1The Best Hits from the 1990s
Tu m’aimes-tu? (Richard Desjardins)
This sad ballad was a great song to sing around a campfire during the summer time or when you were going through the worst breakup of your life. There’s nothing like belting out a great poetic tune when you’re feeling sad.
1990 (Jean Leloup)
This fast-beat song is Quebec’s 1990 anthem. The music bad boy Jean Leloup know how to write a fun but socially charged song. Expressing his thoughts on the new age of technology, and makes everyone dance. One of the truest hits from the 1990’s.
La rue Principale (Les Colocs)
This song is fun and full of harmonica and music you’d hear in a far west movie. Even though the song is actually a hate song about a small town’s decline since they added a shopping center and a McDonald’s, it is still upbeat and cheeky.
Seigneur (Kevin Parent)

Another very sad ballad, Kevin Parent’s Seigneur is a beautiful song about morality. Enjoy listening to this song in your car during a long road trip or alone in your room if you’re feeling nostalgic.
N’importe quoi (Éric Lapointe)
You’ll have to take the tissues out again for this one! The Quebec rocker is one of the most famous and loved singers in this Francophone province and we bet you’ll want to be singing along when you listen to him belt out his songs.
Sèche tes pleurs (Daniel Bélanger)
His beautiful voice and his beautiful melody is all he needs. A great storyteller, Daniel Bélanger will lull you to sleep (in a good way!).
Pour que tu m’aimes encore (Céline Dion)
This woman does not need an introduction. Celine Dion is the queen of Quebec music and some of her biggest hits are from the 90s so it’s no surprise she’s part of this list. Her beautiful voice and this sad melody is another perfect breakup song.
Animal (France D’Amour)
Now, for something a little bit more hard rock! France D’Amour still has the 80s hair and look but we love her animalistic song that is perfect for a party or for a night between the sheets!
Maudit bonheur (Michel Rivard)
You can’t get tired of these hits from the 1990’s… This feel-good song is all about loving and being loved. Belt this one out during moments of happiness with friends or a specific loved one.
Le saule (Isabelle Boulay)
It seems as though the 90s were mostly filled with sad ballads because this is another sad but beautiful song.
And if you’re curious about what the Quebecers were listening to before that, here are the best hits from the 1980’s.
