Music today is thriving with all of the new and amazing talents that have emerged, but every once in a while, I like to take a break from The Weeknd and Justin Bieber to throw it back.
A lot of the time, we forget about the songs we grew up on, and I'm going to revisit my favorite throwback songs from my generation.
1. "Sexy Can I" - Ray J (feat. Yung Berg)
2. "Obsessed" - Mariah Carey
3. "Replay" - Iyaz
4. "In My Head" - Jason Derulo
5. "Down On Me" - Jeremih (feat. 50 Cent)
6. "Good Girls Go Bad" - Cobra Starship (feat. Leighton Meester)
7. "Buttons" - Pussycat Dolls
8. "Best Love Song" - T-Pain (feat. Chris Brown)
9. "Smack That" - Akon (feat. Eminem)
10. "No Scrubs" - TLC
11. "No Diggity" - Blackstreet (feat. Dr. Dre and Queen Pen)
I have no idea if anyone my age would even recognize the original song and not the Pitch Perfect version, but I know every word.
12. "Fallin'" - Alicia Keys
13. "Low" - Flo Rida (feat. T-Pain)
14. "Airplanes" - B.o.B (feat. Hayley Williams)
15. "Cooler Than Me" - Mike Posner
16. "Cyclone" - Baby Bash (feat. T-Pain)
17. "Lighters" - Bad Meets Evil (feat. Bruno Mars)
18. "Coming Home" - Diddy (feat. Dirty Money and Skylar Grey)
19. "Suga Suga" - Baby Bash (feat. Frankie J)
20. "Tipsy" - J-Kwon
21. "Beautiful Soul" - Jesse McCartney
22. "Hey There Delilah" - Plain White T's
23. "When I Grow Up" - Pussycat Dolls
Everyone who had Just Dance! for the Wii, could probably still do the dance if they really tried.
24. "With You" - Chris Brown
25. "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" - Soulja Boy
Most people's middle school self could vibe to this song even today.
26. "Yeah" - Usher (feat. Lil Jon and Ludacris)
27. "Beautiful Girls" - Sean Kingston
Shame on you if you can't sing this whole song.
28. "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" - Usher (feat. Pitbull)
29. "MMMBop" - Hanson
This song would normally be a little before me, but because my mom had this CD when I was a kid, this was my jam.
30. "Telephone" - Lady Gaga
31. "Bottoms Up" - Trey Songz (feat. Nicki Minaj)
32. "Down" - Jay Sean
This was the jam in 2009, my friend.
33. "Umbrella" - Rihanna
34. "My Humps" - Black Eyed Peas
35. "No Air" - Jordin Sparks (feat. Chris Brown)
36. "Irreplaceable" - Beyonce
This will always be a jam.
37. "Let Me Love You" - Mario
One of the greatest throwbacks in existence. Just saying. Some might say it's a dime plus 99 ;)
On the note of that funny pun I just threw in there, I'm going to end the list. These are just some of my personal favorites and I'm sure not everyone will like the ones I picked, but that's okay. If you have a long car ride coming up or just need something to listen to while getting ready for the day, these are good for both those, and many other things! If you would like to listen to all of these, I have made a Spotify playlist and I'll put the link down below!
