Happy Music Monday! For those who don't know, each year we do a special March Bracket Event on our site. This year's rules are simple. We've created four brackets ('70s, '80s, '90s and '00s) and picked sixteen one-hit wonders for each one. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday in March, you'll be able to vote via our Facebook page.
You can also play along at home with your very own bracket full of initials! We used initials because the song/artist combo didn't fit onto one page. You can find out what they all stand for on the master list right here. And you can check out other people's brackets in the comments of this thread. Play along by voting via our Facebook page every Wednesday and Friday. Follow your heart.
Today's matchups are between the one-hit wonders of the 1990s. Take a look at Scott and Kathleen doing their best alt-rock band back-of-the-album pose near our cool bracket wall.

Good luck to all the '90s one-hit wonders and have fun voting! Oh, and before we go, here are the results of the voting on The '80s.
- Toni Basil - Mickey beats Pac-Man Fever
- T'Pau - Heart & Soul beats Shake You Down
- Patti Austin & James Ingram - Baby, Come To Me beats One In A Million You
- Nena - 99 Luftballoons beats 19
- Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen beats Just The Two Of Us
- Bertie Higgins - Key Largo beats Whisper To A Scream (Birds Fly)
- Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock - It Takes Two beats Let It Whip
- Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy beats White Horse
Holy crap! It's extra mad in here! While powerhouses like Dexys and T'Pau performed as expected, somehow Bertie Higgins beat Whisper To A Scream? How in the name of all music ever did THAT even happen? And why didn't I know that in time to doctor the vote? Anyway, we'll be back on Friday to wrap up Round One with the '00s bracket and give the '90s voting results. STAY TUNED AS ROUND ONE EXCITEMENT REACHES THE PEAK!
