Check out the gallery of 12 songs that are 12 years old in 2020:
Beyoncé: 'Single Ladies'
'Single Ladies' is undoubtedly one of the catchiest pop tunes of the last decade! Who can forget that famous dance?!
Katy Perry: 'I Kissed A Girl'
Katy Perry announced herself into the music charts when she dropped 'I Kissed A Girl' in 2008. Being the lead single from her debut album 'One Of The Boys', Katy revealed the song was about 'the magical beauty of a woman'.
Taylor Swift: 'Love Story'
These days Taylor releases massive pop tunes such as 'Blank Space' and 'Look What You Made Me Do', but back in 2008 the singer's country roots gave her major success, including this amazing single 'Love Story'.
Lady Gaga: 'Just Dance'
Unbelievably it's been 12 years since pop princess Lady Gaga first made waves in the music industry. She released her debut single 'Just Dance' in 2008 and the rest is history.
Adele: 'Chasing Pavements'
Before the days of 'Hello' and 'Rolling In The Deep', a young Adele showed off her incredible vocals to the world in her track 'Chasing Pavements'. What a classic!
Jonas Brothers: 'Burnin' Up'
Before they went their separate ways, the Jonas Brothers had major success as a group. We still know the words to this classic from Kevin, Nick and Joe 12 years later!
Britney Spears: 'Womanizer'
Britney Spears continued to release amazing pop tunes and 2008 was no exception when she dropped 'Womanizer' for her fans.
Kings Of Leon: 'Sex On Fire'
Kings Of Leon's 'Sex On Fire' was one of the biggest songs of the year back in 2008, and with its catchy lyrics it's still a firm favourite today.
P!nk: 'So What'
P!nk dropped her amazing track 'So What' in 2008 from her album 'Funhouse' and the video certainly lived up to expectations!
Duffy: 'Mercy'
All together now... "I'm begging you for Mercy..." The catchy track was taken off Duffy's 2008 best selling album 'Rockferry'.
Girls Aloud: 'The Promise'
This catchy pop tune became Girls Aloud's fourth Number 1 and it also bagged them their first ever BRIT Award when it picked up 'Best British Single' in 2009.
Ne-Yo: 'Miss Independent'
Teaming up with amazing producer Stargate, Ne-Yo's track 'Miss Independent' had all the ingredients to be a lasting pop hit!
