It almost feels like 2020 is here a little earlier than expected, and there’s no better way to deal with the denial than to blast a compilation of golden party hits from the last 20 years. Moreover, watching the 480p music videos of Justin Timberlake and Madonna are also hitting us with all types of feels.
While the criteria of what constitutes a quality party bop varies from person to person, a good way to gauge is to answer these three questions: Am I doing body rolls involuntarily ? Do I have every word of the lyrics down to a T? Would I be mad if the DJ killed the song before the chorus?
And so, here’s our list of songs that garnered a resounding “yes” to all three questions. Let’s get this party started.
