Top 101 of the 00s! // 101-96

After much deliberation, I have FINALLY whittled down a decade of fantastic songs (all 404 via Spotify) to 101 essential tracks for defining the decade. UNFORCH due to Spotify unavailability some spectacular tracks (about 10 or 20?) missed out, but I'll do an addendum afterwards covering 'em. Until then, feast yourself on a gluttonous orgy of spectacular music!

POSITION // ARTIST - SONG (YEAR) // PEAK POSITION ON MY CHART

All songs have YouTube links, where possible.

101 // The 411 - Dumb (2004) // #2
100 // The Pussycat Dolls; Timbaland – Wait A Minute (2006) // #1 (1 week)
099 // Beyoncé – Diva (2009) // #3
098 // Beyoncé – Sweet Dreams (2009) // #3
097 // Stereophonics – Dakota (2005) // #1 (2 weeks)
096 // Jamiroquai – Seven Days In Sunny June (2005) // #1 (4 weeks)

OK I CHEATED SOZ. I had to have 101 because, generic as it is, Dumb is just too fantastic to be left out.

Wait A Minute is ALSO a tune, being the first hint that KFC addiction was providing Timbaland with inspiration, even if the muse has worn off a tad by now.

OK, let's just clear this up. DIVA IS ACTUALLY AMAZING. I too despised it at first, but realised the error of my ways. Beyoncé getting out her angry black gurrrl ALWAYS = win. Except on Video Phone, that remains f***ing dire even with GodGa's addition. Sweet Dreams is also spectacular but is on here more for reasons of great memories if it seems an odd inclusion.

Dakota is the only good song the Stereophonics have ever done. FACT. End of the matter, they can die now thx.

I used to be a MASSIVE Jamiroquai fan but the passage of time really hasn't been kind to their music Seven Days... does remain a summer anthem of mine however, and it'd be pretty hard for it not to seeing as it's pretty timeless. Feels Just Like It Should on the other hand...
