Miley Cyrus – ‘Party in the USA’

Miley Cyrus was the innocent girl next door known as Disney’s Hannah Montana before she became the world’s most renowned twerker. Miley’s transitional album from Disney star to mature artist was ‘The Time of Our Lives,’ and the jubilant party song was indicative of the edgy vocalist she would later become. The song promptly reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a No. 1 radio success in the United States. ‘Party in the United States’? When this song became stuck in people’s heads, that’s exactly what it became.

Aqua – ‘Barbie Girl’

‘Barbie Girl,’ by Danish band Aqua, became a worldwide smash in 1997, and owing to this bubblegum earworm, people were singing along to lead singer Lene Nystrm’s high pitched vocals incessantly. “I’m a Barbie girl / Living in a Barbie world / It’s amazing.” For some, it’s fantastic, but for the rest of us, it’s an impossibility to get out of our thoughts. Mattel, the toy business that owns the Barbie property, has filed a copyright infringement action. The lawsuit was dismissed, much to the dismay of many, and the song became an indelible part of ’90s pop culture.
