Published June 6, 2025 at 2:42 pm
Y2K was around the corner, and Canadian artists were casually dropping bangers.
These five songs ruled the airwaves in 1999, and now in 2025, they officially turn 26.
Love Song
Don’t let the title fool you. This alt-pop track blends sarcasm, oddball lyrics, and offbeat charm into something that’s “kinda like a love song,” but not really.
Artist: Sky
Release date: Jan. 11
Squeeze Toy
This bubblegum dance banger was playful, cheeky, and put you in a good mood.
Artist: The Boomtang Boys feat. Kim Esty
Release date: March 30
Sucks to Be You
Petty, catchy and a little too real. This animated song gave us the ultimate “I’m over it” anthem—complete with synth-pop sass.
Artist: Prozzäk
Release date: May 28
Steal My Sunshine
Laid-back, sun-soaked and oddly perfect. This sibling duo made summer feel like a never-ending road trip with this hit.
Artist: Len
Release date: July 22
Party’s Just Begun
Before “I’m Like a Bird,” Nelly gave us this early taste of her genre-blending magic, featured on the Brokedown Palace movie soundtrack.
Artist: Nelly Furtado
Release date: Aug.10
