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!
1. 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!
2. 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?
