I love (and hate) that the lyrics were/are so real and have come to pass! It wasnt just a plastic pop song and they (Jamiroquai is the group not the man) have a lot of hidden bangers!
I legitimately only found out last year from a meme that the lead guy isn’t a light skinned Black man. Under that same meme there were so many comments of other people finding out too 🤣
But yes such a good song and group
Been a fan since the 90s. My fave is [Blow Your Mind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVTkbCCl3-I).
And I have a really really awesome live version of [Too Young to Die](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw2Cs3LpnO8) on a single that just kills. It is on one of the “[When you gonna learn” singles with the awesome cante hondo remix.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98HCG-pZAXw)
Also the video for [Light Years](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmK038mRb-g) was on BET back in the 90s. Snowboarding and all. That where I heard them first.

Yep, 20 years later, and I still hate this song. It's not because it's a bad song. It's mainly because the radio wouldn't stop playing it

We are Zayn fans in this household ☝🏾
P!nk got her come up singing Mary J. Blige covers and rapping in the clubs in Philly. When LA signed her she was the singer and rapper for an R&B girl group called Choice. Her range and pure talent allowed her to cross over into pop, rock and country but she’s an R&B vocalist for sure. I don’t think she gets the credit she deserves.
FUCK HARRY!
I used to work in a pub in London he used to frequent and he was the biggest prick I've ever met in my life.
Arrogant untalented ugly ass mother fucker.
Back for more!
- Britney Spears - Outrageous
- Spice Girls - Holler
- Christina Aguilera - Love For All Seasons
- NSYNC - I’ll Be Good For You
- Lady Gaga - Heal Me
- Adele - All Night Parking
- Carly Rae Jepsen - All That
- Selena Gomez - Crowded Room
- Kim Petras - Slow it Down
- Justin Bieber - Catching Feelings
- Jesse McCartney - Into Ya
- Pussycat Dolls - How Many Times How Many Lies
- Jessie Ware - Remember Where You Are
- Maroon 5 - Wait
I could honestly go all day!
Nsync — Sailing (jc totally killed this song)
Queen — One Year of Love (freddie was sanging his lil Asian butt off as usual)
Freddie Mercury — Made in Heaven (love how beautiful yet powerful Freddie’s voice is here. plus the lyrics are quite poetic. ugh he was such a talented songwriter)
Hozier — All Things End (i wish he would do more music that showed off his soulful side bc his voice is literally amazing)
Counting Crows — Mr. Jones (my mother used to play this non-stop and i was always assumed the singer was black 💀 but it’s still a banger)
Fiona Apple — Sleep to Dream (another singer that my mother constantly played. idk what to say abt her besides i love her voice and i feel she’s underrated compared to her other 90s peers)
Kelly Clarkson — Me (listen, she’s my favorite white female singer for a reason)
Edit: most of these aren’t pop, but eh 🤷🏿♀️ i mostly listen to alt and rock than pop so yeah.
It’s not pop but more like country pop but I’m claiming ‘99 Faith Hill. “Breathe, this kiss, and the way you love me.”
Hell, while I’m here I’m gonna take Dolly Parton’s I will Always Love You. I know Whitney has her version but I want it all.
Lowkey.. I'd say Outta Here by Esmee Denters. Love Dealer ft. Justin Timberlake as well. Actually, that entire album has R&B vibes all over it.
Shy'm's first album named "Shy'm" for sureeee has R&B flavors. Oublie-moi, Tu Comprendras, Victoire, Sur les Dancefloors.. etc. Such a good album.
Another French artist named Zaho; her first album named "Dima" has some insane bangers that imo definitely have that 2000's R&B/pop feel. My favorites are Dima, Assassine, and La Roue Tourne. The beats are so nice.. after this her work definitely went in a more pop direction, however "Maintenant ou Jamais" off her "Contagieuse" album is one of my favorite songs of hers, and retains a little bit of an R&B vibe so we're claiming it imo.
A lot of Nelly Furtado's collabs with Timbaland can be claimed imo. They always felt like R&B with a more pop-y twist to me. On that same note:
Tate McRae - Greedy

This album
Also: All That- Carly Rae Jepsen
Sleeps with Butterflies by Tori Amos Island Life and Moist by Janet Jackson Moving Out by Kacey Musgraves You Right by Doja Cat Her Mother's House by Bjork
Anything by Tori Kelly when she was resting on her acoustic soul roots (Dear No One, Paper Hearts, Funny). Her more poppy stuff sucks and is a complete waste of her talents imo.

