Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 25, 30, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).
It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday January 01ST 2006:
- “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” – Fall Out Boy
- “Photograph” – Nickelback
- “Gold Digger” – Kanye West
- “My Humps” – The Black Eyed Peas
- “Check On It” – Beyoncé Ft. Slim Thug
Happy New Year 2021 my friends. With this edition of RETRO we leave 2005, 1995, 1990, and 1985 behind, and we jump forward into 2006 (this week), 1996 (next week), 1991 (in 2 weeks), and 1986 (in 3 weeks). I’m looking forward to looking back at these years in pop music history.
Fall Out Boy led my chart as we flipped from 2005 to 2006. Their debut smash reached # 1 on my chart in mid-December 2005, and it stayed there for 9 weeks in a row. It’s a good durable pop-rock song that I still listen to occasionally via my iPod Shuffles at work.
Next Friday on RETRO I’ll go back 25 years ago to January 1996.
It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going RETRO with me !
