preferred rock. "Cinema", "Chaif", "Time Machine", "Agatha Christie", "Sunday", "Alice" - no doubt contributed to the development of music. Viktor Tsoi remained a rock legend even after his death. Personal attitude to the changes in the country and the people around him are the main themes of his work. It was for freedom and honesty that he received recognition from millions of citizens.
Posters of the bands "Spice girls", "Nirvana", "Scorpions" were a mandatory attribute of the room, depending on the gender of the teenager. Everyone tried to portray the movements Michael Jackson they were so famous. "Backstreet Boys", "Nsync", "Aqua" - began their ascent to the top of the fans' love. Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Natalia Oreiro And Christina Aguilera-became the standard of female beauty.
Music has been given a special place in the heart of any teenager. Everyone tried to write down the words from their favorite songs in a notebook and learn them. These notebooks were kept very carefully. Boys and girls even changed them and rewrote the texts for themselves.
The disco of the 90s is certainly a popular event now. Dozens of idols gather together and delight the audience with their works. Unfortunately, some of the performers of that time are no longer alive, but it is the songs and videos that make them immortal.
The 90s went down in history along with the adjective "dashing". It was the time of the collapse of the USSR, when Soviet laws collapsed along with the state, giving way to criminal concepts and His Majesty the dollar. Business penetrated the stage, creating numerous commercial projects, where the names of the band members became secondary, and for the promotion of songs it was necessary to shoot clips. collapsed at the same time iron curtain, and a fresh stream of modern Western music, which determines the list of popular songs of the 90s. Russian hits can be divided into one-day works and those that have not lost popularity so far.
"Social" songs
- "Autumn", group "DDT". The song-thinking about the future of the country was born in September 1991. For a rock band, it looked like a pop, and the team members met the creation of Yuri Shevchuk without enthusiasm. At first, Andrei Muratov categorically refused to perform it, but then the song was nevertheless included in the 1992 album Actress Spring. A simple clip was made for it, in which Vyacheslav Butusov starred and supported the author. The song turned into a real folk hit, falling in love even with housewives who were still unaware of the existence of the DDT group. According to Our Radio, the track takes 2nd place in the list best songs XX century after the hit by V. Tsoi "Blood Type".
- "Two pieces of sausage", group "Combination". Several compositions of the Combination group can be included in the list of popular songs of the 90s at once. Russian performers in each work reflected with humor social phenomena that took place in those years: passion for Mexican TV shows (“Luis Alberto”), admiration for the West and wholesale emigration of the 90s (“American Fight”), total shortage (“Two Pieces of Sausage”). The last song was born after Alena Apina left the group, who began solo career. The team was at the peak of popularity until the death of its founder A. Shishinin in 1993.
The best pop groups of the 90s
The winner of 12 Ovation awards, the group whose peak of popularity came in the mid-90s is Na-Na. Created by producer Bari Alibasov, the boy band toured tirelessly in the country and abroad, conquering the audience with fantastic shows. The group brought real sexual energy to the scene, having become famous thanks to the hits "Faina", "Hat Fell", "Eskimo and Papuan".
S. Zhukov and A. Potekhin from Hands Up! for girls from 14 years old became idols. These were the most popular performers of the 90s. Russian hits of those years - “My baby”, “Move your body”, “Baby”, “Forgive me” sounded on all the dance floors of the country.
After several years of obscurity, the Ivanushki International group literally burst onto the stage, filming a video for the song Clouds in the trip-hop style. Igor Matvienko, who created the band in 1994, was already ready to recognize it as his failure, when the music, unusual for Russians, captivated the audience. And then there were "Doll" and " Poplar fluff”, included in all the hit parades of that time.
It is impossible not to mention the cult groups of the 90s - White Eagle and Kar-men. The first one was created on a whim by businessman Vladimir Zhechkov, who personally performed a number of hits, without which not a single karaoke club can do today: “Because you can’t be so beautiful in the world” and “How delightful evenings are in Russia.” The second brought exoticism and a sporty beginning to the stage, and its calling card is the song "London, goodbye".
One-day songs
In the collections "Hits of the 90s" there are a lot of one-day songs, very unpretentious in melody, but very popular at the time. Among them: "Granite Pebble" ("Ladybug"), "Autumn" ("Lyceum"), "The Boy Wants to Tambov" (Murat Nasyrov). Natalie with her hit “The Wind Blowed from the Sea” can rightfully top the list of popular songs of the 90s. Russian people are unpredictable in their passions. The song, for which the masters of the stage condemned the performer, beat all records of popularity. Natalie herself heard it as a child, and after a wild success, more than 17 people claimed their copyrights on it, two of which were legally recognized by them.
