20 Songs That Were at the Top of the Charts in the Summer of 1996
You may be rocking out to Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" and Pink's "Just Like Fire" this Summer, but 20 years ago, things were a bit different. Brandy and Alanis Morissette were the queens of charts in the Summer of '96, along with R. Kelly, Coolio, and, of course, Hootie & The Blowfish. As much as we love the songs poised to take over Summer 2016, we'll always have a special place in our hearts for the music that was all over the radio two decades ago. Let's never forget the time in which "Macarena (Bayside Boys Remix)" was the coolest song out there. Here are the top 20 songs of July 1996, plus a Spotify playlist, for your listening pleasure.
