For many college students, traveling home on the weekends means multiple hours in the car. Something I love to do whenever I'm driving home on the weekends is to listen to good music I haven't heard in awhile. So, I present to you 15 songs perfect for a throwback playlist.
1. Destiny's Child — "Say My Name"
Seriously, no throwback playlist is complete without Destiny's Child.
Recommended for you
2. 50 Cent — "Disco Inferno"
I'm pretty sure this song is just on every single one of my playlists.
3. No Doubt — "Just a Girl"
Okay, this song rocks my world. It was featured in the 90's film Clueless, which starred Alicia Silverstone as prep princess, Cher. What? Leave this song off the playlist? UGH, as if!
4. Ace of Base — "All That She Wants"
"Oh, what a morning... It's not a day for work. It's a day for catching sun!"
5. Spice Girls — "Wannabe"
I'll tell you what I really want- this song. On every playlist. Ever.
6. TLC — "No Scrubs"
This song debuted in 1999, when I was just two months shy of my first birthday. If I wasn't crooning this legendary pop song as my first words, my mother should be disappointed. Cause I ain't no scrub.
7. Tal Bachman — "She's So High"
For some reason, I didn't discover this song until I was 16 years old, even though it debuted the month AFTER my first birthday, and was #1 on Billboard's "Heatseekers" Chart.
8. The Cure- — "Friday I'm in Love"
Thursday, I don't care about you- it's Friday, I'm in love... WITH THIS SONG. Am I right?
9. Shakira — "Hips Don't Lie"
Ever since I discovered this song as a young child, I've wanted nothing more than to be just like Shakira. IS that feasible? Can I do that? My hips don't lie.... do they?
10. Justin Timberlake — "Rock Your Body"
Okay, I have to thank my mother for this song. And "Now That's What I Call Music! 13." RIP to that CD. This song ALSO graces almost every playlist I've ever made. Thank you, Justin Timberlake, for this fantastic bop.
11. Gwen Stefani ft. Akon — "The Sweet Escape"
When this song hit the charts in 2006, it quickly became the favorite of my younger sister. Who blared it allllll the time. Oh, if we could only go back to those days... That'd be one sweet escape.
12. Britney Spears — "Oops!... I Did it Again"
Oops!... I added this song to another playlist. Sorry about it.
13. Mariah Carey — "We Belong Together"
This was my favorite song when I was seven years old. Thank you, mom, for loving Mariah Carey, and introducing me to this track. It has always been one of my favorites.
14. Jason Mraz — "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)"
This song was the remedy for 2003. Problems: begone! You don't have to worry your life away- Jason Mraz said so.
15. Nelly — "Hot 'n Herre"
When this song comes on, you dance. "With a little bit of uh, uh, and a little bit of uh, uh." It's the rules.
Here's a link to my Spotify where you can find this playlist, and others! Happy listening :)
