90s music on classic hits stations

[stopnswop2]

Well it's 2024 now and the 90s were 30 years ago.
Now is the time to start adding these songs to stations (not experimenting in 2016), but alot of PD's don't seem to have any clue as to what they are doing and just add random songs with zero thought put into it.

So here is what I would do for a start. Here is a 160 song playlist that can be mixed in with the 70s and 80s music, or played on it's own in order.
I put a lot of thought into this.
Late 90s teen bop and rap/hip hop is mostly not included and should slowly be added in as the decade goes on. The few I did include I thought about pretty carefully though.

I've heard hear Third Eye Blind, Blink 182, Smash Mouth, Fountains of Wayne, among others on 103.9 The Fox in Saginaw.

Had no idea I reached that "age bracket" LOL

The Fox's sister station, 93.5 WHMI, has a '90s at 9 feature. I also have heard songs as recent as Pharrell Williams' "Happy" on that station in the past, though that was before Krol bought them and moved them into a more typical Classic Hits format.

Local Radio Networks' Classic Hits format is heard on 99.9 The Wave up north. They are still centered in the '80s but play maybe two or three '90s cuts an hour. Here's a sample:

Because the Night - 10,000 Maniacs
Opposites Attract - Paula Abdul (peaked in '90 although it debuted in '89)
All That She Wants - Ace of Base
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith
Can't Stop - After 7
Baby I Love Your Way - Big Mountain
Always Be My Baby - Mariah Carey
Believe - Cher
Life Is a HIghway - Tom Cochrane
Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn
Mr. Jones - Counting Crows
Dreams - Cranberries
Groove Is in the Heart - Deee-Lite
Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
Ordinary World - Duran Duran
Every Heartbeat - Amy Grant
When I Come Around - Green Day
What Is Love - Haddaway
I Go to Extremes - Billy Joel
Right Here, Right Now - Jesus Jones
I Love You Always Forever - Donna Lewis
I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) - Meat Loaf
Black or White - Michael Jackson
Ironic - Alanis Morissette
Don't Speak - No Doubt
How Bizarre - OMC
I'll Stand by You - Pretenders
Losing My Religion - R.E.M.

Didn't know The Wave is mostly 80s.

When I was a kid it was 60s and early/mid-70s.
