US #1s of 2000

My top 5:

1. Maria Maria
2. Independent Women
3. Music
4. Say My Name
5. Try Again

madonna deserves a nod for "Music" video

try again

Schizophrenic year: boy-pop regnant! Vertical Horizon and Matchbox 20's hits are boy-pop of a kind; meanwhile Mariah Carey and Savage Garden pretend the nineties still exist. . Funny how "It's Gonna Be Me" is N'Sync's only Number One.

"Say My Name" for the win.

weird, i like songs from this era by most of these artists but i'm not really crazy about anything here. probably gonna go with one of the Aguilera songs.

"Say My Name," no contest.

yeah, much as i'd like to hold it down for vertical horizon

Only one of these songs has a dope beat to step to.

Try Again, obvs.

OTM, was expecting to find more that I love here! "Independent Women" is good but I can't bring myself to vote for it for some reason. WTF is Lonestar, "Amazed"? Don't remember that at all. Ditto "Doesn't Really Matter" and the Savage Garden song.

Might vote for the underrated "Bent," which even if you hate Matchbox 20, gives you a video starring Rob Thomas getting the living shit kicked out of him.

Ohhhhhhh, that "Baby I'm amazed by you" song. Every time I hear it I kinda figure it's some pretty recent country hit that I don't know. And I always want it to turn into "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues."

independent women

There's like 7 Mariah songs from the 00s that hit number one that I can't sing a note of

Oh, don't worry, she can sing them all for you. A lot.

Notes, that is. Too many.

oh man, this has got to be one of our better selections

independent women
say my name
music

some really really bad songs too

Jeb, Say My Name. You actin' kinda shady. Ain't callin' me baby. Why the sudden change?

the great trax here are incredible, so much so that they almost make me overlook all the bad or boring trax, of which there are more.

1. try again
2. say my name
3. music
4. doesn't really matter
5. independent women part 1

don't like either of the xtina singles, disappointingly. 'what a girl wants' is weak, and i can't even remember 'come on over baby'.

i never realised 'doesn't really matter' hit no 1, and it seems odd that it did.

"Say My Name" by quite a lot, much as I love Aaliyah.

"Try Again" by a decent margin.

shit i totally missed that "Doesn't Really Matter" was an option, that is my favorite by a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge margin but I already voted for "What A Girl Wants"

Try Again is the only one I'd choose to listen to

Went "Try Again": almost sort of wish I'd gone for "Amazed" instead cos I don't think anyone else will and I kind of have a fairly sizeable soft spot for it, particularly its massively awkward key change, but I've probably made the right choice.

And I always want it to turn into "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues."

ha! i know exactly the song you're talking about. this is an incredibly shitty list. i like plenty from '00, but apparently none made it to #1. "try again" if pressed. "music" = not the worst thing madoona ever die, so points for that as well. i guess.

madonna ever did.

my work keyboard is hopeless

1. Try Again
2. Doesn't Really Matter
3. Independent Women Pt. 1
4. Maria Maria
5. Say My Name

say my name owns, those damn girls sang like angels~~~~

I h8 all those songs. YEAR FAIL

goddamnit i voted for independent women too fast, didn't see say my name which is hands down the best song on there

Just like the 1944 poll, these song titles read in sequence tell the story of a relationship. But this time the break-up doesn't come till the very end, despite this embarrassing moment:

Destiny's Child, "Say My Name"
Santana, "Maria Maria"
Aaliyah, "Try Again"

dad a = A+ dad jokes

you forgot "bruv"

say my fucking name

song is so good.

I can't even hum the Mariah Carey song. Is it good?

i don't even know that one, geez

say my name is good but i really think i have to go with What a Girl Wants here. i only sing it like 3 times a week.

What a forgettable year.

I never noticed before that "Maria Maria" and "Independent Women" have the exact rhythm to them.

...exact same rhthym...

spiller groovejet never made it across the ocean?

never even heard of it

sounds like the type of thing you'd have to be Madonna to take to #1 on the US charts

1 Destiny's Child, "Say My Name"
2 Destiny's Child, "Independent Women Part I"
3 Santana, "Maria Maria"
4 Aaliyah, "Try Again"
5 Christina Aguilera, "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" is so underrated.

yeah, probably should've voted for this, since "Try Again" won in a landslide....

3 lolvotes?

at least it would've been tied w/ creed

We need the next version of ILX to show the voters who cast the votes in order to more accurately suggest ban
