It was the year of the plastics, the Razr phone and the last one. We take you back in today’s pop culture rewind presented by Wendy’s new Orange Dreamsicle Frosty. Usher, Ludacris and Lil Jon had everyone doing the A town stomp when “Yeah!” it was the No. 1 song on the Hot 100, but it wasn’t his only song in the top 10. “Burn” sat at No. 4 with other R&B artists like Alicia Keys claiming the eighth spot and Beyoncé’s “Naughty Girl: climbing to six, Bey’s future hubby also made the chart at No. 9.
