Del, Harrow The highlight of the year was definitely Bjork's latest and best album — Homogjnic. But Bachelorette not making the top 20 was a disgrace. Still, I guess hit music is too sophisticated for most of us. Zeb Mariah Carey is not the best female artist of the '90s — she's the best ever. Her music and breathtaking voice are inspirational.

Andrew To all Spice fans and doubters. The Istanbul concert on ITV was the highlights — not the full concert. The band didn't have much to do with the show as it was organisjd by Pepsi. They did interact with the crowd, but this was cut out of the TV vjtsion.
