I bet most of you have already experienced having their playlist on shuffle and then suddenly one particular song came on play and you feel nostalgic all of a sudden. It’s with this particular event why this article came about. There’s just something beautiful and tragic on looking back, and there’s nothing better than to visit it with music.
Here are the top picks (in no particular order) of the popular songs that will tell you, “Yes, it’s been a decade. And yep, we’re growing old.”
1. Don’t Cha – Pussycat Dolls anyone? This single was the lead track of the group’s debut album PCD released in September 2005. It received a worldwide commercial success, hitting the Billboard’s Hot 100 at 2nd place and has been on repeat in parties and afternoon jams during that time. To be blunt, the group isn’t one of the finest of the crop, yet they manage to hook the audience with this song – and that’s something to be congratulated about. However, the group did not hold, as they leave one by one until the original group completely disbanded.
2. My Humps – Yep, this track is 10 years old. You’re probably guilty of dancing to the tune of this song. Despite the repetitive, shallow, and sexual innuendos of this song, it garnered “Black Eyed Peas” awards and place on the international charts, thanks to its commercial success. Now the song was buried deep on everyone’s playlist – or worse deleted – except for the few accidental plays here and there.
3. You and Me – A good song that starts-up the year 2005. Released in January 28, the song was embraced by the Lifehouse fans. It was described as “a tender acoustic love ballad;” a perfect theme song for anyone inlove. It’s one of those songs you can’t delete and probably have no plan in doing so. Lifehouse is currently on hiatus pursuing solo careers. Their comeback? Still hoping for it.
4. Photograph – Obviously it’s not Ed Sheeran’s; it’s Nickelback’s. Despite numerous criticisms hurled in the band’s direction, the Canada-based band is as successful as the definition would allow it would be. And their single “Photograph” is one of the evidences of that success. It peaked at several international charts further fortifying the group’s place in the industry.
5. Gold Digger – The reason why Nickelback’s “Photograph” failed to peak at Hot 100 is Kanye West’s single “Gold Digger.” The single previous to the song failed and some are a bit worried on how the next track would fair. Turns out it fairs more than fine and breaks records along the way.
6. Bad Day – you’re no stranger to Daniel Powter’s Bad Day. Though a mixture of positive and negative reviews, the single made its mark among listeners. It was the most played in Europe’s radio and became one of the prominent songs used in TV ads and shows.
7. Dance, Dance – From being the butt of emo jokes to a rock band with legacy, Fall Out Boy has come a long way. Of the bands born late on 90’s to early 2000, FOB held on fast and their fans did as well. Probably because of their singles we came to love. Dance, Dance was released late 2005 and has won the band numerous nominations and awards.
