From the likes of Robin S' 'Show Me Love', which has been remixed and sampled over the years, including on Beyoncé's comeback hit 'Break My Soul', to Haddaway's 'What Is Love?' which has been sampled in David Guetta's latest song 'Baby Don't Hurt Me' featuring Anne-Marie and Coi Leray.
Here are some of the biggest 90s throwbacks that will get you dancing:
