10 Biggest Songs Of The Past Ten Years

"Biggest" referring to both ubiquity during that time period, popularity, a constantly played video, whatever. Doesn't have to refer to the Billboard charts (although I imagine almost every song will be on there somewhere).

Try to do this without scouring old pop charts, too [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

My nominations:

Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Those Mexican Guys - Macarena
Santana w/ RT - Smooth
OutKast - Hey Ya!
50 Cent - In Da Club
Usher w/ those other dudes - Yeah
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady
Britney Spears - Baby One More Time
Juvenile - Back That Thing Up
Limp Bizkit - Nookie (Or N 2Gether Now?)

What qualifies in your opinion?

Also, an artist that I think should be on here somewhere, except I can't think of a song to stick with him is Jay-Z.

Smooth was the first song that cam to mind.

I also remember Brittney Spears Oops I did it Again always seemd to be on.

N'Sync - Bye Bye Bye
Sisqo - Thong Song

Both are very close as well. I really think there should be an N'Sync song (and I think BBB was their biggest) but I don't think it qualifies as top 10. Thong Song I could understand.

Just thought of another one that's definitely a strong contender for top 10. This song was played about every 10 minutes on every radio station back in its prime:

Nelly - Country Grammar

I keep thinking there's got to be a J-Lo song I'm not thinking of that would have to be considered, but then again, she might not have had a song that was close to top 10.

TLC - No Scrubs

That song was on the radio every 3 seconds. Closest I've come to genocide.

Also there are maybe 3 or 4 tracks up there that are excellent IMO.

Yeah, that's a good one.

I don't agree with that or macarena. As soon as people realized how stupid those songs were they were thrown into the trash. Everyone can still enjoy most of the songs on the original list.

edit- just reread the OP. guess they DO fit your list but i think that criteria sucks then.

I actually thought it was catchy. This is on the outskirts as well.

Country Grammar is good for the list.
