[LongingHeart]

Rihanna has so many bad songs, poor her
But they gave her some really good ones too.

I know that one too.

By the way daddy Shia is such a hottie



I still need to watch that movie where he plays a sex addict

[aRat]

I actually agree. Love that one, great hook.

The video is also a masterpiece.



Perfect song + video combo.

[Hejira]

That's a fortunate picture of him though. He doesn't really look like that.
I couldn't with him cause I always remember him as the kid in "Holes" (interesting title within this context...).

[Tansike]

Oh yes, "Disturbia" was and still is amazing. Absolutely adored it back then plus its video. Probably still my favorite video from her

Currently having the time to listen to some 'older' gems again. Usually I only have time to listen to what's current, but 'thankfully' my partner is visiting his family in the Philippines lately so there's more time to enjoy music again.

The 00s gave us so many amazing pop moments with "It's Not Me, It's You", "Loose", "Good Girl Gone Bad", some former Disney girls delivering some huge guilty pleasures, t.A.T.u still being a thing, The Pussycat Dolls, Kerli's "Love Is Dead", Kelly Clarkson's breakthrough, some of Britney's best albums and obviously a lot more.

Damn, I'm so nostalgic right now
I think I really need to put together a playlist of my favorite 00s hits!

[MusicRecords]

I like Rihanna’s song disturbia but then I remember that Chris brown wrote it and gave it to her and their bad history so then I kinda dislike the song

[RayRay]

And 15 years later, what was the public opinion of the best song of all time?

It was a huge hit here. We Belong Together went up to #2.
But despite being so big, it hasn't turned into a classic here like Hero, One Sweet Day, I'll Be There or When You Believe.

Yeah it's not a classic here at all the way it (seems) to be in the USA. I love WBT but it's certainly not my favorite to be honest.
For instance, I'd choose "With You" over it.

[RayRay]

We Belong Together is one of my all time favorite MC songs.
But a few months ago we we had a party at work and there was karaoke, so I went for We Belong Together (thinking everyone would sing along as it was such a huge hit here), but there was no one of my colleagues who knew the song.
And last week one of the more popular radio stations did a Top 500 of the '00s. But WBT didn't feature as it didn't get enough votes...

[stevyy]

Up until Oct 4th: YTD spotify:

Year do Date:

47,910,512 - We Belong Together
31,663,943 - Always be my Baby
26,280,395 - Hero
25,132,395 - Obsessed
22,960,606 - I Know what You Want
17,763,804 - Without You
16,675,024 - One Sweet Day
16,006,788 - Fantasy
15,552,225 - All I want for Christmas Is You
13,716,796 - When You Believe

I think WBT won.

[Goldmoney]

Ok wth is up with this GOAT slandering all of a sudden?

In the black community here, WBT is #2 behind AIWFCIY. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t know it.

As long as Kween is reaching her community, that’s all that matters to me.

[Goldmoney]

It also spent fourteen consecutive weeks at #1 on the black airplay chart, which I believe was a record at the time.

Kween of Black music.

[Goldmoney]

I think WBT won.

It won when it was appointed as GOAT on March 29, 2005.

I think it's very big in the black community here too actually. It became kind of, one of those niche song for the black community. That's interesting cause it once was a universal hit but it seems to have really lingered in the more urban/soul corner.

[RayRay]

We don't have a black community in the little village where I live.
At our school we only have four black children (out of the 600+).
(We do have children from different backgrounds though.)
