by "not a strong list" I simply meant that not many songs here move me. where's Justin for a start (the older one)? and (thought I'm not sure about her status on ilm) Lily Allen?
― gospodin simmel, Saturday, 7 May 2011 11:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Justin and later N Sync were on the R&B lists
― ORIGINAL DUDE (some dude), Saturday, 7 May 2011 11:10 (thirteen years ago) link
and Lily Allen's status on ilm is good, her status with me personally is very very bad
― ORIGINAL DUDE (some dude), Saturday, 7 May 2011 11:11 (thirteen years ago) link
fair enough

the whole tatu thing kind of passed me by somehow, i heard their only US hit maybe twice

Someday" is the only other big '00s one though
This was summer '99!
I don't see this as "going against the canon" quite as much as a few odd selections which have been mostly hated on, such as "La La" or Paris Hilton..
Voted Kylie obv.
― billstevejim, Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
PS What canon? Not enough time has passed..
I think what I dislike most about "Toxic" is that it's so hugely adored when it's actually not even in her 20 best songs.
― billstevejim, Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:05 (thirteen years ago) link
well i just hate Britney and don't think she has 20 listenable songs so
― some dude, Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link
exactly!
― billstevejim, Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:13 (thirteen years ago) link

Also:JoJo - "Leave (Get Out)" and "Too Little Too Late"City High - "What Would You Do"3LW - "No More" and "Playas Gon Play"The Fray - "Over My Head (Cable Car)"VV Brown - "Shark in the Water"Rooney - "Blueside"Jimmy Eat World - "The Middle"SoulDecision - "Faded" and "Ooh It's Kinda Crazy"Daniel Bedingfield - "If You're Not the One"Macy Gray - "I Try"Shaggy - "It Wasn't Me"Avril Lavigne - "I'm With You"Sonique - "It Feels So Good"S Club 7 - "Never Had a Dream Come True"Michelle Branch - "Everywhere"

jimmy eat world was on the rock list, tho "the middle" is better than whichever song al put on there (i forget)
can't believe i forgot "over my head", that would be in the top 10 of my list -- also good look on city high

can't tell if k3v is kidding or what
i definitely like "Too Little Too Late," "Over My Head" and "I'm With You" enough that they could've made the list.
― some dude, Saturday, 7 May 2011 16:59 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm serious - i thought you liked some of their singles? i like those songs

i'm looking at limp bizkit's wiki page and i'm shocked at how less popular they were than i thought. they never went platinum? "rollin" topped out at 65, "my way" at 75, and "nookie" at 80? why is my perception of their popularity so distorted?
― the buttonmasher, the party crasher, the forget-my-lotion skin rasher (k3vin k.), Saturday, 7 May 2011 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link

Limp Bizkit had MTV and rock radio sewn up, but never really got top 40 burn iirc.

after all the talk upthread about Coldplay etc. not being here because they were on the rock list i thought it went w/o saying that they were on another list (twice!): al ship's top 50 rock singles of the 00s -- which is your favorite?
it's extremely rare for any hard rock/nu-metal band to have top 40 hits no matter how big they are, unless it's w/ a power ballad (which the Bizkit didn't really do)
― some dude, Saturday, 7 May 2011 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
oh haha well there you go
i have no idea what makes something like that "rock" or "pop" or whatever, same with train who i also love

it usually depends on which chart a specific song charter or how high if it had cross format success

Pretty surprising how similar this list is to the one I would create, I count somewhere between 15 and 20 that would be in my own top 50 pop singles of the 00s. I actually voted for "Come Clean" here, though it's close between that, "Love at First Sight", and "Bye Bye Bye"
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 13:02 (thirteen years ago) link
True, but I think they might've done a bit better if digital sales had existed when they were popular.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 13:11 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, maybe
"Swing, Swing" was on my rock list, to kind of underline how ridiculous it is that it appeared on rock charts but "Move Along" did not.
