They were the songs that topped the TRL countdown on MTV every afternoon. Now Carson Daly is hosting cooking segments on The Today Show.

• Cher “Believe”

  Share

  It's Cher's last big hit. It hit #1, 28 years after her first #1.

• Ricky Martin “La Vida Loca”

  Share

  It was the song that started a Latin explosion in pop music opening the doors for Enrique Iglesias, Marc Anthony and Shakira.

• Britney Spears “Hit Me Baby One More Time”

  Share

  Long before her head-shaving stunt and Justin Timberlake break up, Britney Spears wanted to shed that image of being a Disney Channel star so she raised eyebrows with that schoolgirl outfit in the music video.
• Shania Twain “That Don’t Impress Me Much”

  Share

  That line about Brad Pitt? Shania says she put that one in there after Brad's naked photos ended up in Playgirl. Ouch.

• Christina Aguilera “Genie In A Bottle”

  Share

  Another former Disney child actress that followed Britney Spears into pop music.

• Creed “With Arms Wide Open”

  Share

  They weren't around for a long time, but for that short run they had, Creed sold out arenas wherever they went. Scott Stapp played the Creed hits this year at a show in St. Pete.
• Sugar Ray “Every Morning”

  Share

  After the success of "Fly," Sugar Ray saw the dollar signs and abandoned their original hardcore sound.

• Blink 182 “All The Small Things”

  Share

  For the girls who weren't into the boybands, Blink 182 provided some pop with guitars. They even did a boyband parody music video that was pretty spectacular.

• Santana (with Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty) “Smooth”

  Share

  This one has already snuck into the Q105 library... it's the "more" when we say "80s and more!" Carlos and Rob were big winners at the 2000 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
• Hanson “Mmm Bop”

  Share

  The band of brothers still tour, even playing their iconic teen bop anthem with a symphony when they came to St. Pete this year,

• Sisqo “Thong Song”

  Share

  It was the "Stairway To Heaven" for 90s kids. Sisqo's ode to the undergarment would be his only hit.

• Eminem “My Name Is”

  Share

  Machine Gun Kelly was just a pistol.
• Smashmouth “All Star”

  Share

  Hey now. Get your game on. Get paid.

• Macy Gray “I Try”

  Share

  That voice... you loved it or hated it!

• Lenny Kravitz “Fly Away”

  Share

  Great air guitar song. Check out President Bill Clinton, LeAnn Rimes, and Lenny Kravitz laugh during a Democratic National Committee fundraiser.
• Lou Bega “Mambo Number 5”

  Share

  Another one of those songs you couldn't escape back in the 90s! It would be Lou's first and last hit.

• TLC “No Scrubs”

  Share

  A song that wasn't even meant for TLC became their third #1. Sadly we lost Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes just a few years later.

• Jennifer Lopez “If You Had My Love”

  Share

  Back when she was still Jenny from the block.
• Backstreet Boys “I Want It That Way”

  Share

  It was the song you couldn't escape. This pic was taken 20 years ago this month at the Billboard Music Awards where the Florida boyband won Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Album Artist of the Year and Albums Artist Duo/Group of the Year.

• LFO “Summer Girls”

  Share

  They liked girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch but hold the Chinese food. Sadly two of the members of the group have already passed away.
