From classic party jams, to a few songs whose popularity, in retrospect, may make you cringe, this was the ‘00s.
Mariah Carey – We Belong Together
Weeks at #1: 10
Year: 2005
Remember how Mariah ruled the ‘90s, having three of the decade’s longest reigning #1 songs? That dominance was still there in the ‘00s, as in 2005 “We Belong Together” turned out to be another Mariah classic, spending 10 weeks at #1.
Kanye West w/ Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger
Weeks at #1: 10
Year: 2005
Arguably one of the more misogynistic songs to ever hit the top of the chart, Kanye’s assessment of women’s needs, and relationships in general, was just as addictive as it was troubling. We sure as heck cranked it up, and sang along, for quite a while, though.
