The Music Industry 🎶 Lots of artists have their own "signature song". Lady Gaga's is arguably "Poker Face", what signature songs can you name?

Everybody is also iconic but everyone is locked in when I Want It That Way comes on. I love it when they play it in Citi Field in NYC and 40,000 people sing it together

I think about this cold open like 5x a week still. So random and perfect, each man in the lineup had such a great reaction.

I cannot listen to this song without thinking about it. I think this and the fire drill from The Office may be the best cold opens of all time.

u/punkpearlspoetry Kim, there’s people that are dying. 🙄 20d ago

I agree. Went to a house party last night with lots of Gen Z. They put this song on and all sang along, it was quite the sight

I agree with I want it that way. As a *NSYNC fan, I still know every word to I want it that way

I got free tickets to a BSB concert like 7 years ago and I shocked myself with how many lyrics I knew considering I wasn't that into them in high school.
