21 Songs You Won't Believe Are Turning 20 In 2021

In 2001, pop reigned supreme with chart-dominating records like Janet Jackson’s “All for You,” Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” and Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’.”

Back then, only the cool kids knew what Missy Elliott meant by her saucy incantation “get your freak on” and only the chosen could muster the stamina to keep up with Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious” dance.

Alas, what an era. We still can’t believe it’s been two whole decades since these tracks hit the airwaves — and of course, there are plenty more turning the big 2-0 this year.
