10 Throwback Songs To Add To Your Summer Playlist

Ah, yes. Summer. As schools are starting to let out and the sunshine stays longer and longer each day, we prepare for all of the fun and exciting events that are about to begin. Whether it is a road trip in or a summer barbecue in desperate need of tunes, these classics and one hit wonders will remind you of everything you didn't know you'd need.

1. "Ironic" by Alanis Morsette

Everyone adored this classic tune when it debuted in the mid-nineties. Now it's a fan favorite and is easy to belt out in any setting.

2. "Let Me Love You" by Mario

This heartthrob appeared in the early 2000's for one of the greatest one hit wonders of R&B. Don't let the slow melody fool you-this song will put your friends on the dance floor

3. "Waterfalls" by TLC

This fun and sweet song has been around for over 20 years and continues to make an occasional appearance. Certainly this hit will be please any crowd.

4. "These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs

This '90s anthem is upbeat and fun while still allowing its listeners to remember the importance of every moment. The feel good lyrics will brighten up any great party playlist.

5. "Baby Got Back" by Sir-Mix-A-Lot

Did anyone actually forget this song? Gosh, we hope not! Play this song to get a crowd loud (and off their feet).

6. "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga

This song appeared about eight years ago and became an instant hit with the tween / teen crowd. This pop hit will surely liven up any get-together.

7. "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland

Justin Timberlake has become a household name for his musical and acting efforts, but perhaps his greatest work can be heard through this catchy tune.

8. "It wasn't me" by Shaggy ft. Rikrok

We're still trying to understand what Shaggy is saying, but nonetheless love this song.

9. "Yeah!" by Usher ft. Lil John and Ludacris

Usher has stolen our hearts and sang some of the greatest R&B hits of the last 15 years. This song is perfect for the dance floor or any road trip jam session.

10. "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind

Third Eye Blind stole the stage at the end of the '90s. "Semi-Charmed Life" is still their greatest hit and a fan favorite.

Summer is almost here and the fun is about to begin. Music always compliments fun in the sun no matter what you have planned for the day. These songs will revive your party playlist and add to any new memories you are making with your friends. I hope you have your singing voice and dancing shoes all ready to go. What are you waiting for?

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.
