While today's radio is great, they play the same 10 songs that just came out as top hits and quickly push last month's and maybe even the previous years' number ones to the back of the closet with the skeletons. I'm here to rescue those songs you all know and love, you may just need a refresher that they exist!

1. Wannabe - Spice Girls

I may or may not be guilty of this being my go-to karaoke song of choice

2. Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice

A classic everyone knows

3. Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners

Don't lie, this is a feel good that everyone tends to sing along together!

4. Wobble - V.I.C

The ultimate club line dance song

5. I want it that way - Backstreet Boys

Really anything from the backstreet boys honestly

6. Low - T-Pain

Apple bottom jeans anyone?

7. Something just like this - Chainsmokers

Not as much as a throwback, but still a winner that should have never left the radio

8. Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield

Many renditions have been attempted, but this will forever be the best Jessie's girl

9. Single Ladies - Beyonce

Now put ya hands up!

10. Turn Down For What - Lil Jon

Nothing

11. Bulletproof - La Roux

12. Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth

13. In Da Club - 50 Cent

Go shorty, it's your birthday...

14. Hot n Cold - Katy Perry

15. SexyBack - Justin Timberlake

16. What A Girl Wants - Christina Augilera

I can vividly remember listening to this one on my walkman

17. Say My Name - Destiny's Child

"Livia"

18. Amazed - Lonestar

19. Unwell - Matchbox Twenty

20. Good Riddance (Time of your Life) - Green Day

This one's always a slight tear jerker

21. All American Girl - Carrie Underwood

My personal favorite

So now that you are singing along in your head, and maybe even out loud — hopefully, you're a good singer if that's the case, go give these oldies but goodies some love and create a new playlist.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
