Ready to feel old? It's been nearly a decade since these songs hit the radio! As mind-blowing as it is to realize that such a long time has passed, it's fun to reminisce and listen to the jams of 2005. Some of these songs (like Ciara/Missy Elliot's 1,2 Step) actually came out in 2004 BUT rose to popularity the following year, which is why they're included in the list!

Hollaback Girl
Anyone else refer to this song when they're trying to spell "bananas"? LOL. Hollaback Girl dominated the airwaves for all of 2005 and I'm sure, when played today, you'd still be able to remember ALL the lyrics!

Let Me Love You
I'll admit, I was obsessed with this song when it came out. Mario always knew what to say! Right, ladies?

Since U Been Gone
Kelly Clarkson's racked up hit after hit, but did you know that Since U Been Gone is turning ten this year?! I can remember singing (screaming) along every time this song was on the radio.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" used to be the anthem to many people's lives. Ten years later, it's become a classic and timeless song.

Don't Cha
The Pussycat Dolls "Don't Cha" single, featuring Busta Rhymes, found major success in 2005. Don't Cha wish the song was still around?
