This week on Billboard Rewind our chart lands in a moment when pop music was being reshaped from the inside out, the top five was unmistakably diva-heavy, driven by powerful female voices that dominated radio video and the cultural conversation. At the same time, the broader sound of the chart reflects a late 90s stylistic crossroads. R&B becoming moodier and more minimal pop, leaning softer and more intimate and genre lines quietly blurring as adult teen and club audience is all shared the same airwaves. Today we are rewinding the chart back to June 6, 1998.
