22. "Too Close" Next
Boing!

23. "Genie In A Bottle" Christina Aguilera
My biggest karoake hit!

24. "Bailamos" Enrique Iglesias
Remember my Antonio Banderas post? Exactly!

25. "Smooth" Rob Thomas & Santana
AWH ELSE FAWGET ABOUT IT!

Honorable Mention: "Livin' La Vida Loca." I couldn't justify including "Bailamos" AND "Smooth" AND "La Vida," despite horny hispanic guy music being one of the eighteen best types of music ever (Rob Thomas counts cuz of Santana and his wife and the fact that he's Rob Fucking Thomas - THE HONKY DONKEY SO FONKY). Speaking of which, I've got to write something about Pitbull soon. "Toma" is competing with "Since U Been Gone" as my favorite single of the year so far and M.I.A.M.I. totally makes my top 20 of 2004 in retrospect. I should have bought it earlier!

I had no idea that I missed 1999 until I read that list.


edit: I had a brain fart when compiling that list and skipped 1994. Oddly enough, the only charttopper from that boring balladful year with any chance of making the top 25 was "Here Comes The Hotstepper" (maybe "The Sign"). Ini wuz robbed and I apologize.
