Utlimate Hits of the 2000s


Attention!!!


Keeping up with the Ultimate Series this time I focus on the the decade 2000-2009. In this decade you can see a mix of Hip-Hop, R&B, Rap and Alternative Rock and Dancepop gaining ground in the music industry. Pop music leaves the main arena as Dancepop gains momentum with its sub-genres Europop, Electropop and Synthpop. The peak of Electropop will only however come after 2010. The focus is on the dance scene as mainstream music is more towards oriented with party music than good music. Pitch perfection is obtained by auto-tuning and artistes such as Lady Gaga and Flo Rida lay their foundations for a successful future. We see the slow decimation of the girl and boy bands such as Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls and N*Sync. Rock music reenters the mainstream with Hard Rock and Celtic Metal. Eurodance is virtually non-existant during the decade, but K-Pop and J-Pop become extremely popular. Reality shows such as American Idol and X Factor which choose winners among amateurs lead to extremely talented artistes entering the music scene such as Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke and Carrie Underwood.   

This list is a compilation of the greatest hits released between 2000-2009 by different artistes with the exceptions of certain artistes such as Rihanna, Flo Rida and Akon receiving several entries due to  collaborations. I have deliberately excluded other double entries for the sole reason because if that is done then artistes/groups such as Eminem, Lady Gaga, Flo Rida, Rihanna and Shakira would receive many entries and the same will go for bands such as the Black Eyed Peas, Nickelback and Linkin' Park which would lead to other major artistes and bands who were popular at the time or a particular famous song at the time to be excluded. Therefore, painstakingly I have had to research and find out the best song released by these artistes and bands who were popular at the time. 

Thus, these are the Ultimate Hits of the 2000s based on chart performance worldwide as well as accolades received.
