New and Improved: TOP 99.9 OF 1999

Partially inspired by today being June 6th (666 Day) to turn those 6's upside down but mostly inspired by Rob Sheffield's Top 99 of 1999 and other bloggers, we said to ourselves "we want in on this."

For comparison, here's a "Top 89 of 1999" list that we played on the radio exactly 15 summers ago: https://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2019/06/heres-our-original-top-89-songs-of-1999.html

And then 3 summers ago, we revisited the 9.9.99 VMAs for no particular reason: https://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2016/08/oh-shit-we-watched-99-vmas.html
