It’s almost been a full decade since the ’90s ended which means ’90s nostalgia ought begin kicking into high gear sometime soon.

Here’s my bit to get that started. A look at the 10 most popular songs from the ’90s based on most Last.FM listeners over the past week.

01 - Oasis - “Wonderwall” - 15,882 Listeners

Way ahead of the second most listened to Oasis song, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” which is the song right after “Wonderwall” on the band’s 1995 album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? “Champagne Supernova,” “Live Forever,” & “Morning Glory” round out the Oasis top five, all of which are from the ’90s.

02 - Radiohead - “Karma Police” - 15,764

From 1997’s OK Computer which will be represented on this list again below.

03 - Nirvana - “Smells Like Teen Spirit” - 14,415

The opening track on 1991’s Nevermind. Holy crap, this song is 18 years old.

04 - Nirvana - “Come as You Are” - 14,150

The third track on Nevermind.

05 - Michael Jackson - “Black or White” - 14,130

From 1991’s Dangerous. Prior to his death this track wasn’t in the top 10. And if I had done this list right after his death it would have been #1. MJ mania is starting to slow down on Last.FM, after four weeks at #1 the charts, he was down to #2 last week and he’s down to #4 this week.

06 - Radiohead - “Creep” - 13,720

From 1993’s Pablo Honey, definitely my least favorite Radiohead album.

07 - Radiohead - “Paranoid Android” - 13,501

The second song from OK Computer on the list.

08 - Metallica - “Nothing Else Matters” - 12,192

From Metallica’s 1991 self-titled release known as The Black Album which has sold over 15 million copies in the US.

09 - Metallica - “Enter Sandman” - 11,746

Also from The Black Album. It’s also the 4th song in the top ten from 1991.

10 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - “Californication” - 11,325

The title track from their 1999 album.
