Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera - 'Nobody Wants to Be Lonely'

There are songs that for one reason or another just stick with you. They might have not been big hits, or they may have been massive hits, but something about them makes them special.

We’re going to start featuring some of those songs that we still can’t get enough of as a Pop Music Flashback.

To kick things off, we’re going back to the year 2001. “Nobody Wants to Be Lonely” was the second single from Ricky Martin’s second English album, Sound Loaded.

Martin also recorded a Spanish version of the single, entitled “Sólo Quiero Amarte,” but it was the re-recorded duet version of the song was also recorded featuring Christina Aguilera that became a worldwide hit.

Ricky and Christina were both at the height of their pop careers, and the song peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

I was obsessed with this the song, primarily because I was obsessed with Ricky Martin and his swagger.
