The Best Movie Songs of the 1990s

What are the best songs found on movie soundtracks from 1990 until 1999?

The 90s issued in an era of blockbuster special effects, but did little as far changing the current music trend. Many of the blockbuster movies of its era had at least one popular mainstream hit associated with it. A few minor exceptions to this, such as Jurassic Park still managed to create a legendary score for the film.

Disney managed to land back in the top ten with some of its movies beginning with The Little Mermaid, and then Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. Although their films always featured spectacular music, they began a new trend of having popular artists sing one or more of the main songs of the film and releasing it as a single. This became lucrative for Disney as well as Christina Aguilera--she got her second big break singing "Reflections" on the Mulan CD (her first break came from being on The Mickey Mouse Show.[1]
