Preach!

And she hardly looked 35 in the video. She pulled it off.

I remember when everyone was wondering what a Hollaback girl was

Hollaback Girl didn't really seem as bad cuz she was clearly being a bit tongue in cheek with it. Fergie trying to act all hood with London Bridge was the worst

Is there a preferred reading of the Say It Right lyrics? I eventually came to interpret it as Nelly lookin for a rando in the club to take home and **** cuz she uses sex to fill some sort of emotional void, but idk if that is way off the general consensus.

I've never known what music is like in the US, because we have to deal with Canadian artists getting forcefed to us on radio (literally it's a part of Canadian law), but I remember the summer of 2005 in the US

Hollaback Girl was ****ing everywhere, my family went to California that summer and that song was all we heard. I heard We Belong Together like, once, but other than that it was all Hollaback Girl.

The true Queen of 2005

That dumb ass bitch.

PCD was basically her + backup dancers. She could have done all her solo stuff but with a few backup voices on the chorus.

Please don't make me feel old.

The era that I remember farthest back is Spiceworld

"Hollaback Girl" was everywhere. It felt like a novelty hit at times, though.

2004-2007 is when I went looking for pop girls elsewhere

Nelly's my fave out of the three 00s pop starlets but Fergie ain't never coming for this:



she came close with Meet Me Halfway tho and the Madonna inspired vocal

Hag.

iHype how did WBT clock so many weeks at #1? Did it just have a massive radio lead or something? Hollaback was definitely more powerful digitally...

This is how you make a remix. Not tacking on some out-of-place rapper just for a quick week at #1 like Katy was doing in 2011.

My best friend in high school was such a Shakira stan.
