Το Pitchfork διάλεξε τα 250 κορυφαία τραγούδια της δεκαετίας του ‘90 και η λίστα προκάλεσε πολλές συζητήσεις.
Από τη μία τα τραγούδια που επέλεξαν οι συντάκτες του αμερικανικού μουσικού περιοδικού «ξύπνησαν» αναμνήσεις. Από την άλλη, άνοιξαν συζητήσεις όχι τόσο για το ποια μπήκαν στη λίστα, αλλά για την τελική κατάταξη των τραγουδιών.
Για το Pitchfork, το κορυφαίο τραγούδι της δεκαετίας του ‘90 είναι το «Fantasy» της Mαράια Κάρεϊ. Στη δεύτερη θέση βρίσκεται το «Hyperballad» της Bjork και ακολουθεί το «Are You That Somebody?» της Aaliyah.