With the song "Do not offend, the groom" appeared on the stage, not knowing musical notation sunk into oblivion in the same 90s. Andrey Derzhavin, having not achieved success after Katya-Katerina, was forced to continue creative way keyboardist in Time Machine. There are also very talented performers who created not one masterpiece, but whose finest hour started and ended in the 1990s. Among them: Vlad Stashevsky ("Call Me in the Night"), Andrey Gubin ("Vagabond Boy"), Alisa Mon ("Diamond").
Promising was the clip of Linda ("The Crow"), made in gothic style. She is a performer of wonderful songs by Maxim Fadeev, including "Little Fire". Here the situation is reversed - the songs live, and the performer has disappeared from sight.
Songs of pop luminaries
Many hits of outstanding modern stars pop songs were included in the list of popular songs of the 90s. often ended performances in groups and began solo careers. In 1990, Irina Allegrova left the Electroclub, having made a dizzying rise thanks to the hits: “The Hijacker”, “Empress”, “ Unfinished novel". Did not disappear from the horizon and left the "Merry Fellows". His ironic "Captain Katalkin", "Empty Bamboo" were very fond of the audience.
In the 90s, there was a rise in popularity among Philip Kirkorov ("Prima Donna", "Diva", "Day and Night"), Valery Meladze ("Sir", "Beautiful"), Grigory Leps ("Natalie", "God bless you" ). These and many more real hits of the 90s delight their listeners to this day.
spice girls
The Spice Girls are the most famous girl group with millions of fans around the world. Its participants combine intelligence and beauty, kindness and fun, inexhaustible energy and a sense of style. The Spice Girls, whose line-up was not formed immediately, burst onto the UK scene back in 1996. Her hallmark was a special style and the phrase Girl Power. Literally a year later, the girls started talking about them all over the world, comparing them with the legendary Beatles.
The composition of the Spice Girls was different at the beginning
Interestingly, the composition of the Spice Girls was different at the beginning. Bob and Chris Herbert, father and son, decided to create girl group, as male groups confidently hosted on the stages. Experts immediately prophesied failure for them, but it was not there. Approximately in 1993, a casting was announced, to which about seven hundred applicants came. After the auditions, the producers chose four girls: Victoria Adams, Melanie Chissom, Michelle Stevenson and Melanie Brown. Geri Halliwell was invited to play the role of the fifth vocalist. However, the Spice Girls, whose composition is given above, was called differently: Touch. The girls got acquainted, learned to sing together, danced, prepared for future performances. However, the team immediately did not like that the producers give them ready-made songs, put on dances. They wanted to do everything themselves. Michelle left after seven months and was replaced by Abigail Keys, who also left the group after a month. So among the "peppercorns" appeared seventeen-year-old Emma Lee Bunton, who was recommended by a singing teacher. So, this was the beginning of a new stage of the collective, which was still not called the Spice Girls. The composition was formed, and the new name came up with Jerry and Melanie C. In 1994, the girls quit, but got back together to conquer the world with their own creations.
The soloists of the Spice Girls became wards of the famous producer Simon Fuller, who signed several lucrative contracts for them and literally pulled them to the star Olympus. In June 1996, the British channel MTV showed the clip of Wannabe, which took the top of the charts in a month and lasted there for seven weeks. Then everything was like in a fairy tale: interest in the group is growing sharply, it is in demand and popular. Concerts, new songs and videos, tours of Europe and the world were accompanied by various awards. In 1998, America fell to the feet of the “peppercorns”.
hard work, maybe star fever participants, affected their well-coordinated team. The Fab Five became a Four with the departure of Geri Halliwell, or Ginger Spice. For fans of the impoverished Spice Girls, it was a tragedy: young girls took their own lives and sobbed all night long. But the group did not disappear from the stage, but delighted fans with new hits and amazing shows.
However, over time, the girls began to get married, become mothers. There was less and less time left for the group, especially since some of the participants began to think about a solo career (Mel B and Mel C). Posh Spies (aka Vicki Adams) became a model and designer, and Emma became a TV presenter. It would seem that the triumphant procession of the Spice Girls is over, but during the London Olympics in 2012, they performed in front of the audience in the same lineup. Fans immediately started talking about the reunion of "peppercorns". Why not?
Backstreet Boys
This American pop group of some guys was formed back in 1993. Then the band members themselves: AJ McLean, Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson were not yet out of their teenage years. Perhaps this was one of the factors that caused the group's wild popularity among teenagers, especially females. Backstreet boys got into the Guinness Book of Records, because by all indicators they were the most successful boy band of all time.
