1. "Chasing Pavements" by Adele
Ahhhh, 2008. It was a much simpler time, when all of the Single Ladies were putting on their best Poker Face! This was the year Beyoncé empowered single women all over the world, and Usher found love in the club.
Ten years have passed since the epic rise of Apple Bottom Jeans, and with that comes a whole roster of songs that are now officially categorized as throwbacks. Get ready to feel old as we reveal 10 songs that are turning 10 this year!
2. "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry
Although Hometown Glory may have started her career, it's follow-up, the second single, Chasing Pavements was the chill-inducing power ballad that first sent Adele up the charts.
It's hard to imagine a world before Katy Perry as, four albums deep into her career. She's given us a bunch of hits, countless looks, great music videos and is a meme on the daily.
3. "Low" by Flo Rida ft. T Pain
However, in 2008, she was a fresh face who exploded onto the music scene with the raunchy pop anthem about girl lovin'. Truly i-con-ic!
4. "7 Things" by Miley Cyrus
Hard to believe it's been a full decade since she walked into the club with "Apple Bottom jeans and boots with the fur." Let's be honest, these lines are seared into our memories until death.
About ten years ago the world fell in love with a calm and non-twerking Miley Cyrus. Her fame reached new heights when she released her first single on Just Miley, with no connection to Hannah Montana. The still amazing "7 Things" remains as a great road trip or shower scream-along song!
5. "American Boy" by Estelle ft. Kanye West
Let's not forget this anthem was inspired by ex, Nick Jonas. Oh the drama!
We are still searching for a karaoke song better than this. A London girl, an American boy, AND Will.I.Am?
6. "When I Grow Up" by The Pussycat Dolls
A timeless banger.
After taking over the world with their debut album, the Pussycat Dolls returned with a banger that gave us all high expectations about being an adult.
7. "Take a Bow" by Rihanna
With rumors of a reunion this year, 2018 may be blessed with another album just like this.
After "Umbrella" defined Rihanna as a force to be reckoned with in 2007, she re-released Good Girl Gone Bad, a year later that blessed us with more incredible songs, particularly "Disturbia" and the brilliant "Take A Bow".
8. "Live Your Life" by T.I (ft. Rihanna)
"Take A Bow" became her second UK number one and is undoubtedly the anthem to your ex-boyfriend.
While we did have Kanye and Jay-Z back in 2008, one of the biggest rappers in the world that year was the legendary T.I. With back to back hits, the most timeless of them has to be this collab with our queen, Rihanna.
9. "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay
Who could've known that sampling O-Zone's Dragostea Din Tei would work out so well?
TEARS.EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Undoubtedly one of Coldplay's best songs ever.
It sounded just as incredible when Lady Gaga covered it for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge the following year.
