Posted April 18, 20241 yr Over the next few months we are counting down the top 1000 songs from the 2000s rated by Spotify listeners as of last night. Here's a selection of the artists you can expect to see a fair bit of: 50 Cent Akon Amy Winehouse Beyoncé Black Eyed Peas Britney Spears Coldplay Eminem Kanye West Linkin Park My Chemical Romance Nickelback Paramore Rihanna Shakira System Of A Down With thanks to our sponsor Kworb I've done my best to filter out anything not from the 00s but the list may include some inaccuracies :P We start off with a handful of songs I've never heard of!!
April 18, 20241 yr I wonder how this will go, I’m predicting some high charting Rihanna singles in there.
April 18, 20241 yr Author #1,000 Ray J - Sexy Can I Spotify streams: 167m Year: 2008 UK Chart: {66}->1 Well isn't this a crap start to the top 1000 (unless I find another song that shouldn't be in the list) YeVOnHce37Y #999 Beyoncé - Me, Myself and I Spotify streams: 167m Year: 2003 UK Chart: {11}-15-26-29-33-44-61->7 Beyoncé's debut solo album gave her four hits, all of which were big enough for this list. A long while before we get to her top entry. This one doesn't do anything for me though. 4S37SGxZSMc #998 Charlie Brown Jr. - Ela Vai Voltar (Todos Os Defeitos De Uma Mulher Perfeita) Spotify streams: 167m Year: 2005 UK Chart: DNC Brazilian rock rap anyone? 4DA5aGfyd1A #997 Alexis y Fido - 5 Letras Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2007 UK Chart: DNC A bit of reggaeton and I suspect there'll be a bit more of that to come OK-yFyj-og8 #996 Aleks Syntek - Duele El Amor Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2003 UK Chart: DNC Mexican pop duet which was his biggest hit. Quite nice sounding. VuDc8HQ3Rbg #995 Aaron Y Su Grupo Ilusion - Todo Me Gusta De Ti Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2000 UK Chart: DNC Regional Mexican alert! 4S2Mb0jlCps
April 18, 20241 yr Author #994 Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2007 UK Chart: {30}-60->2 Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' album has surprisingly strong streaming and this is the first of two from it in the countdown. Hadn't heard this one before but I can see how it's a fanbase favourite, it's fairly interesting. GoLJJRIWCLU #993 Céline Dion - I'm Alive Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2002 UK Chart: {17}-26-28-40-55-69->6 A bit more upbeat than you'd expect from a Celine Dion song which probably helped it here. NJsa6-y4sDs #992 Wisin & Yandel - Besos Mojados Spotify streams: 169m Year: 2009 UK Chart: DNC Reggaeton klaxon. Buzzjack may prefer the 2022 sequel featuring Rosalia. 1szdJ3SJlHA #991 The Rasmus - In the Shadows Spotify streams: 169m Year: 2004 UK Chart: {3}-3-5-6-8-10-9-13-19-24-29-32-40-45-59-75->16 A 00s rock classic which I'm pleased has made it onto the list. 7gwO8-oqwFw #990 N.O.R.E. - Oye Mi Canto Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2006 UK Chart: DNC They had a UK hit with "Nothin" however this track ended up being a lot bigger thanks to assistance from Daddy Yankee amongst others. HhxQnTELitk That's all for tonight. More surprises to come tomorrow..
April 18, 20241 yr I know 'Besos Mojados2' because I'm hot on the ROSALÍA discography, but not familiar with the part that appears here! Great to see Radiohead racking up those streams and 'In The Shadows' is a big highlight as well so far :wub:
April 18, 20241 yr Just posted Rasmus in the 04 thread but I would've expected that to be a tiny bit higher here ngl. Like 'I'm Alive' too. Also liked the lead single before it 'That's The Way It Is'!
April 18, 20241 yr Oh Jigsaw Falling Into Place was one I certainly streamed much at the time. From a great album too, and I saw the band perform it live in Manchester that year too! :D Can’t deny a great anthem from The Rasmus, but none of the others revealed so far are noteworthy for me.
April 18, 20241 yr Great thread to follow, thanks for doing this Dan. Agree it's pretty low for The Rasmus! Intriguing to see all these Mexican and Reggaeton hits here. Quite nice to know there's an audience for these in the UK even if they never do enough on a weekly basis to touch the chart.
April 18, 20241 yr Are these statistics just of a UK audience though or is it an international chart?
April 18, 20241 yr Author BONUS ALERT (because I knew this would happen at least once agh) #1,000 Ray J - Sexy Can I Spotify streams: 167m Year: 2008 UK Chart: {66}->1 Well isn't this a crap start to the top 1000 (unless I find another song that shouldn't be in the list) YeVOnHce37Y (this is all GLOBAL streams by the way hence all the Spanish language entries)
April 18, 20241 yr Erm... I don't know her. Except for Beyonce which is panifully mid, Radiohead which is pretty great and i'm glad managed to make the cut and The Rasmus which is an absolute bop and my highlight s far.
April 19, 20241 yr Like 'I'm Alive' too. Also liked the lead single before it 'That's The Way It Is'! I think A New Day Has Come was the lead single to that album. That's The Way It Is was released in 1999 so just a bit too early to feature here!
April 19, 20241 yr Interested to see how this plays out! Obviously Spotify didn’t take off massively until the early-mid 2010s so almost if not all of these will be predated listens. Which 2000s songs have lasted the longest / feature mostly in throwbacks playlists :lol: Mr Brightside coming for the #1?
April 19, 20241 yr I think A New Day Has Come was the lead single to that album. That's The Way It Is was released in 1999 so just a bit too early to feature here! Haha yeah I meant to put that oops.
April 19, 20241 yr Author #989 Deftones - Cherry Waves Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2006 UK Chart: DNC Nu-metal band who were fairly popular in America, quite a decent rock ballad on a first listen through. gjKRxd8yMyM #988 Brooks & Dunn - Red Dirt Road Spotify streams: 169m Year: 2003 UK Chart: DNC Yes we will see a bit of country popping up in the list, thanks America. zBTpoKvre84 #987 The Wombats - Let's Dance to Joy Division Spotify streams: 169m Year: 2007 UK Chart: 35-{15}-22-32-30-50-72-68R(8)-54-62->10 The breakthrough album for Aussie band The Wombats gave them three big streaming hits, this being their biggest. Two actual Joy Division songs have greater streaming numbers for anyone wondering. ayuooyWPEUc #986 Uncle Kracker - Drift Away Spotify streams: 170m Year: 2002 UK Chart: DNC This guy was a UK one hit wonder but had multiple other American hits, this one a bit too country for the UK clearly. A69BertdSt4 #985 Akon - Sorry, Blame It On Me Spotify streams: 168m Year: 2007 UK Chart: 74-40-31-29-31-23-28-35-{22}-29-35-48-60->13 Never apologised for this song being mid. ynMk2EwRi4Q
