maneaterwhat goes around/comes aroundtoo little too lateno airmariah carey's "obsessed"sean kingston's "beautiful girls" (yeah i know, i'm a douchebag...)all american rejects "swing swing" (actually in all fairness, I probably would not have voted for this, same goes for "no air")

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"

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)
True, but I think they might've done a bit better if digital sales had existed when they were popular.

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.

i'll go to bat for a few of these, ranked favorites:
2. Kylie Minogue - "Love At First Sight" - awesome, one of her best4. Lady Gaga - "Bad Romance" - likewise13. N Sync - "Bye Bye Bye" - enjoy this a good deal50. N Sync - "Pop" - just a shade below "bye bye bye" but still good9. Madonna - "Don’t Tell Me" - like this alright, but not even close to a Madonna top 25
the rest of these are almost uniformly yawn/zzzzzz or total shit.. though to be fair, i've not heard maybe 10 of them
worst song here is probably dido "white flag"

voted Kylie
those 10 are amazing, you should listen to them
― bile al (some dude), Tuesday, 17 May 2011 23:28 (twelve years ago) link
basically i only take criticism on this list from people who i'm pretty certain CAN name 50 songs they like within the parameters of this list. ilxor and whiney can kick rocks.

42. Dido - "White Flag" 3
fuck outta here
― solitary posts that effortlessly summarize the spirit of ilxor (ilxor), Thursday, 19 May 2011 01:57 (twelve years ago) link
really boring winners
"fuck outta here" because "white flag" is too low? surely that, it's a great song, and dido's calm demeanour belies what's actually a completely mental lyric

Correct winner ftr.
― Tim F, Thursday, 19 May 2011 08:32 (twelve years ago) link
well "love at first sight" is okay, i guess
― that's my hair no horses up there (lex pretend), Thursday, 19 May 2011 08:34 (twelve years ago) link
It's possibly the finest piece of disco-pop of the 00s, what is better than it in that vein?
― Tim F, Thursday, 19 May 2011 08:37 (twelve years ago) link
"come into my world" off the same album? britney's "anticipating"?
― that's my hair no horses up there (lex pretend), Thursday, 19 May 2011 08:43 (twelve years ago) link
Both great, but no.
― Tim F, Thursday, 19 May 2011 09:15 (twelve years ago) link
I think there is a certain air of absolute joyful plenitude and completeness and can-this-be-happening ecstaticness that a lot of disco-pop/house-pop anthems aspire to and that "Love At First Sight" actually nails.
Something like "Come Into My World" is going for a different vibe of escapist dreaminess (closer to "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", though that's slightly different again).
