Are you ready to get a little nostalgic on this fine Throwback Thursday?! We at the E! News offices like to play this little game of seeing who can remember the lyrics to old pop songs from the '90s, which got us thinking of some of the bands who made those hits...most of which we've forgotten existed at this point. For example, do you remember B*Witched and "C'est la Vie"? Or how about Omarion's boy band B2K and their club hit "Bump Bump Bump"? 3Lw and "No More"? We could go on and on, but now that we've got you hooked (just admit it!), let's take a look at some of those long-lost groups and pay tribute to the fact that music definitely peaked in...

Omarion is upset that "Post to Be", his R&B track featuring Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko, was not among the 2016 Grammy Awards nominees announced Monday morning. The former B2K frontman launched into a heated Twitter rant over the perceived snub, calling the song "one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever." He reassured fans his "moment is coming" and seemingly drew a parallel between himself and Jesus. "Even though people act like its easy to make a hit (& it's not). As an artist you look forward to being acknowledged by the game," Omarion first tweeted. "The odds have always been against me. I constantly prove you wrong. I'll consistently do great things &...

B2K will primarily be remembered as the jumping-off point for Omarion's career, but most people forget that the group did have a series of hits during their peak. And of those singles, they all bowed down to the greatness of "Bump, Bump, Bump," which ascended to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 2003.
The group — consisting of Omarion, Lil Fizz, Raz-b and J-Boog — first began to make noise in late 2001 with the single "Uh Huh." B2K's sound wasn't straight pop (they borrowed a lot from hip-hop-influenced R&B groups of the late '90s like Jagged Edge and 112), but they were presented as the urban alternative to the glut of boy bands (who were still in steady command of the pop charts even after the turn of the century). Their self-titled debut hit in early 2002 and scored the group two more singles, but their...

For the second week in a row, the top five spots on the chart are all filled by female artists, with Lady Gaga's The Fame falling...
