This is one of The Black Eyed Peas’ best throwback songs that you wouldn’t normally think to search for and listen to. Fergie’s voice is iconic and this song is just such a vibe.

4) Rihanna – Pon de Replay

Calling all Rihanna fans, I bet you nearly forgot about this absolute jam of hers. It was one of her first most popular songs and it’ll never die. Mr DJ won’t you turn the music up?

8) Justin Timberlake – Like I Love You

Back to Mr Timberlake, from the same album he released in the early 2000’s we have Like I Love You. There are so many funky parts to this song, once you learn the words you’ll be in your element. Just wait for all the beat drops.

9) Whitney Houston – How Will I Know

She’ll forever be in our hearts as her music will continue to live on long after her. Everyone always thinks of playing I Wanna Dance With Somebody, but this one is just as good (if not better)! What you will know after listening to this song over and over is that you love it.

10) Earth, Wind & Fire – Let’s Groove

Any F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans out there would recognise this as the song ‘fat’ Monica got her groove on to at a house party in an ’80s throwback episode. Earth, Wind & Fire have some of the best throwback songs so get listening!
