While most millennials (us at TGJ included) are still grappling with the fact that 2005 was really 20 years ago, the good folks at Billboard decided to give us a painful reminder by compiling the “Top 100 Songs of 2005.”

Commemorating what they called one of the hugest years in popular music, the staff gave a nod to 2005’s most memorable movers and shakers on the Hot 100 across all genres including Rap, Pop, Rock, Country, and beyond.

Expectedly, massive hits like Mary J. Blige‘s ‘Be Without You,’ Mariah Carey‘s ‘We Belong Together,’ and Madonna‘s ‘Hung Up’ made the cut. However, their positioning on the critical tally was more than unexpected.

Look inside to see where your favorite ladies ranked on Billboard’s latest polarizing countdown.
