21 Songs That You Probably, Definitely Blasted on Your iPod in Summer of 2006

There may be a lot of sweet jams on the radio this Summer, but the early '00s will always be near and dear to our hearts. Who could forget Christina Aguilera's epic Back to Basics era and Nick Lachey's solo career? While music has certainly changed a lot since then, some things are actually quite the same. Rihanna is still killing it, and Beyoncé is at the top of the charts with her new album Lemonade. If you're looking for something different to blast on your radio this season, relive some of the best hits from the Summer of 2006 (or the Summer of '96!), complete with a handy Spotify playlist at the end for your listening pleasure.
