From classic party jams, to a few songs whose popularity, in retrospect, may make you cringe, this was the ‘00s.
Usher w/ Lil’ Jon and Ludacris – Yeah!
Weeks at #1: 12
Year: 2004
Bring together one of the biggest stars in R&B, a legendary producer/ad-lib specialist, and one of the most popular hip-hop artists of the era, and the result is “Yeah!”
This mega-hit stayed at #1 for 12 weeks, and can still fill dance floors 13 years later.
Fun fact: Usher bounced himself from the top spot, as “Burn” overtook “Yeah!”
Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow
Weeks at #1: 12
Year: 2009
We may all try to deny it in 2017, but everyone loved Black Eyed Peas back in 2009.
It seems like another time entirely, but BEP ruled the freakin’ world just eight years ago.
“Boom Boom Pow” was just the start of their reign at the top, as 12 weeks of this song at #1 was immediately followed by …
Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling
Weeks at #1: 14
Year: 2009
Between “Boom Boom Pow,” and “I Gotta Feeling,” Black Eyed Peas had the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 26 straight weeks. That’s half the f*cking year!
If you try to pretend you weren’t partying to these songs, we know you’re lying. We all prepped for nights out to “I Gotta Feeling,” and got down to “Boom Boom Pow.”
In 2009, it was the Black Eyed Peas’ world, and we were just living it.
