These songs all hit No. 1 in the ‘90s, and it was kinda weird.
Los del Rio – "Macarena"
Year: 1996
One of the longest reigning No. 1 songs of the ‘90s, spending an incredible 14 weeks in the top spot (the all-time record is 16 weeks held by the Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men collaboration “One Sweet Day”), “Macarena” was also one of the most random No. 1s of the ‘90s, and of all-time.
The dance associated with the song certainly helped propel the AARP-aged Latin duo of Los del Rio to the top spot, but even that’s pretty damned random.
Right Said Fred – "I’m Too Sexy"
Year: 1992
If I came up to you in 1992 and told you two ripped bald dudes sing-talking about how sexy they are was going to become one of the decade’s most memorable hits, you’d have called me crazy, but Right Said Fred made it happen, and God bless them for doing so.
