10 Songs That Were Everywhere In The Late 90s, But We All Forgot About Them

Pop music is a funny thing: a song can be absolutely everywhere one minute, only to completely disappear from the public consciousness the next.

No decade made this more obvious than the 90s, where hits like these 10 songs seemed like they were absolutely inescapable, but seemed to just vanish once the millennium turned.

Fiona Apple won a Grammy for "Criminal," but when was the last time you remembered it even existed?

Fun fact: "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia is actually a cover. Yeah.

This is kind of cheating because we've heard "Wonderwall" plenty of times since the 90s, except now it's hilarious instead of being sentimental.
