Help us select the fifty greatest songs of the 1990s in the Americas!

Q: What do Gloria Trevi, Sergio Vargas, and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs all have in common?

A: They are all possible finalists to our survey of the fifty greatest songs of the 1990s in the Americas.

In an idea inspired from a similar survey by music channel VH1, we want to compile a list of the fifty best and most definitive songs from the Americas during the decade of the 90s. Despite having our own favorites we want your help in choosing lo mejor de lo mejor from that decade.

Perhaps they were songs that you couldn’t stop hearing on the radio. Possibly it was a specific tune that you absolutely adored and will never forget. And yes it may have been an annoying song that you couldn’t get out of your mind.

Whatever your musical tastes may be all suggestions will be placed into consideration as long as they meet the following simple criteria:

  • The song must have been officially released during the decade of the 1990s.
  • Musicians can be from anywhere so as long as their music was a hit in the Americas during the 90s.
  • Only songs sung in Spanish or Portuguese.
  • No remakes of tunes originally sung in another language then converted into Spanish/Portuguese. (i.e. Christina Aguilera’s “Genio Atrapado” would be disqualified).

E-mail us with your picks before November 1st to ourlatinamerica@yahoo.com. We hope to have a list of finalists published next month where you can choose the fifty greatest songs of the 1990s in the Americas!
