POP WAS STILL TOP

In the early nineties, music was polarized by the alternative grunge movement and gangster rap. However, a closer look at that time would show that pop and middle of the road rockers were still on top of the music charts. Pop female artists such as Mariah Carey and Celine Dion were becoming mega stars. Middle of the road rockers like Rod Stewart, Elton John, and Billy Joel were releasing songs and getting heavy radio airplay.
