Hanson — “MMMBop” (1997)
Try not to get up and sing along while listening to this one! It’s nearly impossible, which is why “MMMBop” is the ideal addition to our earworm playlist. This was the first (and only) hit for teen brothers Hanson, and it paved the way for a slew of other young “heartthrobs” to enter the market. Stickers of their faces quickly appeared on pencil cases all over the place. Thankfully, some of the other debutantes’ debut singles featured better lyrics.

Justin Bieber — “Baby” (2010)
We’ve just discussed debut singles, and no teen heartthrob has made a bigger splash than Justin Bieber, who made his global debut with “Baby.” His hair, style, and the fact that he looked like a nine-year-old crooning about a long-lost love drew his attention to the track. It’s still one of YouTube’s most popular music videos, but Justin has matured as a person and as a musician.
