1. We Belong Together - Mariah Carey

You can't deny it, every time this song came on you we're thinking about your "first love " while singing with your friends.

2. Ride Wit Me - Nelly

Granted we weren't really sure what Nelly meant by smoking in the backseat, but we all scream sung "Ay must be the money"

3. 1,2 Step - Ciara

You immediately recognized the song once the beat started and dragged your BFF to the dance floor to dance

4. Knock You Down - Keri Hilson

You and your BFF's would definitely try to sing the main line and the lines following behind it all at the same time while trying to coordinate your dance moves.

5. Yeah! - Usher

This is the one song that gets everybody going. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE would be on the dance floor singing and dancing to this song.

6. Buy You A Drank - T-Pain

Even though we were all too young to drink and buy alcohol, there was something about T-Pain's voice that just got all of us moving on the dance floor

7. Gold Digger - Kayne West

Half of us only knew the beginning and the main course of the song, but there was that one kid who knew the rap and we all thought he was cool

8. Kiss Me Thru The Phone - Soulja Boy

We all had the number memorized from this song and we all tried to call it to see if Soulja Boy would actually answer the phone

9. Beautiful - Akon

Many of us thought that this song was over played, but the rest of us jammed out to it with no problem

10. Halo - Beyoncé

A dance isn't complete until one of Beyoncé's songs is played. Everyone slow danced to this song all while trying to hit all of her high notes.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