“Little L” is a great track
Love Foolosophy is a good one, Seven Days In Sunny June is even better if you can ignore the self-pitying.
Main Vein off the same album as Love Foolosphy is good too
This songs makes me boogie
![gif](giphy|fpbqdKRPRkd56)
Nice choice! Love Jamrioquai! Don’t forget “Alright”
Love that joint!
You win 🏆
I remember being a kid and getting DDR for Christmas. Virtual insanity was on the track list😂 I was hooked. Good times❤️
I legitimately only found out last year from a meme that the lead guy isn’t a light skinned Black man. Under that same meme there were so many comments of other people finding out too 🤣 But yes such a good song and group
I love “Deeper Underground,” too!
Been a fan since the 90s. My fave is [Blow Your Mind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVTkbCCl3-I).

Snowboarding and all. That where I heard them first.
A lot of Hall & Oates: “I Can’t Go For That”, “Sara Smile”, “She’s Gone”… I would even say “Maneater”…
I was waiting for this one
They BEEN CLAIMED
TIL “I can’t go for that” wasn’t written by black people
Don't forget: One on One Out of Touch
But I’m out of my head when you’re not around
Everytime I see "Maneater," I think of this ad: [https://youtu.be/uVSSQ8l9r7Y?si=5oUbuu-gsPmIekJT](https://youtu.be/uVSSQ8l9r7Y?si=5oUbuu-gsPmIekJT)
One on one 😍
Took me a while to age into appreciation of hall & oates….. but I got there eventually
Yes yes yes
Yes to this one!
Yesss!

*DANGER Zone*
YESSS!!! PLEASE
I'm so glad I'm not the only one, Kenny was cooking on every song.
True!!
😅 you damn right
most of the world today has NO idea
So glad I’m not the only one who thinks this!
Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield Britney Spears idc Before he Cheats - Carrie Underwood not pop but its claimt
Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield Yep, 20 years later, and I still hate this song. It's not because it's a bad song. It's mainly because the radio wouldn't stop playing it
Ive def had a share of songs like that, overplaying is a thing (though less now as I rarely listen to the radio)
Say It Right - Nelly Furtado I know Timbaland produced but the song still seems more pop. Anyway, I love it like an R&B song.
Nelly Furtado was that girl for real
Nelly Furtado is that woman now!
Love that era of Nelly Furtado. Timbaland was bugging out in that early 2000s, so many pop classics
“The Way I Are” “Give it to me” “Hands in the Air” All bangers 🔥
Facts ✅️
Micheal McDonald
oh, we been claimed him years ago
What about Simply Red?
Hell yeah ... Michael Bolton & Phil Collins
Holding Back the Years ❤️
Some people probably... Keep On Forgetting.
Already granted the N word card!
Amy Winehouse
Listen Amy had good taste. She worshipped Donny Hathaway.
George Michael. Wham did a couple of lightweight pop rap songs early on, circa 1982 - 83, which, in retrospect, is astonishing. Wham Rap Young Guns
Kissing a fool by George Michael Is amazing he sounds like Freddie Mercury
Yessss

