Biggest songs of the 2000's?

[Liam]

Chocolate > All Snow Patrol Songs.

Souljah Boy has lost his appeal now it seems. In 2010 when I look back I seriously doubt anyone will really care about his one song, but hey, if they do you can hunt me down and I will apologise.

Spitting Games was released twice, and was pretty huge a few summers back. Run was also massive, probably more so than Spitting Games. Chasing Cars is the most well known off the latest album I'd say, but there's not been nearly the buzz about this album than the first.

I'd say "Chasing Cars" was a much bigger song, with more of a universal appeal. "Spitting Games" was basically relegated to MTV2, despite being an AMAZING song. "Run" was fair popular, and picked up by other music TV channels, but "Chasing Cars" was played to death and had MUCH more universal appeal, with everyone from scallies to supply teachers liking it.

Eyes Open was Snow Patrol's fourth album. It is very guff though. I was tricked into getting it because You're All I Have was the release single and it's a really good song. Chasing Cars got far more airplay than any song on that album.

Similar to Snow Patrol - Keane.

Is It Any Wonder got played a hell of a lot.

[alldaws1]

Snow Patrol's Eyes Open album is the same song repeated 11 times. At least that's what it seems like.

[Farmer Reil]

What was that "oo-oo-ooooh ooooh-oooh. oo-oo-ooooh ooo-oooh" one?

Probably not a lot of help, huh? It was by The Killers, I think.

Edit: Nope, turns out that was Snow Patrol too; 'You're All I Have'. That was pretty big down here, nowhere near Chasing Cars and Run though.

See, when I read that aloud, it sounded like Spitting Games >_>

And Keane are dreary shite.

A few early millenium ones missed so far...

Korn - Freak on a Leash

Less Than Jake - Gainesville Rock City

Slipknot - Wait and Bleed

Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People

The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)

Blink-182 - All The Small Things

Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch

I'm sure there's a shitload more, if you wanted poppy ones, just check the "NOW!" CD's.

A lot of those are from the late 90s:

Freak on a Leash was 98

Wait and Bleed was 99

Beautiful People was 96

Pretty Fly was 98

As for songs from the 00s that are going to be remembered as songs of this decade, I can't really point to much. "Hey Ya" is really one of the few ultra-mega hit that was played on literally any station that wasn't country or talk that was also a really good song. "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley is up there too as well as "Feel Good Inc." I think a lot of these other songs that have been rammed up our collective asses will be forgotten in years to come.

[Cactus Drags]

Bear in mind though, we may have gotten things a little later in the UK.

Did I miss the 'Hey Ya' phase, or was it just in America? I remember it being a popular song but nothing like what some of you guys are suggesting.

You must have missed it, it was outrageously popular here too.
