Chart data: ARIA Top 100, 1990–2010. Stream counts sourced from Spotify, October 2026. Rankings calculated within each year.

*This project and the data within has been developed with a bit of curiosity and a lot of Claude and Lovable. Don't rely on it for anything more than nostalgia and arguments with your mates about which songs were overrated/underrated.
