Well, 2006 was 10 years ago. Let that sink in for a second.
And 10 years ago, George W. Bush was still in office, Tom Cruise was couch-jumping over Katie Holmes and fedoras came back into style with a vengeance. 2006 was full of beautiful trends and classic pop culture moments, but the best part of 2006 by far was the music. Artists ranging from Snow Patrol to Fergie scored mega hits in 2006 that everyone still jams to today. These 10 songs are turning 10 years old in 2016 and need to be celebrated ASAP.
