DON’T CALL ME BABY
MADISON AVENUE
1999
Disco was alive and well at the end of the century, and this remains a gem of its era.

I RAN (SO FAR AWAY)
A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS
1982
While the band’s cultural impact went beyond their lone hit, this is a legendary synthpop moment for a reason. It feels like speed racing.

I’M YOURS
JASON MRAZ
2008
It starts out like a little ditty, but crescendos to a near-spiritual climax without ever losing its intimacy. Take it or leave it, but it’s easy to accept why it’s actually one of the biggest hits of all time.

BAILAMOS
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS
1999
Oh, Enrique. You’ve given us some really sexy and also great pop tracks, but “Bailamos” made you a driving force of the Latin craze of the late 90s.

SAY WHAT YOU WANT
TEXAS
1997
This soulful and laidback bop understandably became Texas’ moment. Sharleen Spiteri’s voice is one of the best ever.

LOVE SONG
SARA BAREILLES
2007
Well they didn’t get what they asked for, but they got a hit. Sara Bareilles is a much more accomplished songwriter and vocalist than “Love Song,” but it is an awesome pop moment nonetheless.

YOUNGBLOOD
5 SECONDS OF SUMMER
2018
This song is masterfully executed. It’s savvy arrangement is super effective, and honestly craveable.

I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR EVERYTHING
ANDY GIBB
1977
Another non-Bee Gees-Gibb-composition – well still a Gibb, on technicality -and an absolutely genius, effortless song.

THIS HELL
RINA SAWAYAMA
2022
HYFR RINA! This giant middle finger to bad people has all the makings of an instant anthem.

KISS ME MORE
DOJA CAT FT. SZA
2021
I mean this is an earworm if there ever was one. A classic collab that lives up to what these two artists can bring.