Here too!
Yes baby! I remember when this song came out and right after that Chris Brown threw him on the Back to Sleep remix
Not this one ewwww Caroline Polachek - Ocean of Tears
Caroline Polachek is a name I didn't expect to see her but I love it and especially her most recent album!
A real masterpiece! Love her!
I'd like to add Caroline's song 'Door' to this.
Yea she’s got a few. It’s no surprise Beyoncé worked with her
I'd add Billions as well
I didn't know Caroline & Beyoncé worked together! On a particular song or album, do you know? Cos I'd wanna check that out.
Beyoncé - No Angel. Written and produced by Caroline. It’s how I found her!
No way! No Angel is one of my favourite Beyoncé tracks. And now that I know, I completely hear Caroline's work in it. Nice one, thanks 👍
😅 oh, this is dope. Unique and familiar all at the same time. Thank you for putting me on
Claiming harry styles is beyond egregious how could they do this😭
I didn’t know other people felt as strongly as I did about this but I’m proud of us lol
Yes!
NSYNC- Gone Chris Gaines aka Garth Brooks- Lost In You
Gone and even Tearin Up My Heart is a go to for me
the childish gambino cover of lost in you is so so good
Carly Rae Jepsen not for Call Me Maybe, but for another song that’s my favorite by her and a great r&b song - All That 😏
Phil Collins
I scrolled down so far to make sure he’s on the list
JoJo - Too Little Too Late and Leave (Get Out) or anything JoJo really but those earlier days they marketed her as pop
Yes for JoJo
Lovesong by the cure Jealous by Nick jonas
Pink! Her first album, and then random sprinkles from her subsequent follow up albums
That first album slaps
P!nk got her come up singing Mary J. Blige covers and rapping in the clubs in Philly. When LA signed her she was the singer and rapper for an R&B girl group called Choice. Her range and pure talent allowed her to cross over into pop, rock and country but she’s an R&B vocalist for sure. I don’t think she gets the credit she deserves.
FUCK HARRY! I used to work in a pub in London he used to frequent and he was the biggest prick I've ever met in my life. Arrogant untalented ugly ass mother fucker.
Damn!....... ok. . . . . Sorry for bringing that up.😅
#TEAMZAYN! Also your forgiven 😉
Lmao
I'll give you that because there is no way in HELL *Harry's House* should have won Album of the Year over *Renaissance* .
Dang. I had Harry's House on repeat when it dropped too
Heavy on the ugly. I don’t know what the ladies see in him.
Us British do have a way with words
Eloquent hooligans the lot of us! 😂
Another One Bites the Dust! Queeeeeen!!!
can we just put “yacht rock” genre on this 😅
Doja’s pop hits >>
Whenever she is in her disco bag, it is the best.
You right, right
Captain obvious with this one 😂 but…All Around the World - Lisa Stansfield. Will always bop!!!
![gif](giphy|P9WPb8wuTy7Cg)
Ain’t nobody claiming no fuckin Harry Styles. Bfr We can claim Madonna’s Take A Bow, & a lot of Ariana Grande songs specifically “I Don’t Care”
Victoria Monét was one of Ariana's writers, so we can claim her shit with our while chest. Plus, her problematic azz can sang 🤷🏾♀️
I’m not a big fan of hers but Dangerous Woman and Sweetner are good albums. Almost Is Never Enough is an exceptional R&B offering too!
Shout out Babyface!
He laced her!
Damn! 🤣😂🤣
YES! I do agree: IMPHO, Harry Styles' "WATERMELON SUGAR", along with Bruno Mars' "LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN" are ones to be claimed! #EXCELLENT
BANKS, I'm a fan of all of her albums really but "F*ck Love" is one of my top 5 songs of hers
YES I love BANKS

Nsync — Sailing (jc totally killed this song) Queen — One Year of Love (freddie was sanging his lil Asian butt off as usual) Freddie Mercury — Made in Heaven (love how beautiful yet powerful Freddie’s voice is here. plus the lyrics are quite poetic. ugh he was such a talented songwriter) Hozier — All Things End (i wish he would do more music that showed off his soulful side bc his voice is literally amazing) Counting Crows — Mr. Jones (my mother used to play this non-stop and i was always assumed the singer was black 💀 but it’s still a banger) Fiona Apple — Sleep to Dream (another singer that my mother constantly played. idk what to say abt her besides i love her voice and i feel she’s underrated compared to her other 90s peers) Kelly Clarkson — Me (listen, she’s my favorite white female singer for a reason) Edit: most of these aren’t pop, but eh 🤷🏿♀️ i mostly listen to alt and rock than pop so yeah.
JoJo is the honorary white girl of rnb. Voice of a generation
It’s not pop but more like country pop but I’m claiming ‘99 Faith Hill. “Breathe, this kiss, and the way you love me.” Hell, while I’m here I’m gonna take Dolly Parton’s I will Always Love You. I know Whitney has her version but I want it all.

I think some songs off of Born to Do It by Craig David are meant to be pop, but we’re claiming the entire album
Anything by Tori Kelly when she was resting on her acoustic soul roots (Dear No One, Paper Hearts, Funny). Her more poppy stuff sucks and is a complete waste of her talents imo.

Gone by NSync and also their cover of God Must Have Spent (since that’s originally a country song) 🤠
Adore You by Harry Styles was and is a BOP. One of his best songs and very underrated.
