I had guessed it. Sonu dominated in 2000s decade whereas in 90s he was hardly singing in A list films except Border and Pardes and was mostly recreating Rafi hits for T series albums based on old songs and Kumar Sanu, Udit, Vinod Rathod, Abhijeet, were ruling the roost, even Sukhwinder became more popular in 98-99 while Sonu was mostly more famous as anchor of Sa re ga ma singing reality show on Zee TV in 90s.
Sonu got his A lister in 2000 although he was regular for govinda films during late 90's , but it was better for him that way imagine him being in the shoe of kumar sanu and nadeem shravan banner doing hey heyyyyyyy all the time lol , Sonu would have been ended up as monotonous singer ,, with 2000 music there has been so much for him he did every kind of songs and enlisted himself as the versatile singer of india after rafi , kishore era ...not to underrate saleem - suleman music ,,,,, i dont know any songs from 90 or 2000 which had used sargams in the song with this much beautiful way

Conclusion is that the benefit Sonu Nigam got to see his peak in 2000 was that he had sung those dholak tabla 90ish songs , and at the same time , and in contrast he had sung these very kind of hat kay songs which were only available during 2000 period ,,,,same can not be said for 90's peak day singers they were bound by the limitations of that era,,,,
