Now before you say I’m not qualified to put together such a list, let me defend myself. I was a teenager in the ‘90s, which meant every girl I dated or tried to date was comparing me to the pages of Tiger Beat Magazine. I heard all about them nonstop from all of my friends and my sister, so if there’s anyone with a wealth of knowledge when it comes to who was hot in the ‘90s, it’s me. Here are the 40 biggest teen heartthrobs of that decade.
