In rock/grunge? Yes.

[Istan4R]

Mariah is and no one else comes close

[YourMadGesty]

I guess Mariah was bigger, but Nirvana's impact and legacy eclipses hers. So idk?

[Blue Honeymoon]

No, Céline Dion (if we are talking worldwide) unarguably is.

I think Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Madonna were bigger.
Nirvana was huge and has intact legacy that's why they get new fans and tons of views.
My 15 year old sister has been a Nirvana fan for the past 2 years

Why?

I don't know about being the biggest act of the 90s but they're definitely up there as being one of the most impactful. Their albums still sound good and they keep gaining fans to this day.

MTE. Their music (Kurt Cobain tbh) is still very influential and the songs keep playing after 20 years.

No. Mariah was the biggest act to debut in the 90s.

Nirvana are overrated due to a tragic death (Jim Morrison teas). Ten came before Nevermind and they only had one massive hit. Had Kurt never passed away, they would be smaller than Pearl Jam is now.

Britney was literally 1 year of the 90s

Yet she's still considered a 90s icon. BOMT was THAT huge and THAT impactful.

OT: Definitely the biggest of their genre. However, Spice Girls were a much bigger phenomenon.

definitely
the amount of impact they had back then & still to this day is untouchable considering they only released 3 (4 if you count Incesticide) studio albums
they literally completely changed the course of music
Mariah didnt

you have no idea what youre talking about lol
Nirvana literally changed the course of music, Nevermind was huge, groundbreakingly huge, Pearl Jam sounded nothing like them so idek what ur point is with that

& bringing up Jim Morrison? what? The Doors were huge while he was alive

Mariah may have been bigger in terms of sales but the impact Nirvana had & still has on the music world far outweighs her
& thats considering the small amount of time they were even around
sales is not everything

[Jet]

Mariah was. She sold over 125 million albums in the 90's and got 14 #1's. Nobody came close to her.

[chilicheese01]

Oasis and Radiohead are better...

[Mezter]

No, but Queen Mariah sure was

[seanoh]

Yes, but that won't stop the gays from saying Mariah, Madonna (), and the only other acts they know from the 90s (hint: they only know pop girls)

[Jeiboy]

Mariah's impact >>>

Your fave pop girl collabs with rappers because of her.

Vogue
The Immaculate Collection
Blond Ambition
Ray Of Light

Sorry but Madonna's accomplishments in the 90's were just as big and impactful as Nirvana. Deal with it.

The pretentiousness of this post is unnecessary

[Su-Barbie-A]

It's only "impactful" because the singer killed himself, otherwise they wouldn't be as overrated as they are.

[PoisonPill]

Influence wise, yes
Commercially, it's Mariah

[Skins]

Yes. They are legends and hold so much impact
