top 50 "lost" US hits of the early '00s

2002-2004 were amazing years for hip-hop pop crossover

I always wished this one would've been a bigger hit:

"There You Go" even though I don't remember anything except the title line and a flying motorcycle in the video.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"There You Go" just over "Hell Yeah."

I didn't like "There You Go" when it was new but on listening to it in another thread recently, it's a fuckin' jam.

really wish we'd gotten more of this era of Pink, not that there was anything wrong with the direction she eventually went.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

LOL, very appropriate three-way tie

Fuck voted by mistake for dont tell me… ignore one vote for that and give a write in vote for”someone to call my lover”

so i guess "someone to call my lover" wins with "doesn't really matter" runner-up :D

Here's another: Nivea's "Don't Mess With My Man"

I grew to get really sick of that Asher Roth song but it still brings back some good memories. We'd always change the lyrics to make them way more G-rated...I love studyin'...and I love passin'.... A plus! A plus! A plus!

I really hate the Eamon single but the Frankee song is a thing of beauty. It captures all the petty, bitter, nonsensical rage of wounded pride after a break-up, and "I had to do your friend" as a lyric will never not make me laugh.

"He Loves U Not" is an incredible song, the sound of teenagers fighting in a daytime soap opera, laser-focussed performance and that incredible kick-drum pattern.

so glad to see that one getting love itt.

I missed He Loves U Not somehow. What a bizarre but brilliant sound. Genie in a Bottle-inspired?

in the sense that its writers and producers were the same as "genie's"

well there we are
