The Greatest 90's Songs of All Time

As we were growing up, some of the greatest songs of all time were being played. Think this is just a coincidence? Doubtful. Looking back on it, these are the best songs from that period (sorry if some of them will get stuck in your head now):

“Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer, 1990. Once you hear this song once, you can't get out of your head. There is no way you can't dance when this song comes on.

“Black or White" by Michael Jackson, 1991. Michael Jackson's songs are all amazing, but this one was very passionate for him and one of his best songs from the album Dangerous.

“Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohn, 1991. This song may not be as famous as the others, but if you listen to it, you will definitely recognize it. It has awesome piano parts in it.

“Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. 1992. The classic line: “Oh, my, God. Becky, look at her butt."

“I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, 1992. No one can deny that they have sang this song when they are feeling great about themselves.

“What is Love" by Haddaway, 1993. “What is love? Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more" is most definitely the best part of this song.

“My Heart Will Go On" by Kenny G, 1994. This song is most known as the theme from Titanic. Can't deny that I've tried to bust out this song before, but it's out of my range.

“All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow, 1995. This song was the winner of the 1995 Grammy Record of the Year. The most famous line may be “All I wanna do is have some fun."

“Oasis" by Wonderwall, 1995. This song is a classic and may even be emotional for some people.

“Wannabe" by Spice Girls, 1996. This is the ultimate 90s song. There is no shame when you sing every single word to this song with your crew because “if you wanna be my lover, you've gotta get with my friends."

“Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera, 1997. Everyone knows this song. It's one of Aguilera's best songs of her career.

“I Want it That Way" by Backstreet Boys. 1999. We all know this song very well. We love to sing along when this song comes on.

“Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears, 1999. Britney Spears was such a big part of our childhood, how can you not love this song.

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.

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.
