Calling all millennials… and Gen Z with an impeccable taste for nostalgia, you’ve got the chance to be transported back to the era when parachute pants, frosted tips, and wearing sunglasses indoors was cool. Thanks to host Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, we’re able to go back to the top of the millennium with the Pop 2000 Tour! With a totally stellar lineup of Ryan Cabrera, LFO, BMMAK, and O-Town this tour is even better than a time machine.
Hitting cities from Phoenix to Las Vegas and Minneapolis to Cleveland, the Pop 2000 Tour is guaranteed to rock in a city near you. Wanna score tickets? You can find a full list of dates and snag some for yourself on their official website. To get you hyped, here are some classics and underrated bops (or should we say… POPs?) we hope make the setlist!
‘GIrl On TV’ — LFO
‘Girl On TV‘ was released in 1999 and has been making millennial women swoon ever since. Once you get past their iconic silly lyrics like “Shoobie-do-wop and Scooby Snacks. Met a fly girl, and I can’t relax,” then you get to the goldmine of “I wished for you on a falling star” and “She’s from the city of angels like Bette Davis, James Dean and Gable. Never know what she means to me,” that still make us go weak in the knees.
Underrated POPs: ‘Baby Be Mine,’ ‘Can’t Have You,’ and ‘West Side Story’

‘Back Here’ — BBMak
Heartthrobs from across the pond, we’re not sure if it was the accents, the dreamy eyes, or knowing that they can’t let us go, but either way, BBMak made us melt. ‘Back Here’ was their debut single and is probably their most memorable to date. Singing the words every teen girl wanted to hear, we were all dancing around our rooms singing, “There’s a feeling inside I want you to know… you are the one, and I can’t let you go,” into our hairbrushes. That’s canon.
Underrated POPs: ‘Love On The Outside,’ ‘Staring Into Space,’ and ‘She’s Everything’

‘All Or Nothing’ — O-Town’
Want to make a millennial feel old? Ask them about Hit Clips. We promise they’ll tearfully take you down memory lane, talking about “the good ‘ole days,” and we’d even bet they had this song in their collection. A heartfelt love song filled with angst and longing – the best kind – ‘All Or Nothing’ quickly became one of O-Town’s most recognizable hits (besides the one we should not have been singing at ten years old! IYKYK) and an excellent karaoke show-stopper.
Underrated POPs: ‘Baby I Would,’ ‘Favorite Girl,’ ‘Shy Girl’ … and it’s not underrated, but it’s a crime not to remind you that ‘Liquid Dreams’ exists!

‘On The Way Down’ — Ryan Cabrera
Long ago (but not so long… let’s not age ourselves here,) Ryan Cabrera was a man with spikey hair, a guitar, and a dream. And he quickly charmed his way into our hearts. With ‘On The Way Down,’ not only were we served with one of the catchiest and most romantic choruses we’ve ever heard, but OGs were also here for the juicy, real-life romance with him and love interest Ashlee Simpson. The video was all over TRL, and the song was played on a loop in American Eagle stores all over the United States. You could never escape Ryan Cabrera… and you didn’t want to. What a time to be alive!
Underrated POPs: ‘Illusions,’ ‘Walking on Water,’ and ‘Find Your Way’
