#1 Hits of the 2000s

I know, right?

Not everyone has the same opinion as you, you know

Ha! I got only 32!

One of the best years in music here in Europe, but most of it seems not to have made it to the other side of the pond, and evidently vice versa: There's stuff on here that I've never heard of either.

She's one of the most successful, most ubiquitous stars of the last 5 years. And she's still current so she's fresh in our minds. I don't think it's because jetpunk is populated with Little Monsters. Or were you just taking a swipe? Well, she made $80 million last year which is more than any Man U player made. And that was with a hip injury which forced her to cancel the end of her tour. Way to go America indeed.

Lady Gaga is far from the worst on this list.

I am not much for Lady Gaga's music, but she is not even close to the worst on this list (she's probably close to the best, actually, which...well). But people remembering her name isn't the same as people liking her. She absolutely dominated the radio in 2008 and 2009, and her oversize personality and image make her easy to remember. She stands out, unlike a lot of these others. I'd wager most people could not tell apart Soulja Boy, T-Pain, T.I, Flo Rida, and Chamillionaire if their lives depended on it. Same for Avril Lavigne, Pink, Fergie, and Kelly Clarkson. Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, and Katy Perry would be part of that group too, except they're famous enough that people can probably distinguish them just because they've seen them so much.

Would have to agree with the first responders here. Gaga, while not a personal favorite of mine, is probably one of the most talented artists represented on the above list. After Eminem, Aguilera, Keys, and maybe T.I. Throw in Mariah Carey if vocal range counts as talent. Who should everyone know more?

American Idol was a big deal for a while.

nvm cuz it's about when it was a #1 hit

All eras have their good and bad parts but in general, modern music has deteriorated from older stuff and I'm Gen Z so I ain't just biased. Even if it's relatively bad you can still enjoy it for its nostalgia and memories etc

It's a valid complaint. The music industry has figured out the most successful formula for a pop chart hit and has just cloned it endlessly. It's not our imaginations that most of the top pop hits of the last couple decades all sound the same, it's literally almost all been written by the same two people: https://nypost.com/2015/10/04/your-favorite-song-on-the-radio-was-probably-written-by-these-two/

Not on this list. Their peak was #2.

They got the grammy for best rock performance, but this decade was all pop at the top of the charts. No room for rock or alternative. The 90s were over.

RIP DMX

Did he have a number 1 hit tho?
