To factor in the growing impact of multiple Asian countries where these platforms aren’t always the go-to site for music streaming, more sources have been added. The main source of data for each avenue is respectively Spotify and YouTube. Our CSPC methodology now includes both to better reflect the real popularity of each track. Streaming is made up of audio and video streams. How popular remain songs like Killing Me Softly, Ready or Not or Fu-Gee-La? !!!! DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE !!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged.After a discreet first album, the Fugees exploded with their sophomore effort The Score to become one of the most iconic groups of the 90s. Its left-field, multi-platinum success proved there was a substantial untapped audience with an appreciation for rap music but little interest in thug life. How has this album affected hip-hop?

They also turned their recording studio, The Booga Basement, into a transitional house for young Haitian refugees immigrating to the United States. They organized and performed at hip-hop charity festivals like Harlem’s Hoodshock where the proceeds were used to fund a non-profit youth summer camp in New Jersey. The multi-platinum success of The Score enabled the Fugees to increase the impact of their activism. The Score was a critical and commercial success, going 6x platinum and being considered one of hip hops greatest albums.
The result was an album that features a wide range of samples and instrumentation, with many aspects of alternative hip hop that would come to dominate the hip hop music scene in the mid-late 1990s.