Real success in the USA came to them when they released their second album called "Backstreet's Back"
The group's first album received a straightforward title - "Backstreet boys". He came out in 1996. At the same time, the group embarked on a tour of Europe. The disc was instantly certified platinum. However, in their native United States, the group was not as popular. Real success in the United States came to them only the following year, when they released their second album called Backstreet's Back.
In 1999, the guys released the album "Millennium", which means "millennium" in English. This album is still one of the ten best selling albums in the world so far. However, not everything went so smoothly. In 2002, the band members terminated the contract with the manager. Nick Carter took up a solo career, which, however, did not have much success. And only after a break of 3 years, in 2005, the group returned to the stage. Their single "Incomplete" instantly blew up the British charts. The group is engaged concert activity still.
5ive is a British pop group (boy band) of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Sean Conlon was born on May 20, 1981 in Leeds, England.
The 5ive group appeared in early 1997, when father and son - Chris and Bob Herbert (the authors of the idea of creating the Spice Girls) decided that it was time to create a male group. They worked hard with over 3,000 auditions across England until they made their final choice.
The band debuted with the successful single "Slam Dunk (Da Funk)". Success continued with the songs "When The Lights Go Out", "Got The Feelin"", "Everybody Get Up" and "Until The Time Is Through. The debut album "Five", released in June 1998, secured their position as the most popular boy group in the country. The album showed that the group can rightly be called the successor of Take That.
At the time, 5ive was in the middle of the world of rap and dance-pop. The second album "Invincible" was released in 1999 in the UK and in 2000 in the rest of the world. The band considers this album to be the best of their career. "Invincible" went double platinum in August 2000. In mid-2000, the group, together with Brian May from Queen, recorded a remix of the song "We Will Rock You". On August 19, 2001, the group debuted at a high place in the charts with the new single "Let" Dance".

On September 27, 2001, due to disagreements with the label and internal problems, the group announced their breakup. 5ive's latest releases were the double single "Closer To Me" and a remix of "Rock The Party" featuring a Grease sample.
On September 27, 2006, exactly 5 years after the breakup, the band members announced their reunion. started active work over the material. In a completely new style, unlike all their previous work, such songs as: 70 Days, Settle Down, Are You?, Taste It, It's All Good, Not Coming Home. During the writing of the album, there were rumors about an almost signed contract with the label.
On May 20, 2007, after not even a year together, the group broke up again. As the band members themselves stated, the reason for the breakup was that the record company wanted them to start performing with old material, which did not suit the musicians, since they did not want to return to their roots, but wanted to grow professionally. On the night of May 19-20, 2007, a brief statement about the breakup appeared on the band's official website. In 2013, the group decided to reunite and invite Kholod to the team.
N'Sync
Hailing from Orlando, Florida, as well as their rivals from the Backstreet Boys, N`Sync in Lately became the main contenders to grace the covers of youth magazines. The dance-pop group, consisting of five charming young men, seems destined to repeat the success of very similar ones in musically spice girls. The group's offensive on the pop charts began very timely. The beginning of the band's professional career can be traced back to the Disney Channel television show Mickey Mouse Club, in which Joshua "JC" Chaseise (born August 8, 1976; favorite food: cheese) and Justin "Curly" Timberlake (born January 31, 1981; favorite food : spaghetti and porridge) appeared together. Future pop star Britney Spears also worked there, and worked there for almost three years. After the project closed, they moved to Nashville where they took lessons from the same vocalist while working on solo projects. They also took dance lessons from former choreographer Prince and Michael Jackson.
Soon fate brought Joshua and Justin back to Orlando, and upon their return they formed a band with Pittsburgh, real name: Chris Kirkpatrick (b. October 17, 1971; dream girl: Gwen Stefani) and New York native Joy Faton (b. 28 January, 1977; favorite food: pizza). Kirkpatrick convinced the quartet to start working on harmony choral singing, and after the addition of bass vocalist Lance Bass (this is his real name) to the group, the line-up of the group was determined. At the end of 1997, the quintet managed to sign a contract with RCA Records. With the help of several famous producers- among which were Christian Landin, who worked with the Backstreet Boys, and, later, Denis Pop (his clients were Robyn and Ace of Base), a team called N`Sync made several popular songs for radio and released their debut album, exclusively for Europe. Following this, the group went overseas, where it was very warmly received in Germany and the Netherlands. triumphant return back home in the spring of 1998 allowed them to feel confident enough to release their first self-titled album in America.
N`Sync has been slowly making its way into the United States.
N`Sync was rather slow to make its way in the United States, but in the early fall, a performance on an MTV special on the Disney channel and two Top 40 hits (I Want You Back I Tearin'Up My Heart) allowed the album to win a platinum disc. . (In Canada - already double platinum). Publications such as Rolling Stone began the rivalry between N "Sync and Backstreet Boys, and indeed, at the beginning of August, the groups fought for supremacy in the Top 10 charts. Moreover, N "Sync also owes its success to youth magazines such as Tiger Beat and Girls "Life, who shouted loudly that the group would be the next great event. Perhaps they are right. There seems to be no sign of the group's fading popularity. Recently, Janet Jackson invited the guys to open her October concerts, and in November 2000 The band's holiday album Home for Christmas is coming out.After wrapping up with Jackson, N'Sync plan to continue their fight for popularity with the roaring crowd of girls.NSYNC Five good-looking boys from Orlando, Florida - Lance Bass (Lance Bass), JC Chasez (JC Chasez ), Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timbairlake ( Justin Timberlake) - in 1996 they created the quintet "Nsyns", using the last letters of their names in the title. After the release of their first (eponymous) album in 1998, they, as they say, woke up famous. The songs "I Want You Back", "Tearing Up My Heart "," Drive Myself Crazy "sounded from all the radio stations, the boys toured non-stop, girlish hearts fell at their feet. One of the hearts, according to persistent rumors, is Britney Spears, who chose Justin Timberlake, her old friend from the Disney show about Mickey, as her boyfriend Mouse.
Not letting the public "cool down", the guys released album after album: at the end of 1998 - Christmas "Home For Christmas", in 2000 - LP "No Strings Attached" (with hits "Bye Bye Bye" from Max Martin, "This I Promis You "Richard Marx, "That's When I'll Stop Loving You" by Dionne Warwick), in 2001 - the album "Celebrity". The young people themselves took part in composing most of the songs (the hit "Space Cowboy" belongs to Chaseza, he is also a co-producer not only "Nsynс, but also other artists). Music "Nsynс - downhole dance-pop-soul. Distinctive feature- "signature" vocal harmonies and hard electronic sound. All the boys not only sing well, but also dance, and also have experience acting. Their video clips are dynamics itself in half with impressive special effects. True, they also have problems: from the very beginning, all the guys were somewhat older than the average members of the “boy” groups, and therefore managers sometimes asked the traditional question in such cases: is it time for the guys to retire? But N'syns try hard (although this sometimes leads to intra-group discord and depression, which the tabloids are happy to report), and therefore remain afloat. Perhaps they will become the "oldest" boys in the history of show business.
Arrows
The history of creation women's group Arrows, is very mysterious. There are currently several hypotheses women's team. Many argue that the producers of the Strelka group recruited the daughters of wealthy parents into the newly minted team, but there are others who claim that there was a huge casting among young girls who had an attractive appearance and had good vocal skills.
The Strelki group released their first video clip on November 29, 1997, for the song Mamochka
The project itself was presented recording studio Union, which recorded three more new musical compositions. However, after recording several songs, the Soyuz record company refused to further cooperate with the group, since the style of performing the songs itself did not meet the necessary criteria. But as they say, there is no evil without good. Strelka's group became interested in another equally popular record company, Gala Records, which offered them to sign a new contract to record three future albums. The Strelki group released their first video clip on November 29, 1997, for the song Mamochka.

The rock band Agatha Christie presented the performer Hera with her new song, and at one of her performances, Margot did not leave Konstantin Borovoy indifferent, who, like a true gentleman, promised talented group unwavering friendship and support.
The very difference between Strelka and other Russian female pop groups is that all the performers had completely different voices, which allows many listeners to distinguish them not only visually, but also by ear. Also, most of the performers of the musical group can boast of their higher education. For their albeit short-term creative activity, the Strelkas were awarded several prestigious awards, such as the Golden Gramophone-98, the Prize from Russian Radio and participation in the final part of Song 98.

In early 2003, Oksana Oleshko left the group and show business, deciding to devote herself entirely to her family. Her place was taken by the now famous performers Tatyana Tereshina and Katya Li, who also did not stay in the team.
In early 2009, the popularity of "Hi-Fi" fell and for the sake of a solo career, the band left Mitya Fomin, who has since been busy with solo work. "Hi-Fi" is a duet of Timofey Pronkin and changing vocalists.

In August 2015, Strelka announced the reunion of the team in the golden line-up, although today only a trio remains of it.
"Bachelor party". The hip-hop trio was founded in 1991 by producer Alexei Adamov. Sung Details intimate life to the rhythms of North American rap became the key to the success of the team.
