If you're an older millennial, or maybe even a younger one, 1999 was truly a fantastic year for music. Britney Spears, N'SYNC and Destiny's Child were conquering the globe and working on changing pop music. As someone who was only seven years old, 1999 was one of the first years where I was listening to music and actually remembering it. If you're in the same boat, there's probably quite a few songs from the 90s that define your childhood. There's maybe even a few that you still jam out to in the car. Here are five that I still love and don't dare to delete off my iPod.
1. "Genie In A Bottle" by Christina Aguilera
This song was my LITERAL jam. I used to play this entire album on repeat until I was absolutely sick of it. While most of us probably didn't have a clue what anything in this song meant, we didn't hesitate to dance and sing along. It's easy to forget that this Christina even existed, because it wasn't long before hits like "Dirrty" exploded and left this beauty in the dust.
2. "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child
Siiiigh. Long before Beyonce had the surname Carter and a ridiculously successful solo career, there was Destiny's Child. One of my personal favorites was 'Say My Name', despite not really understanding the song at all. The video, the beat, just the song was so fun and different from the rest of the music that most people I knew listened to. There's a reason Beyonce brought back the girls to sing with her at the Super Bowl; they were quite the show to see.
