“What a Girl Wants”
Another big Christina Aguilera hit is 1998’s “What a Girl Wants.” There were two versions of the song (the second was released in 1999), and it became the first song of the millennium to top the Billboard charts.

“Come On Over Baby (All I Want is You)”
We apologize if this song stays in your head again—forever. Super catchy “Come On Over (All I Want is You)” (1999) got the Latino makeover with the equally catchy “Ven Comigo (Solamente Tu)” (2000).
