✨ On this day in 2000, Aaliyah's "Try Again" reached No. 1.

From the first beat, you knew exactly what song was coming.

Aaliyah and Timbaland gave us one of the most recognizable songs of the era, and people still know every word.

If you could only keep one Aaliyah song, which one are you choosing?

✨ On this day in 1992, SWV released It's About Time.

One album gave us "Weak," "Right Here," and "I'm So Into You."

SWV had a sound that helped define 90s R&B. You heard the first few seconds and already knew.

You can only keep ONE:

❤️ Weak
🔥 Right Here
🎤 I'm So Into You

Which one are you choosing?

✨ "Motownphilly" was No. 1 on the R&B charts in June 1991.

Before the wedding songs and the slow dances, there was this. The hats, the dance moves, the harmonies... this was Boyz II Men at the beginning.
What's the first Boyz II Men song that comes to mind?

✨ Jodeci – Love U 4 Life (1995)

The 90s had men singing like they were willing to say exactly how they felt.
Boyz II Men. Jodeci. Joe. Dru Hill.

There was longing, devotion, heartbreak, and the belief that love was worth fighting for. "Love U 4 Life" fit right into that era.

What's a 90s R&B song that takes you back to that feeling?

✨ Groove Theory – Tell Me (1995)

There was something about this song.

The beat, the voice, the vibe... it helped define the smoother side of 90s R&B. It wasn't flashy or over-the-top. It just connected with people, and for a lot of fans, it became one of those songs they never forgot.

Which 90s slow jam still does it for you?

✨ On this day in 1990, Mariah Carey released her debut album, Mariah Carey.

For a lot of us, songs like "Love Takes Time," "Vision of Love," "Someday," and "I Don't Wanna Cry" were the introduction. Before the records, the awards, and everything that followed, there was this album.

Four singles. Four No. 1 hits. That's one way to introduce yourself to the world.

What's your favorite song from Mariah's debut album?

✨ On this day in 1991, Mint Condition released their debut album, Meant to Be Mint.
For a lot of R&B fans, "Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)" was the introduction. The second that chorus came on, you knew exactly what song it was.
Mint Condition went on to give us songs like "U Send Me Swingin'" and "What Kind of Man Would I Be," but "Pretty Brown Eyes" has a way of taking people right back to that time.
What's the first Mint Condition song that comes to mind?

✨ Happy Birthday to Faith Evans. 🎂

If you were listening to R&B in the 90s, chances are this song found its way into your rotation.

"Soon As I Get Home" is one of those records that Faith Evans fans still talk about when they think back to that era.

What's the first Faith Evans song that comes to mind?

✨ New Edition – I'm Still in Love With You (1996)

After years of solo projects and success on their own, New Edition came back together for Home Again.

For a lot of fans, songs like "I'm Still in Love With You" were a reminder of why the group meant so much in the first place.

What's your favorite New Edition song?

✨ 112 – Only You (1996)

The late 90s gave us a lot of great R&B groups, and 112 was right in the middle of it.

"Only You" was one of those songs that stayed in rotation and still gets played today.

From this to "Cupid," "Anywhere," and "Peaches & Cream," 112 put together a catalog that R&B fans still go back to.

What's your favorite 112 song?
