2007 was a great year in music. Carrie Underwood told a guy he should think twice Before He Cheats, Rihanna wanted us to stand under her Umbrella ella, ella, Avril Lavigne didn’t like your Girlfriend, but Sean Kingston thought there were still some Beautiful Girls out there and Nickelback wanted to be Rockstars.
While we were jamming to these in our friends’ cars (because we were still waiting for our own or had hand-me-downs), we couldn’t forget about the one-hit wonders we just had to download from iTunes. These hits fueled 2007 with the crunk scene, an American Idol has-been, a singer who can count, and a song that ruined Grey’s Anatomy for quite some time.
Get ready to flash back to your high school homecoming and college days with these gems, who are turning 10 this year:
