We're going to count Kris Kross as teen pop now?!

Teen pop?
This is teen pop.
#1 in the UK in 1998, but not released in any Americas, so not included in this rate. What do we get instead? A lady called Monica.

He can do whatever he wants. I'm not increasing my Whitney Houston scores.
Le sigh at UB40 disappearing. The Sliver soundtrack is so amazing and so random. I've enjoyed the movie itself on several occasions, the genre 'erotic thriller' is severely underrated.
I have a bunch of 4's and 5's left that are ripe for picking. Some of them have crazy stans that will ensure their late departure in this rate. The rest.. the good Lord knows who is keeping them from leaving.

What is this false equivalence?
If you want to complain about the lack of teen pop in this rate, ask yourself why the US didn’t catch on to the Backstreet Boys in 1995 when Europe was all over them.
Just because the US had the sense to give rightful props to the talented vocalists of nineties R&B doesn’t mean you have to pit those women against your bubblegum faves.

Me? I just wanted people to stop talking about 'Kriss Kross'.
Billie's Honey to the B is just as good as Birney's debut. She should've released something in '99 to rival her.

Why drag Monica into it, then? She’s not even in this part of the rate.
It's not like there's a visual reminder of Monica on almost every page of the rate or anything.
she/her
She will be. Second half.
I'm trailing ahead.

I mean, Monica is a teen artist from the 90s, so not too far off what we're talking about here! The 90s teen R&B girl era was amazing.

Not to worry, both R&BJustice and TeenPopJustice will have ample opportunity to big up their faves in the second half of the rate.
And meanwhile, I'll be grouching away in my RapJustice corner. Well, that and ChumbawambaJustice. And ThirdEyeBlindJustice.
Next elimination coming soon: any guesses?

Are we not supposed to like Third Eye Blind?!
That name sounds vaguely familiar....

Oh, come on, you know that song.
