screamed this like it could fix everything

these songs weren’t just hits - they defined a whole era, a thread:

if this played at the school dance, you were living a movie

she was 16 when she dropped this

the end credits of every failed relationship

this played while your crush talked about someone else

no one was touching ariana when this came out

the moment selena stopped being a disney girl and started running pop

the soundtrack to every movie trailer, highlight reel, and emotional edit

this was the soft launch for miley’s most chaotic era

this was justin’s “i’m grown now” moment

whoa thats crazy but have you heard this?

Damn. Sia was everywhere.
