Wanna feel old? These songs came out 20 years ago

This good-natured single seemed to be designed by a marketing company, as it has been constantly used in advertising. Well played because there are a lot of bills to pay.

From when Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams ruled the world with their R&B and soul sounds. A year later, they broke up.

This song was the highest chart-topper in the band's history on the Hot 100 Billboard, reaching number 18. At the time, no one could have imagined that Taylor Hawkins would pass away in 2022.

In recent years, all Mariah Carey has had to do is be active the last two months of the year and recycle her ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ to earn 3 million dollars per annum. But 20 years ago, she scored a smash hit with a memorable video clip with Wentworth Miller, yes, the star of ‘Prison Break’.

James Blunt's song was a beautiful, hypnotic ballad and featured at the entrance of millions of weddings around the world. The problem? It got so much airplay on radios around the world that the world ended up rejecting it unfairly.

'She Will Be Loved' was the third single from their first album and the ballad that demonstrated their wide range and quality as songwriters. The music video was also talked about at length.

Madonna's umpteenth reinvention led to an unexpected revisionist album that caused a sensation among her millions of fans... and even those who weren't. Her ‘Hang Up’ became one of her anthems and took the world by storm.

'The Pussycat Dolls' debut as a group couldn't have been more successful, although it had one drawback: they set the bar so high that it was too hard for them to even match it.

It was the first single from the Canadian band's fifth album, which, with the passing of time, has pretty much fallen into oblivion. Saying that, it is true that their alternative rock has long since given way to other styles in the charts.

It was the fourth single from the band's seventh album, a ballad that Billie Joe Armstrong dedicated to his father, who died in 1982 and tells listeners how his life has gone since then. Undoubtedly, one of the band's most recognisable and loved songs.

It was the most prominent hit from the Scottish band's second album and their most recognisable song to date.

This combination of hip-hop and electronic music lived up to the title's warning and made millions of people lose control. Missy Elliott's live performances of ‘Lose Control’ are absolutely insane, in the best sense of the word.

Of all the groups that will appear on this list, Coldplay can boast of being one of the few that remains united and having the same levels of fame as in 2005, when they swept the world with this smash hit.

Yes, one of Kanye West's most recognisable hits was performed alongside Jamie Foxx who went from winning an Oscar to topping the Billboard Hot 100 in style.

The Gorillaz project surprised everyone, but thanks to songs like ‘Feel Good Inc.’, it has been remembered (and danced to!) for years.

This hit is back from when the Black Eyed Peas were hitting hard and taking their funky pop style to all corners of the world.

Shakira has grown a lot as a global artist since then and, perhaps for that reason, this song she shared with Alejandro Sanz has been forgotten, but it is one of her most danceable and catchy songs.

After a two-year hiatus, the boyband got back together again and did so with this single, wanting to break with their teenage image of the 90s. They succeeded, partly thanks to a change of style that is clear in this photo from 2005, where they look like five parents going to pick up their children from nursery school.

This combination of pop, dancehall and R&B - with hints of reggae and reggaeton - was Rihanna's first single at the age of 17. After this smash hit, the artist signed a six-album deal with Def Jam Recordings.

Perhaps the catchiest song on the list. One of those songs that everyone knows but many people can't place the singer. Well, it's by Akon.
