## Resource

This week, Dave and Rob dive into the Billboard Hot 100 from June 9th, 1996, to break down one of the most chaotic and diverse charts in music history. From the hip-hop dominance of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and 2Pac to the powerhouse pop vocals of Mariah Carey and the rising tide of the "Macarena," the guys debate which summer jams hold up and which ones should stay in the 90s
