If you jammed along to music on the radio during any time from 2005 to 2015, you probably couldn't get enough of these songs. We sang and hummed along with them as they played on Top 40 stations again and again. As you skim this list, you may be hit with nostalgia or a feeling of annoyance because you played the song on your CD player a little too often.

1. Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani

Two times we've been 'round that track and this song is still the greatest.

2.Bad Day by Daniel Powder

We'd probably have a bad day if we heard this song again.

3. Umbrella by Rihanna

I don't know about you, but I'd be one happy clam if this song randomly played at one point during my day.

4. Low by Flo-Rida Featuring T-Pain

Throw on those boots with the fur and get down with this timeless tune.

5. Boom Boom Pow by The Black Eyed Peas

Honestly, any Black Eyed Peas song will give me a nice trip down nostalgia lane.

6. Tik Tok by Ke$ha

This song will forever be my anthem. No doubts about that.

7. Rolling in the Deep

If you weren't already in love with Adele's voice before hearing this song, you definitely were after hearing it.

8. Somebody that I Used to Know by Gotye Featuring Kimbra

I can't resist singing the chorus at the top of my lungs whenever this song shows up on my playlist.

9. Thrift Shop

The Kidz Bop version says "Walk up into to the club like 'What up? I gotta hit song!"' Nice.

10. Fancy by Iggy Azalea Featuring Charli XCX

Shout out to my fellow humans who still have the rap to this memorized.

Ten years ago we heard the lyrics of Hollaback Girl playing over and over in our minds. Within the ten years that passed, we hummed a number of new tunes, each of them evoking different emotions and memories, some good, and some not so good. In ten more years, we'll be looking back on these songs with the same sentiments. That, my friends, is the power of music.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
