D'Angelo was the a visionary of modern soul, from Brown Sugar, to Voodoo, to Black Messiah.

What were those tracks that made you feel his music right in your core?

Q97 — where the music changes a generation 💃🕺

2005 was the year Hollaback Girl released — did you love it as soon as you heard it, or did it take a bit of warming up to?

It's a track that you can tell it's age just by that stomp/clap style, but it's still a banger all these years later!

Q97 — where hit music never stops 📻🎶

With Rihanna busy being one of the coolest Mum's out there (and with another on the way!), we were thinking back to when everyone would go feral for a new track. So when did you first get into RiRi's music?

Not to age ourselves too much, but MTV really made us love her, even back in '05!

Q97 — non-stop hits! 📻🎶

She's back after a decade of self care! 💪

Hilary left the music industry to focus on acting and being an awesome mum; but now she's coming back to...

🎶Let the rain faaaaall dooooown, and wake my dreeeams! 🎶

That makes us wonder... When was the first time you heard ANYTHING from Hilary Duff? Lizzie Maguire on the Disney Channel was a starting point for a lot of us! (No, we're not feeling old!) 👵👴
