TRL: December 1999
December 1999
December was… interesting. I went on vacation, ignored my duties to this website, and basically didn’t do anything. (This month, January, and most of February KILLED me.) We didn’t have any Britney till the end, but her place as the teen pop star on the countdown was MORE than made up for with Christina and Mandy. This month was COMPLETELY void of ‘N Sync (can you believe it?!), and, by the middle of the month, Backstreet too. Enjoy:
