Pop music is a funny thing: a song can be absolutely everywhere one minute, only to completely disappear from the public consciousness the next.
No decade made this more obvious than the 90s, where hits like these 10 songs seemed like they were absolutely inescapable, but seemed to just vanish once the millennium turned.
Fiona Apple won a Grammy for "Criminal," but when was the last time you remembered it even existed?
Garbage's "#1 Crush" was everybody's jam after it was featured in Romeo + Juliet, but we pretty much haven't heard it since!
Fun fact: "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia is actually a cover. Yeah.
This is kind of cheating because we've heard "Wonderwall" plenty of times since the 90s, except now it's hilarious instead of being sentimental.
These trigger any memories for you? Keep reading for more...
Man, I legitimately can't remember the last time I heard of Deep Blue Something.
Crazy Town imploded pretty dramatically after the 90s ended, but I'll be damned if I don't remember all the lines to "Butterfly."
Remember when t.A.T.u. were a thing? Seems so long ago now...
Whatever happened to the first four Mambos anyway? You wanna answer that one for me, Lou Bega?
It feels like only yesterday that Nine Days's "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" was in literally every teen comedy.
Is errybody in the club still getting tipssssssss? Also, has anyone seen J-Kwon?
What song do you remember from the 90s that nobody else seems to?
As the 90s faded out, and the new millennium rushed forward, a lot changed. Clothes became very shiny, hair became excessively straightened, and people started to get cellphones. There was one thing that didn't change right away though, and that was that boy bands still reigned supreme. Backstreet Boys and *Nsync were obviously the two biggest groups who were constantly in a battle for the crown, but there was an entire league of boy bands that had a whole bunch of hits that a lot of us were completely obsessed with. BBMak was one of those bands. While they may
Debbie Gibson first came into our lives in the mid 80s with her song "Only In My Dreams." The singer/songwriter released the single in 1986, and was signed immediately. She recorded her first album in only four weeks, and managed to make her way onto the Top 40 charts. Gibson would later become the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard number-one single, which she earned for her song "Foolish Beat." She was one of the biggest names in pop music in the 80s, and her bowler hats and rolled up jeans made her the style icon
It's been a wild few months for Spice Girls fans. First, we totally freaked out because they got together and hinted at a reunion, we heard the rumors of all of Victoria Beckham's conditions, then our hopes were completely dashed when she said there were no plans to tour, but reignited when they said there were other Spice Girl projects in the works. It's been months of torture for us, because we just want to know where we should set our standards. Are we getting some appearances on talk shows, or will they be doing full on concerts? We need
The Backstreet Boys are easily the best boy band to have ever existed. We all know this, we all have accepted this, and we all continue to enjoy everything they do. Case in point, their new song is a total jam and I recommend it without hesitation. However, there is a song that I didn't realize had happened, and a performance that I somehow missed last year that's now getting attention again and I'm honestly in shock. APThis year at the Country Music Awards, the Backstreet Boys were nominated for an award. Yes. The COUNTRY Music Awards not only invited
