When Jennifer Lopez, isn’t acting, producing, performing, breaking the internet with her iconic looks, or showing off her beautifully blended family with fiancé Alex Rodriguez, she’s releasing the kind of bangers that have been blasting from car windows since the late ’90s.
I mean, she looks even better now than when she rocked that famous green Versace dress, which led to the invention of Google Images, FFS. Yep, J.Lo in that barely there, bohemian gown actually led Google to create one of their most useful functions. As former Google CEO and executive chairman Eric Schmidt wrote on Project Syndicate in 2015,
“People wanted more than just text. This first became apparent after the 2000 Grammy Awards, where Jennifer Lopez wore a green dress that, well, caught the world’s attention.
At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: J.Lo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born.”
Well, that’ll do me. You don’t get much more iconique than that. So to celebrate our lord and saviour, we’ve created a definitive list of J.Lo’s best songs that you should absolutely turn into a playlist. Enjoy, mates.
15. Booty ft. Iggy Azalea
Booty was undoubtable a banger and was often played in the clubs back in 2014 — lol clubs, remember those?
14. Dinero ft. DJ Khaled & Cardi B
The 2018 release of Dinero saw two Bronx Queens coming together when J.Lo and Cardi B collaborating for the first time… and it bloody slapped, okurrrr?
13. Do It Well
If you ignore the weird AF earlier 2000’s film clip, you can really get into Do It Well.
12. Dance Again ft. Pitt Bull
Featuring Mr. World Wide himself, Dance Again was a certified bop.
11. El Anillo
El Anillo made it up here for two reasons, 1) I love when J.Lo sings in Spanish, and 2) the film clip serves up some absolute looks!
10. All I Have (ft. LL Cool J)
“Allllllllllll my pride is all I have…” If you can’t get behind this banger making the top ten, you can at least get behind the early 2000’s fashion.
9. I’m Into You ft. Lil Wayne
“You got me hooked with your love controller”… Yep, issa vibe. Can we also talk about the Paul Walker doppelgänger on the beach in the film clip? HELLO!
8. Waiting for Tonight
Waiting for Tonight made the top ten purely because it takes me back to school discos and I’m about it.
7. Play
The OG, J.Lo’s debut single, Play was where our love story began.
6. On The Floor ft. Pitbull
J.Lo and Pitbull really knew how to make a clurrrrb banger.
5. Love Don’t Cost a Thing
J.LO DRIVING AROUND IN HER CONVERTIBLE, THAT’S IT, THAT’S WHY IT’S #5.
Also the breakdancing at 2.40, ICONIC.
4. Get Right
It’s the eskimo hoodie with a crop top for me.
3. I’m Real
Tag yourself: I’m J.Lo’s fingerless fishnet gloves in the music video.
2. Let’s Get Loud
I’ll admit, the whole time I was writing this it was firmly at #1, but when it came down to it nothing beats the top bop IMO.
1. Jenny From the Block
Special mention to Ben Affleck who literally kissed J.Lo’s butt in the Jenny From the Block film clip.
Look, you can @ me if you don’t agree with my rankings, but IDGAF ’cause whatever order you put them in, they’re all fkn fire.
