I’m a fan of Nelly and I was taken aback by your take on Promiscuous. The beat is so freaking catchy, the horns are a highlight of the track. Frankly, I think the back and forth from Nelly Furtado and Timberland works just fine for the song. Obviously Timberland isn’t known for his singing abilities, but his voice doesn’t sound terrible. Lastly, I’ll add that the song has held up surprisingly well in the course of two decades and the young generation still thinks it’s a bop.

Melon, your finger has strayed from the pulse if you think Nelly is no longer relevant while so many of her Loose hits have been blowing up on TikTok for at least the last year, and Give It To Me and Say It Right in particular has been showing up everywhere in remixed or sped-up forms. Her return to the stage after a 5-year hiatus at Beyond The Valley on NYE last year was such a testament to her cultural impact. It was the energetic high point of the 4-day festival, and yes I was there. While criticisms of the lyrics are valid, Promiscuous is undeniably still a banger. I work in a bar where they've been playing it every week since I started, and even in that context, it's always the energetic high point of the night. It's far from one of her better songs, but the cultural staying power is undeniable.

I am announcing myself proudly! Nelly’s album was my high school breakup soundtrack back in 2006 and I still think of my ex when I am occasionally listening to some of these songs.

[@robojimtv]

I like Nelly's music but I definitely feel like Promiscuous is overrated and her older singer songwriter stuff was more interesting. She leaned into her identity more too.

[@ricardoslash14]

Bad Day is not a great song but I'll always cherish the memory of a moment I had with a great friend, singing the chorus out loud, both absurdly drunk, lying on the floor of a party, after both got rejected

[@joshhunter6928]

anyone attending nightclubs from 2006-2010 will have vivid flashbacks of girls throwing it all the way back by the mere mention of Sexyback so it's super hard to get behind rarethony misstano on that

[@mammamiaculpa]

i agree! it’s “club sexy” not “bedroom sexy”, that being it’s like a mosh pit of ass when it gets played

[@luketaylormusic2807]

I graduated high school in 2006 and remember these tracks and corresponding music videos very vividly.

[@kush6846]

Say It Right should’ve been on billboards top ten, Nelly Furtado was a great pop singer, Loose is a great album.

[@danmering]

It's top 10 on 2007

[@birdbrain4445]

Man. Going to listen to Crazy on a whim because the name wasn't ringing a bell unlocked some memories; I remember that hook so vividly from the haze that was my childhood. Amazing track from a classic album.

[@sarawithn0h]

2006 popular music was very mid. But 2006 indie was absolutely amazing.

[@cartoonfanatic]

2006 was a great year 2006 was an insanely great year. Fishscale, Hell Hath No Fury, Donuts, Whatever People Say I Am..., Return To Cookie Mountain, Back To Black, Food & Liquor, The Eraser, St. Elsewhere, Sam's Town, The Shining, Game Theory, Silent Shout, Ys, The Greatest, Beat Konducta Vol 1-2,

Crazy that in 2005/2006 the Black Eyed Peas didn't score the top 10. I was really expecting to see a song or two from them in the top 10 in both years. I remember songs like Pump It and Don't Lie playing all the time on the radio.

[@thegregbooyah]

2006 was probably the year I was most in tune with what was going on in the music world. I got my first MP3 player (which held about 130 songs lmao). Extremely memorable year for pop music in my opinion. That being said there were a lot of songs that were worn out on me by the time 2007 rolled around. I'll listen to "You're Beautiful" 100 times before I listen to "Bad Day" or "Crazy" willingly.

[@johnnycheckpoint8431]

I consistently forget that the year 2006 existed.

[@DualityOttawa]

These videos really help justify why a lot of us hated Top 40 music in the 2000s

[@triplebasic]

That James Blunt album is pretty decent.

[@JaviEnding]

The best part of Shakira’s song, the beginning, was taken from Jerry Rivers’s “Amores como el nuestro”. A certified early 90s salsa BANGER

[@LessGo7921]

Random fact: Sacramento Kings are poised to make the playoffs this year for the first time since 2006. So hearing that def made me feel old 😂

[@phillipbell4394]

It's so wild. I'm 21, and I had some kid roast me for being "Older than KZbin". I didn't know that shit could be a roast. Goddamn.

I had to endure the Alvin the chipmunk version of Bad day when the movie came out. Lots of people used it as ringtone, just awful (I'm from Brazil, btw)

as a 10 year old, temperature and hips don’t lie were on constant repeat on the radio while at summer camp. good times

Proudly announcing myself as a Nelly Furtado fan. Folklore is an S tier album and I will throw hands at anyone who disagrees.

[@paulpascoe663]

True story: In 2007 I went to Thailand with three friends. We ended up going to a ping pong show for a laugh, but it ended up way crazier. Anyway, at one point a naked girl comes out, followed by a naked guy, who starts going down on her. The song playing...Bad Day. Then he gets on top and they start going at it. The song playing...You're Beautiful! The only regret I have now is that Anthony wasn't there with us lol

[@M.I.N.A.]

I'm just SCREAMING. Sex workers are on a different level cause no one else could do this.

[@lordinvishil]

I think it's really weird to not like Promiscuous. Maybe just a "reviewer's curse" thing
