Having a throwback day for Easter and wondering what everyone was listening to in early 2000s onwards! In 2005 my favourite song was 'We Belong Together' by Mariah Carey, which was of course entirely relatable to me at the age of 8.

Other favourites included:

Dilemma - Nelly and Kelly Rowland
Fuck it - Eamon
Fuck u right back - Frankie
Milkshake - Kelis
Baby cakes- 3 of a kind
Literally every single song by Busted

please give me your favourites to add to my playlist!

fragma - toca’s miracle
Mel C - I turn to you

All great ones! 2003 was a brilliant year tbh. Just remembered DB Boulevard - Point of View! Used to love the video to that song. Also 1,2 step by Ciara ft Missy Elliot - me and my sister had a dance to it haha.

I so wish I could of been a young adult in 2003! A better time

I only started liking metal when I was older around 14 (2011-ish) but loved A7X! Slipknot were always my fave though, top 3 have to be Snuff, Vermillion pt 2 and Duality!

Right after posting, my mum reminded me of Elvis vs JXL - a little less conversation, brings back such fond childhood memories. Also Junior Senior - Move your feet!

So jealous of you and everyone else in uni back then! Must of been so incredible!!

Can't believe Britney's Toxic hasn't been mentioned yet!
The entire Hot Fuss album by The Killers, Chasing Cars and light up by Snow Patrol, For My People, by Missy Elliott, Whenever, wherever, Shakira. Chemical brothers, White Stripes, there were so many. It was my uni and clubbing era. Excellent music 😄

Will always love the Killers!! Such a great band. All songs by Christina Aguilera as well!

Toxic was like the ruling hit of that time, I want it played at my funeral. In fact I think my funeral is just going to be a 5 hour long service of greatest hits from the noughties
