Here's What the MTV Video Music Awards Looked and Sounded Like 10 Years Ago

Danity Kane, Pussycat Dolls and Black Eyed Peas were just a few acts in attendance

How much can really change in 10 years? We're so glad you asked.

As music lovers know, tonight marks the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards where Hollywood's most recognized faces and voices will descend on New York City's Madison Square Garden for a live, unpredictable show.

But before Kanye West, Britney Spears and Rihanna become the talk of the evening, we just have to take a trip down memory lane. It's time to rewind and throw it back to 2006.

10 years ago on a late August night, Jack Black hosted the annual MTV show from Radio City Music Hall where Shakira and Red Hot Chili Peppers received the most nominations. As for who won the highly coveted Video of the Year, credit has to be given to Panic! at the Disco's "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." It's all coming back to you, right?

Before tonight's show broadcasts live at 9 p.m. on MTV, we're bringing on the nostalgia with some of the most memorable moments from 2006. Boy, have things changed.
