February 1992 was a moment of transition. Michael Jackson doubled up with two singles in the Top 20, Nirvana was shaking the foundations of rock, and voices like Bonnie Raitt and Mariah Carey delivered ballads that defined the decade. Add in Right Said Fred’s cheeky swagger at number one, and you’ve got a chart that captured the strange, wide-open energy of the early 90s.

In this episode, Bret rewinds to a week when CDs and cassette singles lived side by side, fashion was bold, and the Cold War had just ended, leaving Gen X standing on the edge of a new world. Plus, big news: starting September 17, the Gen X countdowns move to a weekly rotation, and beginning October 1, the 90s show expands to a full Top 25 tracks each week.
