My nominations.....

Paris to Berlin, by Infernal (2004)

Dr Jones, by Aqua (1997, so falls outside your window, but was so ahead of its time it could be a mid 2000s cheesy pop banger)

Call Me Maybe, by Carly Rae Jepson (2012, so again outside of your window, but possibly the best pop song ever written)

I'd forgotton about MGMT - great pop!

I'm a massive fan of the Run Run EP from Those Dancing Days, especially for road trips, apple music tells me its 'Alternative' but its firmly in the uplifting pop bracket for me!

Possibly already suggested

How about those DJ Fresh Lucozade ad songs. Proper poppy drum n bass vibe. Hot Right Now and Gold Dust

There should be a comma in there somewhere. He's not called DJ Fresh Lucozade 😀

That little dragon track is class. I've started two play lists now... Things I've heard before and things I haven't 😄 love exploring new music but especially in the car when you've got time to listen.

There's no love song finer. But how strange the change from major to minor. Or in this case just minor but still uplifting

And now let's ruin a fantastic thread

and get this in under the wire...

Cheating a bit but, 90's, teens and dance music was mentioned as possibly being preferred by the OP.

Loads more of these if it is deemed suitable 🙂

Another superb vid (Content warning: slow motion tassel work)

Saucy minx is our Alison!

Can I post the Tatu – All The Things She Said video, or am I giving too much away now?

If you don’t, I will. Great power-pop, I’ve got their albums.

Literally everything I want to post turns out to be from 1999. I hate this game

Also, apart from coming out in 1993, Mr Jones isn't even the best song on the album. It's not even the best song on the Mr Jones single.

A lot of good stuff that year for some reason.

2000 on the nose

Has a pretty decent video (they're not chasing a briefcase!) as well. Might have done something similar over kinder without the tombstoning bit, Wales that isn't it?
