Today we rewind to September 4, 1993, a moment when alternative rock, R&B, reggae-pop, hip-hop, and mainstream pop were all shaping a wildly diverse musical landscape. MTV was still steering national taste, movie soundtracks were driving major chart moments, and the industry was shifting into a new, blended sound.
