Description
If frosted tips show up in Times Square, without TRL to show them, do they make an impact? It's the ultimate chicken-and-the-egg question of the late '90s: Was 'Total Request Live' responsible for Britney, *NSYCN, and some of the biggest acts that still remain famous today, or was the show that launched hundreds of fender-benders on Broadway only famous because of this generation's biggest stars?It's a question Allison and Kate ponder in our latest episode, which delves into the history of 'TRL,' the daily music video countdown phenomenon hosted by Carson Daly. We find out how teen girls controlled the music industry, which big star some MTV execs wanted besides Daly, and all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans with music's most notable A-listers. Plus, we evaluate the very first top 10 list featured on 'TRL' in 1998. (One boy bander even rocks a zig-zag part.)So grab your low-rise jeans and enjoy the story of 'Total Request Live'!
