- Nirvana takes out #1 with “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and gets three songs in the top 100
- Radiohead and Jeff Buckley get four songs in there each.
- Hilltop Hoods make #17 with the Nosebleed section.
- And RATM get #2 position with “Killing in the Name of”
- Quite a few Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam tracks
