What were you doing 20 years ago?
If you’re like us, back in 2004 you were rocking guyliner, skinny jeans (probably with a skirt or dress layered on top of it), and a LiveStrong bracelet. It was before iTunes and streaming really took off, so you were probably listening to the radio, illegally downloading songs from LimeWire, and making mix CDs for your crushes.
Or maybe you were still in diapers.
No matter where you were in 2004, these are the songs that filled your life with music and that were dominating the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Whether you were gay, straight, bi, or metrosexual, these 20 bops dominated the airwaves — and our lives!
