1992: The Most Requested 90s Songs For Your Wedding Playlist

 Now more than ever modern brides and grooms who were born in the 90s are looking to add even more music from this eclectic decade of music. In many ways, the music of 1992 was a bit of a continuation of the mammoth year of 90s music we saw in 1991. For more information on some of the best songs from 1991, you'll want to read over this post for a link to that post and Spotify playlist. Grunge and other 90s alternative music was becoming more mainstream, but on the Top 40 charts, we saw that trend of dance music along with the pop up and down the Hot 100 chart. 1992 would also see the decline of many of the hair and glam metal bands that ruled the radio in the 80s, when Nirvana would release their first song in late 1991. Soft rock artists such as Richard Marx, Elton John, Genesis, and Vanessa Williams would also release some songs in the early 90s that would become perfect choices for dinner music.  Be sure to take some notes and write down some of the songs you see on this post of The Best Songs From 1992 for your wedding playlist.
