The Ultimate Boy Band Countdown

These songs will cure everyone's problems.

There have been hair bands, girl groups, and southern rockers, but nothing can compare to the boy band. Because of their dance moves, eye contact, and Justin Timerlake's ramen noodle hair, boy bands have captured tween hearts since the 90s. Here is a list of what I believe are the top 20 boy band songs with videos for a very special throwback.

20. "True To Your Heart"-98 Degrees and Stevie Wonder

This song often gets overlooked since it takes place at the end of a movie during the credits. However, it is still one of the best.

19. "Incomplete"-Backstreet Boys

This song debuted at number 1 in Australia and was in the top ten in 14 countries. However, this song is very bittersweet. It would be the Backstreet Boys' last single.

18. "Step By Step"-New Kids On The Block

Highest selling single from the group, but also raised all of our standards that the group really didn't live up to. But we still love them and that's what matters.

17. "I'll Be Your Everything"-Youngstown

This one is kind of underrated. There is an original version, but also a Disney version that was featured in Inspector Gadget. Either way, it's super catchy. So, who cares?

16. "Summer Girls"-LFO

Okay, we have to give the writers credit for writing super silly lyrics such as "New Kids On The Block had a bunch of hits, Chinese food makes me sick," but it is still a great song. Definitely can give you a laugh.

15. "You Got It (The Right Stuff)"-New Kids On The Block

NKOTB definitely has the right stuff. Oh yeah, and remember how Marky Mark looks in this video?

14. "I Swear"-All-4-One

Even though it is a cover, the boys of All-4-One steal our hearts with their velvet voices and commitment.

13."As Long As You Love Me"-Backstreet Boys

Everyone should know that the Backstreet Boys will love us no matter what...well, as long as we love them.

12. "Here We Go"-NSync

If you didn't scream "NSync has got the flow," then you're not doing it right. Honestly, this song is perfect for when you are on the way to the beach with your best friends and the windows down.

11. "MMMBop"-Hanson

If I'm completely honest, then this is one of the most annoying songs on the planet, but this wouldn't be a boy band hits list if it wasn't on here.

10. "My Everything"-98 Degrees

As the second single from 98 Degrees, this song was not extremely successful, but the effort was definitely there. But the video did succeed in giving us Nick and Drew Lachey.

9. "Larger Than Life"-Backstreet Boys

Top-ten hit in 14 countries, number 25 in the US, the video holds a Guinness World Record, AND it was number one on MTV's Total Request Live. Need I say more?

8. "The Hardest Thing"-98 Degrees

Honestly, it wouldn't have been that hard if you didn't cheat. But, the song is still catchy and it deserves a spot on this list. At least you realized your mistakes. #ForgiveAndForget?

7. "Burning Up"-The Jonas Brothers

I know, I know, The Jonas Brothers. Are they really a boyband? Well yes. Yes they are. Now shut up and stare at a young Nick Jonas.

6. "I Want It That Way"-Backstreet Boys

They made tank tops and dress pants look great in this video. Fun fact of the day: whether you believe it or not, this song was inspired by a Metallica song.

5. "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)"-New Kids On The Block

A ballad that spent 6 weeks on the Top 10 and reached #1 on June 17, 1989, this song shows commitment. Forever is a long time and even if it may scare us, we have to applaud NKOTB for their devotion.

4. "I Want You Back"-NSync

They're all I ever wanted, they're all I ever needed, yeaaahhh. So, tell me what to do now, cause I want NSync back.

3. "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)"-Backstreet Boys

I love the song, but I'm still trying to figure out this music video. Still, if you don't like this song, then you need to reevaluate your life choices.

2. "Bye Bye Bye"-NSync

"Might sound crazy, but it ain't no lie, Bye, bye, bye" *drops mic*

1. "All Or Nothing"-O-Town

And here at number one we have O-Town with All or Nothing. O-Town had very few hits, but this doesn't mean that the hits they did have weren't amazing. This is quite possibly one of the most underrated songs.

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.

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.
