What better way to make my audience feel old than by sharing a list of songs that turn a certain age in 2026? Each year, I watch TikTok videos or read articles about turning a certain age and feel old. My fellow MCDI writer Matthew Fox does rewind reviews that knock it out of the ballpark. Those lists inspired me to share the list of songs turning the big 2-5, yes, 25 years old in 2026. 

The Baltimore Ravens had their defense carry them to their first Super Bowl Championship, Wikipedia launched online, Microsoft released the XBOX, and the first-ever Apple iPod entered the world. Of course, the biggest moment of the year was everyone trying to recover from the devastation of 9/11 that still has a lasting impact on the world.
