1. Low by Flo Rida
Though I had no apple bottom jeans, nor boots with the fur, when I first heard this song at a school dance, I absolutely lost my mind.
2. Cyclone by Baby Bash ft. T-Pain
I'm not even sure what "moving your body like a cyclone" means, but this song is fire.
3. Cupid Shuffle by Cupid/Cha Cha Slide by Mr. C The Slide Man
These songs were especially helpful for those of us with two left feet and no sense of rhythm.
4. Crank That (Soulja Boy) by Soulja Boy
You might deny it, but you know every move to this song.
5. Dynamite by Taio Cruz
I'm not sure where Taio Cruz went, but this song immortalized him at every middle school dance across the country.
6. Boom Boom Pow by The Black Eyed Peas
When this anthem comes on the radio, you know it's about to get lit in your car.
7. The Way I Are by Timbaland
I don't know a single word to this song except, "I ain't got no money." But this beat is amazing.
8. Buy You A Drank by T-Pain
Oh, 2009; a time when we thought attuning everything was the best thing we'd ever heard. What a time it was to be alive.
9. Love Lockdown by Kanye West
Kanye has changed a lot over the years. Some are still fans, and some not so much. However, when Love Lockdown comes on the radio, we can all agree it's a timeless hit.
10. Ridin Solo by Jason Derulo
This song made me want to break up with my boyfriend, just so that I could bump it 24/7.
11. Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo
This song has been the butt end of a million jokes, but you have to admit you love it, even a little bit.
12. Leavin by Jesse McCartney
This song made every 15-year-old Jesse McCartney fanatic scream. (Jesse, I'll still leave anyone for you if you just sing to me like that.)
13. Crush by David Archuleta
Don't worry, David. Even if everyone else forgot about you, I know my crush will never go away.
14. No Air by Jordin Sparks ft. Chris Brown
This song asked the questions no one has even thought about yet. Without air, how can we breath? I need to know pls.
15. Bleeding Love by Liona Lewis
"You cut me open and I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding blood." Those are the right lyrics, right?
16. Whatever You Like by T.I.
This is smart marketing. Rather than targeting a specific audience, T.I. just tells his listeners that they can literally just have whatever they individually want. Well played!
17. Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne
Seriously, if you don't lose your mind when you hear this song, you may need to see a doctor.
18. Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy
Every angsty kid could finally hear one of their faves on the radio regularly when this song came out, myself included.

This song was a breakthrough in both Britney's career and pop music in general, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.
20. Bye, Bye, Bye by N*SYNC
Every millennial, male or female, can recite this song word for word poetically. It's the ultimate "90's Kid Certification" test.
21. Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake
Once he was done with N8SYNC, he only got better. And, he brought sexy back. You could say is resume is pretty impressive.
22. Scrubs by TLC
Every girl has blared this in their car aggressively after a bad break up. It's the ultimate jam.
23. Hips Don't Lie by Shakira
Shakira made me proud to be a curvy girl WITH HIPS THAT ARE INCAPABLE OF LYING. Her moves are almost as fire as her incredible voice.
24. Say My Name by Destiny's Child
Not only does this song feature my queen, Beyonce, but it's so sassy that I just can't help but love it.
25. Yeah! by Usher ft. Lil Jon, Ludacris
The great thing about this song is that the only word you need to know is one a basic 2-year-old would know: yeah!
