REWIND: Let’s Take A Look Back At 1990!

It’s unbelievable that 1990 was 25 years ago! Looking back, it seems like a pretty archaic time. There was no internet, no cell phones and there certainly wasn’t any Netflix and chill. Still, 1990 ushered in the final decade of the 20th century, and it was pretty amazeballs in its own right. Let’s take a look back (for nostalgia’s stake) at what went down in 1990.

Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On ” is No.1 on Billboard’s Year-End Hot 100.

Which is why it was so ridiculously amazing when they came to sing at Lilian’s wedding in Bridesmaids.

Janet Jackson‘s Rhythm Nation 1814 is the number one album of the year, and now 25 years later her new album Unbreakable, just debuted at #1 on the Billboard chart.

Also MC Hammer is apparently a thing.

Ghost is the biggest movie of the year.

Which is hilarious considering the villain in the film is this man.

However, Kevin Costner‘s Dances With Wolves is apparently the Best Picture of the year.

Other iconic films of 1990 are Home Alone

and Pretty Woman

Nicole Kidman& Tom Cruise are the IT couple of the year. They married December 24, 1990.

Oh how times have changed.

Nelson Mandela is released from prison on February 11, 1990, after being incarcerated for nearly 30 years.
