It’s already 2018, I can still remember singing along to single ladies (which came out 10 years ago! feel old yet) even though I was 12 and didn’t fully understand what “put a ring on it” meant. Here are over 50 songs, some older than others and some you will have completely forgotten about, which you need to add to your throwback playlist:
