Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.
So, just as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’ allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.
On this #FBF we press play on splash hit ‘Waterfalls,’ the now signature song for R&B trio TLC. Giving the girls the second #1 hit of their careers, the tune – found aboard their top-selling ‘CrazySexyCool’ album – notched an impressive 7 week reign atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995.
This week (that year) would be its last roost on the perch of the Hot 100 for the songbirds of TLC as, just one week later, they would be kissed goodbye by crooner Seal‘s signature hit ‘Kiss From a Rose.’
Check below to see what other familiar faces you see in the top 20 this week in 1995:

Brings back memories… I was three but still love a lot of these songs…
TLCSUS THE BIGGEST SELLING GIRL GROUP OF ALL TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
Such a great time. Some of these TGJ trolls weren’t even born yet. I know I was (two years prior lol). I am still in LOVE with “Waterfalls” so ICONIC! And Mokenstef was slaying for that one song of theirs!!! I wish music was like this again. 🙁
Hey TeamTinashe just wanna let you know that I’m over the whole cici vs tinashe beef also I sincerely apologize for my comments that I made.
Weak h**. No one like a pu.ssy.
This site needs to stop redirecting me to advertisements!!!
Urban music was dominating them charts back then
Yeah. Now it’s all kids acting urban.
This site needs to stop redirecting me to ads!!!
It’s ridiculous I can’t even go on this page when I use my mobile all I get are ads.
I can’t feel my face slaughters all those 90 songs just saying
????
Ha how consumers’ taste in music has gone downhill. I miss the 90’s. The best pop music was that era.
Come on Monica yas.
9 of the top 10 are black wow
And my gen, the gen x’ers, are supposedly more racist.
lol
That Top 10 is EVERYTHING!! Monica, TLC, Biggie, Vanessa Williams?!! So nostalgic. I was 6 years old and remember hearin all of these songs on the radio. *sigh*
I’m gen x and don’t find it nostalgic at all. It’s funny that it is to people who didn’t properly grow up with it.
What does “didn’t properly grow up with it” mean??
Wow this chart slays!
Waterfalls is a classic!! CrazySêxyCool is one of the best R&B albums of all time. They are the only R&B group to actually address all of the hush hush topics that the youth were going through (They sing about unprotected sêx and gun crime in ‘Waterfalls’, the sing about suicidal thoughts in ‘Sumthin Wicked This Way Comes’, untrustworthy friends in ‘Case of the Fake People’, and unfaithful relationships in ‘Creep’). Adults of the time wanted to discuss these things with young people but couldn’t get through to them, however TLC’s music really broke down these barriers.
PREACH!!!!
Today’s charts are horrible. I get a headache just by looking at it.
That was the golden age for real R&B
Such a major difference compared to today’s fiasco. Look at how R&B especially, topped the charts *sigh*
Tlc & Monica ????
Another proof of how it all went downhill starting in 2000 or so. Love these posts.
And love the #2 on that chart by Seal 🙂
I’m afraid there will never be another period like this where there was such a wide range of music with substance, integrity, and great sound. I saw TLC perform “Waterfalls” on the Main Event tour this year and it was everything I had been waiting for.
Tlc is a great group
Redman in “MTV Cribs Retro Rewind. Unlike most of the sprawling mansions profiled on the show, Redman’s condo was fairly average sized, and almost completely devoid of the luxe trappings the show typically spotlighted.
