We'll breakdown 1996, but you can relive all the Hot 100's number one hits year by year:
- 80s: 1980 | 1981 | 1982 | 1983 | 1984 | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989 |
- 90s: 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 | 1999 |
- 00s: 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 |
Few songs peaked at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996—but only because a select number of iconic hits kept their grasp on the top spot for weeks on end, including a particular infectious dance craze that swept the nation, and we somehow still can't seem to stop doing at weddings and school dances today.
