    Guilty Pleasure Songs - Bracket

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 23, 2025 56:10


    We all have that song — the one we blast in the car with the windows up or belt out in the shower when no one's listening. In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of guilty pleasure songs — the tunes we're slightly embarrassed to love but just can't stop listening to. From cheesy pop hits to one-hit wonders and unexpected throwbacks, we're celebrating the music that makes us feel good (even if we pretend otherwise).Join us as we confess our own guilty pleasures, explore why these songs stick with us, and hear from listeners about the tracks they love to hate (or hate to love). It's all about embracing the cringe and turning up the volume.#spicegirls #labamba #europe #theoutfield #carlyraejepsen #tlc #len #vanessacarlton #smashmouth #toto #britneyspears #bizmarkie #markmarrison #nsync #taylorswift #cher #backstreetboys #survivor #magic! #therembrandts #jamesblunt #thechainsmokers #outkast #haddaway #tonibasil #ABBA #maroon5 #nickelback #sonyandcher #beegees #aha #starship
