Throwback Thursday : What were we listening to 10 years ago ?

We have survived the first week of 2014 which means we are officially into the new year and ready for some great new music. However, it's always fun to reminisce and seeing as it's Throwback Thursday, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some songs that will be turning 10 this year.

Christina Milian ft. Joe Budden - Whatever You Want
It's a shame that Christina is no longer an R'n'B princess but at least she hasn't completely fallen off the radar thanks to Dancing With The Stars and The Voice.
As for Joe Budden, well ten years later he is less known for his music and more fore his antics on Love and Hip-Hop.


Outkast - Roses
It has just been announced that Outkast will be reuniting at Coachella to headline the first day of performances. Great timing since one of their best tracks will be celebrating a decade of success.


Kanye West - All Falls Down
Wait, so that means Kanye has only been releasing albums, making headlines and in the mainstream industry for ten years. Anyone would think he has been doing this since the 80s, the way he has built himself up to be a 'Jesus' of music and an icon.


Terror Squad - Lean Back
Ten years ago we were all doing the lean back...and now the world is twerking.


Ciara - Goodies
Wait, so that means Ciara has been in the industry just as long as Kanye and she doesn't have even half the success, recognition or ego. Maybe longevity of a music career really doesn't have much of an impact on status and respect.


Britney Spears - Toxic
But it feels like it was only yesterday! Before the meltdown and the madness that now surrounds Britney, Toxic was the height of her career and possibly the biggest track she has released to date.


Jojo - Leave
In 2004, Jojo was the teen prodigy with a promising music career ahead of her, almost the Miley Cyrus of her day but with less controversy. Now, in 2014, Jojo is still struggling just to get her third album released and make herself relevant again.


Beyonce - Naughty Girl
Whereas for others, things haven't really changed all that much. Back in 20014, Beyonce was flying solo from DC, looking hot, making amazing music and dominating the charts. The only difference now is that she is the Queen of music with a child and equally brilliant husband by her side.
