The year is 2015 but let's be honest, it feels like the 2000's were just yesterday. Most of us were just kids, enjoying the little things like Disney Channel original movies and Saturday morning cartoons. Believe it or not, it was 2005 ten years ago, not the 90s – aka the year of Madagascar, American Idol, and the Pitt-Aniston breakup. But if there's one guilty pleasure we can all agree on it's the music of the 2000's, the years when The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, Usher, and more ruled the Billboard Top 100. You may not remember all the hits but you know the minute you hear the music then the lyrics (and memories) will come flooding back to your mind. So turn up your boom box, dance around your room like no one's watching, and enjoy this throwback hits list from 2005:
1. Mariah Carey- We Belong Together
We miss hearing your voice Mariah!

If you didn't know this song, did you really live through the 2000's?

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine...

Madonna may be old but who cares? She still looks hot and works it!

You know you were on the dance floor when this song came on.

"Rump shakin' both ways make you do a double take!"

Fierce in 2005, still fierce now! Love you Riri!

Admit it, this song was totally stuck in your head for days, but you could help loving it.

Wait, Jessica Simpson has a sister?

"If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him. Better be street if he looking at me!"
20. Fall Out Boy- Sugar We're Goin Down
Let's be honest, some of us only liked Fall Out Boy because of how cute Pete Wentz was.

We all wanted to be like The Pussycat Dolls when we grew up.

He's just a regular guy like you and me... except with the voice of an angel.
