A wise member of N'SYNC once sang, "What goes around, comes back around." Turns out Justin wasn't just talking about no-good cheaters, but pop stars! Yup, that's right, the hitmakers of today are just reincarnations of yesterday. Check out our list of current chart-toppers and their blast from the past retro-doppelgangers that will make your head spin right-round like a record baby.
Gotye / Peter Gabriel
Gotye is somebody that we used to know... and by somebody, we mean Peter Gabriel. Right down to their love of stop-motion music videos that feature way too many close-ups of their faces.
fun. / Queen
Somewhere, Freddy Mercury is belting out Fun.'s youthful proclamations of awesomeness along with the rest of us. Twenty-somethings in bars have been waiting for a new anthem for a long time, and they finally got it.
Katy Perry / Cindy Lauper
Hair color chameleons and fashion daredevils, these two are pop soul sisters. Girls always just want to have fun.
LMFAO / Right Said Fred
If you thought bros were a recent phenomenon, think again. We've definitely seen dude duos (with creepy matching hairstyles) rant about their sexiness before. Let's just hope LMFAO doesn't decide to take a little turn on the catwalk.
Michael Bolton / Michael Buble
Is it any coincidence that these two kings of adult contemporary share not only the same first name, but the same initials? No matter the era, the world will always need sappy, heartfelt ballads to tug at our heartstrings.
Florence and the Machine / The Eurythmics
Sweet dreams are made of powerful songstresses from across the pond fronting awesome bands. Looks like the dog days are over (again)!
Justin Bieber / Rick Astley
There were a lot of choices for the previous Bieber, but after looking into our crystal ball, we're convinced that in the future you'll have to watch out for both Rickrolling and Biebballing. You'll click that link on your friend's Facebook page thinking it's a video of a cute baby panda doing something adorable. But it won't be a cute baby panda. It'll be Bieber.
Madonna / Madonna
You thought we'd say Gaga, didn't you?! Keep dreaming. No one's the new Madonna. No one.
