When we think of hit songs, we tend to disregard Arabic music, especially 90's\2000 Arabic music. You'd be surprised at how good the songs were pre-Haifa, who contributed to the demise of the music industry. But to be fair, the music industry in general has gone downhill since 2005. Get ready for some serious nostalgia
1. Assi El Hellani – Wani Marek Marret
If this song doesn't hold a special place in your heart, I don't know what does.
2. Abdul – Majid Abdallah
My entire life!
3. Assala Nasri – Ya Magnoon
Assala back when she was likable.
4. Abdel-Majid Abdallah – Ya tayyeb Al Galb
5. Nabil Shuail – Ma Arwa'ak
6. Kazem Al Saher – Zidini (and his entire discography)
The king of romance who captured everyone's heart.
7. Talal Salamah – Reda Walla
8. Wael Kfoury – Layl w Raad w Bard w Ree7
Excuse the rapid edits of the video
9. Nawal El Zoghby and Wael Kfoury – Min Habibi Ana
10. Ramy Ayash – Bghanila
The heartthrob who stole your heart.
11. Ramy Ayash – Ra'e3
That 90s denim outfit … Also, is it me or was he singing to a cougar?
12. Rached Al Majed
The video that abused all the music channels
13. Elissa & Ragheb Alameh – Betgheeb Betrouh
The duo that slays our lives till this day.
14. Amr Diab – Habibi ya Nour el Ein
The video that made you wanna dress up as Esmeralda and wear VERY noisy anklets to imitate the women in the video (As if! Good luck with that!)
15. Ruby – Leh bidari keda
Remember her?
16. Aline Khalaf – Wayed Wayed
17. Aline Khalaf – Ya Sababin El Shay
The dress you needed in your life
18. Ragheb Alama – Saharouny El Leil
WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO INCLUDE THOSE CREEPY BUNNY LOOKING MICE?!
19. Hisham Abbas and Hamid El Sha'ery – 3einy
If you don't know this song, you missed out on one of biggest hits of the 90s. Nicole Saba though …
20. Hisham Abbas – Nari Narein
The video that played so much that we couldn't wait for Hisham Abbas to disappear. And when he did, we forgot about him and the song.
21. Clauda Chemali – Ya habib el Rouh
22. Nawal El Zoghbi – Mandam Aleik
The Queen of Arabic music!
23. Maya Nasri – Khalini Biljaow
I wonder what happened to her.
24. Mo'een Shraif – Habibi ya amal bokra
(I think my heart just melted)
25. Fadel Shaker – Ma32oul
*Cries for eternity* WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST STICK TO SINGING? WHY? WHY?
26. Latifa – Inchalla
Our first childhood\teenage crush was on that UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS guy in her video. Where can I find one?
27. Nawal El Zoghbi – Dal3ona (Can I just include her entire discography?)
Can we please take a moment to appreciate Nawal's presurgery beauty?
No matter how much I list, it will never be enough. The list can go on forever!
