Whatever: The '90s Pop & Culture Box is a seven-disc, 130-track box set of popular music hits of the 1990s. Released by Rhino Records in 2005, the box set was based on the success of Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box , and Like Omigod! The 80s Pop Culture Box (Totally) , Rhino's box sets covering the 1970s and 1980s respectively.
Whatever includes an 86-page booklet of cultural comment, a timeline for the decade, and liner notes for the tracks included in the set. Many of the 1990s musical styles — rock, pop, rap, alternative— are represented. The collection was packaged with coffee beans and was included in Pitchfork Media's 2010 list of "five absurd CD packages". [1]
A one-hit wonder is any entity that achieves mainstream popularity, often for only one piece of work, and becomes known among the general public solely for that momentary success. The term is most commonly used in regard to music performers with only one hit single that overshadows their other work. Some artists dubbed "one-hit wonders" in a particular country had achieved success in other countries. Music artists with subsequent popular albums and hit listings are not properly considered a one-hit wonder, although artists with multiple hits have sometimes been erroneously labelled as "one-hit wonders" if one particular hit has become much more well-remembered years or decades later than their other hits. One-hit wonders usually see their popularity decreasing after their hit listing, and most often never return to hit listings with other songs or albums.
