Throwing it back to 2007

1Xtra's Throwback Thursday

Available for 14 days

We’re throwing it back to 2007 — the year the iPhone dropped, Soulja Boy had us cranking that, and Rihanna shut down the charts with Umbrella. This week’s Throwback Thursday is straight nostalgia. From Bluetooth bangers to Channel U classics, these are the tunes that ruled your iPod and every house party. Expect big tracks from Rihanna, Timbaland, Alicia Keys, Fergie and Chris Brown, plus UK legends like Skepta, Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Leona Lewis. Whether you were sending ringtones over infrared or coding your Bebo skin, this is the soundtrack to your 2007. Listen now on BBC Sounds. Heading abroad? The app works overseas for around a month. Outside the UK? Stream 1Xtra live and explore all BBC stations at bbc.com/audio. Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 1Xtra.
