2000s pop songs that we still know and love

1. Love Story - Taylor Swift

   Taylor Swift changed the ending of Romeo and Juliet, and nobody argued, one of the greatest works of Literature. The line “Marry me” became a huge trend: people proposing on that line when she sings it live, and just a lot of TikTok trends.

   
   

2. Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus

   Fun fact, this song wasn’t even written by her but by Jessi J. I feel like this was the song that outlived her Hannah Montana era.

   
   

3. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

   This was the club anthem. Even though no one really knows the group like that, everyone knows their songs.

4. Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield

   A UK hit that resurfaced when the movie Anyone But You came out in 2023, with Unwritten as the central song throughout.

   
   

5. Toxic - Britney Spears

   Britney in a flight attendant costume doing the absolute most. Nobody asked for any of this, and yet here we are, two decades later, still losing our minds every time that opening kicks in. This is the only song she has won a Grammy for.

   
   

6. I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry

   This song was controversial when it came out, but it was still the most played on radio stations. It is a very catchy song that everyone is screaming, even if they have not experienced it.

7. Hips Don’t Lie - Shakira

   This song hit number one in over 55 countries. It went on to become the world's best-selling single of 2006. Not in a single area. all over the world. The world as a whole lost it and has never really recovered.

   
   

8. Gasolina - Daddy Yankee

   Before this song came out, Reggaeton was largely locked out of mainstream global radio. This was the most influential Reggaeton song that didn't need translation. Nobody needed to understand every word. The beat said everything.

   
   

9. SexyBack - Justin Timberlake

   Great, confidence song. If you notice, Justin Timberlake isn’t really singing in this song, but kind of talks-sings his way through it, and somehow that was enough.

   
   

10. Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson

    Such a good breakup song, especially if you are in between, who have moved on, but are still healing. This is the song that transformed Kelly Clarkson from an American Idol winner.
