Ranking 'NSYNC's Top 10 Best Songs

I’m still not quite over their 2002 breakup.

Ranking 'NSYNC's Top 10 Best Songs
NSYNC Peru
  1. "Tearin’ Up My Heart." It was released as the second single of their debut album 18 years ago, but I still love belting out the words at the top of my lungs while I’m driving. It takes the #1 spot because it’s one of the first 'NSYNC songs I remember listening to on repeat for hours.
  2. "Just Got Paid." This song applies to my life every other Friday, and I honestly play it in my head every time I grab my paycheck on a Friday afternoon. And after 15 years, I have finally nailed Justin’s rap which brings me a little too much happiness.
  3. "Bye Bye Bye." Probably one of the only 'NSYNC songs that I still hear in bars on a weekly basis, it had to make the list. Plus, who doesn’t love doing the ‘Bye Bye Bye’ dance?
  4. "It Makes Me Ill." It makes the top five mostly because I can still remember how much I loved the performance of it when 'NSYNC aired a concert at Madison Square Garden on HBO in 2000. I recorded it on a VCR tape and watched them dance around in lab coats at least 100 times.
  5. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays." Nothing gets me in the holiday spirit like watching Elf and listening to 'NSYNC's Christmas album. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" is actually one of my favorite Christmas songs, as well.
  6. "Digital Get Down." While I had no idea what a digital get down was when this song came out on the "No Strings Attached" album, I absolutely loved this song. Looking back, my mom was probably horrified to hear her six and nine-year-old daughters singing about “gettin’ nasty nasty” and “freaky deaky”, but the humor in that is what makes it one of my favorites today.
  7. "Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)." This song didn’t do as well as most of 'NSYNC's other songs, but I always loved how different it was from many of their other hits because Chris takes the lead on the first verse.
  8. "Space Cowboy." In my opinion this one of 'NSYNCs most underrated works of art -- it, and other amazing gems like "It Makes Me Ill" and "Digital Get Down" did not make "The Essential" compilation album released in 2014.
  9. "This I Promise You." Another song made particularly memorable for me because of the HBO airing when part of the stage disconnected and drove through the aisles of the Garden as they sang this. If you haven’t seen it, you can watch it at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj6LX_8gvXY&autoplay=1 and wish you were there, too.
  10. "Dirty Pop." This is a fun, fast-paced song that can still get me ready for any pre-game. It’s also my favorite song from their final album, although my fingers are still crossed for a reunion album/tour.

If you have a spare hour and a half, you can watch the entire HBO special (no VCR tape necessary, nowadays).

Have fun reminiscing on 2000s fashion, Justin’s hair, beautifully coordinated choreography, and musical perfection.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
