1. I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys:

"I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys is an iconic '90s pop anthem that continues to get attract new fans every day (let's be honest, the parents sing it to their kids when it comes on the radio). Its catchy chorus, romantic lyrics, and signature harmonies make it hard to resist singing along.

"Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves is an infectious guilty pleasure song that exudes pure joy and optimism. Its upbeat melody, catchy hooks, and uplifting lyrics make it impossible to resist singing and dancing along. This guilty pleasure anthem brings a burst of sunshine to any playlist!

4. "MMMBop" by Hanson:

Hanson's "MMMBop" took the world by storm in the late '90s with its infectious pop sound and earworm chorus. Despite its bubble gum reputation, the song remains a guilty pleasure favourite, evoking nostalgic memories and showcasing the undeniable catchiness of pop music.
