throwback thursday

It's time for my #ThrowbackThursday pick of the week! The Black Eyed Peas were HUGE in the latter part of the 2000s. They continued to crank out hit after hit, even ones that didn't make a lot of sense. "Imma Be" is a perfect example. The lyrics were pretty ridiculous and the song itself was insanely repetitive, which may be why it was #1 this week back in 2010.

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! R&B singer Joe teamed up with rapper Mystikal for "Stutter," which reached #1 this week back in 2001. I can't believe this song is THAT OLD! #TimeFlies #Classic

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! Bruno Mars had the #1 song this week back in 2011 with "Grenade," the second single from his solo debut Doo-Wops & Hooligans.

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! Usher's "U Got It Bad" was the #1 song this week waaaaaaay back in 2002.

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! Flo Rida burst onto the scene in 2007 with "Low." The collaboration with T-Pain was #1 this week EIGHT YEARS AGO, and it's as memorable now as it was then. Let's be honest, you'll probably be hearing this at a wedding ten years from now.

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! Outkast's classic "Hey Ya!" was #1 this week back in 2004! Does that make anyone else feel old???

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! Somehow, some way, D4L's "Laffy Taffy" reached #1 this week back in '06. This has to be one of the worst #1 songs in history...HOW DID WE LET THIS HAPPEN!

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! Beyonce was already a superstar by late 2008, but "Single Ladies" cemented her legacy as one of the most iconic female pop stars ever. Plus, without this video, we would've been deprived of Kanye West's infamous interruption of Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs...so there's that.

It's time for another #ThrowbackThursday jam! Mario's smash "Let Me Love You" was #1 this week back in 2004.

I feel like the joy of receiving Christmas gifts diminshes over the years, mostly because presents for adults seemingly get less exciting as we get older. In honor of Christmas Eve AND Throwback Thursday, I thought I'd reminisce about toys and gifts from my childhood.
