2008: The year when Barack Obama and Joe Biden were first elected, winning against John McCain and Sarah Palin (but not before lots of memes were created). Michael Jackson was still alive. American Idol was still popular featuring judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson with contestant David Cook winning. Disney's "Wall-E" and "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" came out. Crazy times.

Surprisingly some pretty good music also came out of that year. Although they may have come out a decade ago, these songs from the Billboard Hot 100 in 2008 are still faves that everyone can't help but sing and dance along to. These songs are perfect crowd-pleasers for long road trips or backyard barbeque parties.

Have fun listening and don't get too nostalgic!

2. Viva La Vida - Coldplay

3. So What - P!nk

4. Disturbia - Rihanna

5. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) - Beyonce

6. Love Song - Sara Bareilles

8. Pocketful of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield

9. I’m Yours - Jason Mraz

10. Shake It - Metro Station

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.
