10 Songs That Were Everywhere In The Late 90s, But We All Forgot About Them
Pop music is a funny thing: a song can be absolutely everywhere one minute, only to completely disappear from the public consciousness the next.
No decade made this more obvious than the 90s, where hits like these 10 songs seemed like they were absolutely inescapable, but seemed to just vanish once the millennium turned.
Fiona Apple won a Grammy for "Criminal," but when was the last time you remembered it even existed?
Garbage's "#1 Crush" was everybody's jam after it was featured in Romeo + Juliet, but we pretty much haven't heard it since!
Fun fact: "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia is actually a cover. Yeah.
This is kind of cheating because we've heard "Wonderwall" plenty of times since the 90s, except now it's hilarious instead of being sentimental.
These trigger any memories for you? Keep reading for more...
Man, I legitimately can't remember the last time I heard of Deep Blue Something.
Crazy Town imploded pretty dramatically after the 90s ended, but I'll be damned if I don't remember all the lines to "Butterfly."
Remember when t.A.T.u. were a thing? Seems so long ago now...
Whatever happened to the first four Mambos anyway? You wanna answer that one for me, Lou Bega?
It feels like only yesterday that Nine Days's "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" was in literally every teen comedy.
Is errybody in the club still getting tipssssssss? Also, has anyone seen J-Kwon?
What song do you remember from the 90s that nobody else seems to?

BSB Member Sneaks Not-So-Subtle Jab At *NSYNC Into His Anniversary Celebration
We all know that Backstreet Boys are the best boy band ever, right? I know, *NSYNC is also pretty great, and New Kids On The Block are also pretty alright, but BSB is the best. Well, it's not just us that know that, it seems as though they know it to. BSB's Brian Littrell recently celebrated his 18th wedding anniversary, and while that doesn't seem like the appropriate time to take a jab at the competition, it didn't seem to stop him. Littrell has always been known to be a bit of a goofball, so it's no surprise that he
After 15 Years Apart, BBMak Are Finally "Back Here" Again
As the 90s faded out, and the new millennium rushed forward, a lot changed. Clothes became very shiny, hair became excessively straightened, and people started to get cellphones. There was one thing that didn't change right away though, and that was that boy bands still reigned supreme. Backstreet Boys and *Nsync were obviously the two biggest groups who were constantly in a battle for the crown, but there was an entire league of boy bands that had a whole bunch of hits that a lot of us were completely obsessed with. BBMak was one of those bands. While they may
Debbie Gibson Opens Up About Being A Teen Star, And One Fan's "Dying Wish"
Debbie Gibson first came into our lives in the mid 80s with her song "Only In My Dreams." The singer/songwriter released the single in 1986, and was signed immediately. She recorded her first album in only four weeks, and managed to make her way onto the Top 40 charts. Gibson would later become the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard number-one single, which she earned for her song "Foolish Beat." She was one of the biggest names in pop music in the 80s, and her bowler hats and rolled up jeans made her the style icon
Jimmy Eat World Kinda Regret Their Band Name, Share The Story Behind It
If you hear the lyrics "It just takes some time, little girl," you probably can't help but continue off into the rest of the song, right? 'The Middle' is one of those songs that seemed to completely take over the radio for a while and still pops into all of our heads when we least expect it. I don't know how many times I've heard someone say, "Hey," only to start auto-completing their sentence in my head with, "Don't write yourself off yet." However the band recently revealed that they may have one big regret about their rise to fame,
