It’s hard to believe we’re already in 2019. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday girls were jamming to NSYNC, having slumber parties, and gushing over Teen magazine. Can we flip the clock back and do a Thirteen Going on Thirty thing real quick?
Seriously though, the year 2000 was a pretty iconic time for many things, music included. You’d be hard-pressed to find a 90s kid out there who doesn’t know the words to “Oops!…I Did It Again” or “Ms. Jackson”.
