Best Dance Hits of the 2000s

Attention!!!

The best years of those born in the 80s were during the 2000s when they would be in the latter ages of their teens. The 2000s may also prove to be the last vestiges of Alternative Rock and Hard Rock as the 2010s have massacred the genres to the point of no return. Eurodance was dead and in its place Europop was building itself as a genre with a significant contribution from Romanian Pop. As far as dance music goes Rap, Dancepop and Hip-Hop ruled the dance floors with the likes of Flo Rida, Black Eyed Peas, 50 Cent, Sean Paul, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and Pitbull shaping the industry as they took over the mainstream charts. With an immense stress on beat and rhythm rather than lyrics, the dance music of the 2000s is unique. 

Those artists that began their careers in the 90s such as Britney Spears, Eminem, Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias have become superstars with several dance hits and some like Shakira, Pitbull, Rihanna, Sean Paul and David Guetta have entered the mainstream with several dance hits. With his debut dance anthem Low, Flo Rida entered the hearts and minds of the party people during the 2000s and claims the top spot on this compilation. At No.2 we have Usher's Yeah in which he collaborated with veteran rappers Ludacris and Lil Jon. With a different flavour at No.3 we have Shakira's Hips Don't Lie where former Fugees member Wyclef Jean is featured. With the highest number of entries we have Black Eyed Peas with 8 whopping entries followed by Sean Paul with 7, 50 Cent and Jennifer Lopez with 6 each, Timbaland, Akon, Pussycat Dolls, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake with 5 each, Flo Rida, Britney Spears, Madonna, Shakira, Bob Sinclar, Pitbull, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Inna with 4 each, David Guetta, Kylie Minogue, Sugababes, Missy Elliot, Ludacris, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Eve, Pink, Destiny's Child and Cascada with 3 each.

The Worst Songs of All Time

Attention!!!

Well, this took ages to complete, but I guess it was worth the wait. Many songs that are released are not worth taking note of. There are so many songs that we haven't heard of by some of our favorite artists and bands, mostly because we only listened to the singles which they release. Therefore, even if there are bad songs among the unreleased songs, we would not know. However, this list concerns the songs that have been released. This list contains songs that are really bad and excruciatingly painful for the ears, but nevertheless gained popularity and even certain accolades. Heading the list is none other than everyone's "favorite" Justin Bieber (sorry to all the beliebers but he has four songs on the list). Some songs like Chinese Food, Facebook uh oh oh and Popozao have such extraordinarily bad titles, one wonders how they became famous. Well not everyone has awesome taste in music, I guess. 

Revered artists and bands such as Cliff Richard, Barry Manilow and The Beatles are all featured in the list and even multiplatinum artists and bands such as the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Usher, Beyonce and the Backstreet Boys. It just goes to show that it's not just Rebecca Black or Double Take that come up with horrible songs.  Also we must not forget the film and television actors and actresses that decide that they can sing all of a sudden. Kate Winslet, Eddie Murphy and Heidi Montag are featured on this list and not to mention personalities who are celebrities by profession such as Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.

Best Duets of All Time (Mixed)

Attention!!!

A duet is a song performed by two artists. Duets have been a part of the music scene since the beginning of time. The most important thing about a duet is the vocal harmonization as well as the synchronization. In the 50s, 60s and the 70s, duets were sung by most of the mainstream artists and this trend continued into the 80s and 90s as well. Duets as of now in the 21st century are most of the time done for the purposes of commercial success. Relatively unknown artists are chosen by the major artists to perform songs written by the latter or insignificant artists leech up with the popular mainstream ones to become popular or get some hits on YouTube. 

What is interesting about this list, is that most of the all time best duets are from the 70s and the 80s and most of these songs are either Pop or R&B. Several artists have been featured on two or more duets on this list such as Linda Ronstadt, Peabo Bryson, Celine Dion, Eminem, Rihanna, Beyonce and James Ingram while Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra have three of their duets in the top 50. I have recognized only three exceptional duets from Romanian Pop - Stereo Love, Shining Heart and My Passion. However, this list only includes duets of mixed genders and not of the same gender. 

1. Lionel Richie & Diana Ross – Endless love
2. Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra – Some velvet morning
3. Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton – Islands in the stream
4. John Travolta & Olivia Newton John – You’re the one that I want
5. Frank Sinatra & Nancy Sinatra – Somethin’ stupid
6. Pink & Nate Ruess – Just give me a reason
7. Sarah Brightman & Michael Crawford – Phantom of the opera
