If you were unfortunate to have seen my recent post about having a hundred Fake Sean Connery song quote videos over at Instagram, you may have observed that the decade of the 00s (or Aughts, as people smarter than me sometimes call them) had been practically ignored.
I
figured I would try to remedy that, so I went online and looked up the
biggest hits (on Billboard) for those years, and yikes, what awful,
awful songs.* I guess it's not a wonder that I started listening to
talk radio, Oldies, and--gasp!--Country music during that era.
I
also looked up Rolling Stone magazine's list of the Top 200 songs of
the 2000s, and while I only recognized a fraction of those, there were a
bunch more tracks I would consider "good" on that list (my impression
from the Billboard list is that relatively few hit songs made it to
Number 1, then hung on to the top spot of a while, hence there's not as
much variety there.** And out of curiosity, I checked and "A Bar Song"
by Shaboozey is the current record-holder with nineteen weeks at the
top).
My point is, I'd like to do more songs
from that decade, but I found maybe one song I liked enough to
feature. Do you have songs from the 2000s that Fake Sean could quote?
P.S. No, the Shaboozey song is not TECHNICALLY the longest-running
Number 1 on Billboard, but don't be a "Well, ackshually" guy. You're
better than that.
*That is, when I even recognized them.
**And what they claim to have been the biggest hit of the year
2000--"Breathe" by Faith Hill--never actually made it to Number 1.
