Alright, this was relevant last year. However, it would be easier to take a year and reflect on the past decade and what definitely this era musically. The top 100 of the 2000s is never an easy list to comply and you have to be wondering what exactly gives you the right to come up with a list. Well in the end it's all my opinion, so you can take it or leave it. Most of the time, please just leave it. Anyways throughout the month of December, I would give you a new blog post for every 10 songs counting down from 100 to 1. #1 will be revealed on the last true day of the 2000s, December 31st, 2010. The count down for the top 100 of the 2000s will start Wednesday, December 1st. Looking back in the past decade we saw our share of heartbreak and triumph, our share of compassion and anger, our share of reflection and carelessness. The 2000s in music has its defining musical moments. In the 2000s, we had the rise and fall of the southern style of music known as "Crunk", the era of European-style music known as "Electropop", the decline of compact discs, and the rise of digital downloads. We saw careers come full circle to careers ending on a stage in New York City doing the do-see-do. We saw the creation of legacies, from American Idiots to Hollaback Girls to The King of Pop and everything else in between. The 2000s defined a music generation as diverse as the days of the hippies. I hope that the countdown will reflect what happened in the past ten years.
To qualify on the list, the song must have been released or re-released from December 1st, 1999 to December 31st, 2009.
