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"

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.

well "love at first sight" is okay, i guess

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.

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).
