There’s no way you don’t know Complicated by Avril Lavigne, it’s literally one of the most iconic songs of the 2000s 😂

I love the fact that you were like, What is her name?! While the title of the song was, Say my name... 😆

To answer your question: yes, the woman in Destiny's Child that you recognized but couldn't remember her name, that was Kelly Rowland. She did the song Dilemma with Nelly. The other members of Destiny's Child (besides Beyoncé and Kelly) were changing over time because of some drama. In the end it was Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Jamie Foxx is the one singing the "she give me money, when I'm in need" part in gold digger 😂😂 it's a sample of ray charles and jamie played ray charles in a biopic around that time

It’s funny that many of the songs that you said “this is an absolute banger” has the backbeat sampled from a song from the 70’s-90’s. It’s an interesting evolution in that in the 1990’s, if you sampled another song, you were considered a thief or incompetent hack, some even threatened violence. Then it came around to “how can creative can we get with remixing this…?”

The funny thing is Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys was actually released in October. Then the New York Yankees won the World Series with it playing all over and the song blew up.

I worked for a major radio station in the early 2000s, so I went to all of the concerts. It’s crazy because many of these major artists ex: Christina Aguilera, Pink, maroon 5, the Blackeyed peas, and even Destiny’s Child were all opening acts.

Destiny's Child: Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé Knowles, Michelle Williams

Honestly....I know I'm only 9 months into this video but I've watched all the others and I just can't for the life of me figure out what you listen to since you have NO idea about songs that have consistently been on the radio your entire life. It baffles me. And thankfully entertains me too :). I guarantee you if you handed me your playlist I would be as clueless as you are on these videos though!

You killed me when you said "I wasn't born yet." I was in High School between 2000-2004 and college between 2004-2008. All of these songs were staples of my teen and early club years lol. I feel old now 😭😭

Mariah's 2005 song, We Belong Together, was named the Song of the Decade by Billboard. The song was at #1 for 14 weeks and it even blocked Mariah's next single, Shake It Off, from hitting #1 as it was held back by We Belong Together which stayed at #1 while Shake It Off was at #2 in the same week. That was legendary. In 2005 Mariah also became the first female to replace herself from #1 on the US digital charts when All I want for Christmas and Don't Forget About us were both #1 and #2 and then switched positions. What a year for Mariah. Notable omission from 2008, Mariah's Touch my Body was at #1 in April of that year.

1960s is the best music era

Britney had a terrible 2000s with her personal life. She managed to make a huge comeback with Toxic. It managed to skyrocket her to a Grammy award. She is mostly taking a break now as she needs time.

Amazing that Madonna was still having hits in the 80’s. Her first was in 1984 and last 2008!!! Pure longevity from the queen of pop Madonna has had more no.1 hits of each month then any other artist in 15 7 no.1s in the 80’s 4 in the 90’s and 4 in the 00’s

This brought back emotions. I had forgotten much of these.

I remember most of these songs, as I was still listening to US top 50 radio stations. It seems these lists are based from the US. I wonder what a UK version would look like. There's groups and solo artists that are popular there and most of Europe, but never had a presence in North America. In the 90's, East 17 and Take That fir example came out at the wrong time, as boy bands were not doing well in the US before 1996. Take That is a one hit wonder here, while East 17 never got a US contract. In the 2000's, Anastacia was unable to make it in North America, as I later learned that Clear Channel Radio (now known as iHeart Radio) owned so many Radio stations around the US, that they refused to play her music, that most of us have never heard her. The few Radio stations that did play her music, were much smaller Radio station operators in smaller markets, that even gave her a chance. After no success with her first 2 albums, Sony Music decided not to release her 3rd album in North America, and focus on the countries where she's successful. So I know she would appear on the 2000's UK list.

The 1980s had the best music overall in my opinion.

All these lists from the 70s to 2000s have made me remember sooooo many songs lol, it's awesome

Lady GaGa is acting in stuff right now. She's gonna be playing Harley Quinn in The Joker 2.

The 2000's is when the downfall of music started. Everything started to sound the same in this decade and it continued that way up until 2018 or so. Every producer started to use the same software and every song no matter the genre has those damn claps in the beat. In the 2000's music began losing personality and feeling, it started to feel less real, more like an imitation of something real. I guess I could say music lost its soul in the 2000's

I'm from the Philippines and I was born in 2000. I'm feeling old right now because I know the majority of the songs. Many of them were overplayed hahaha

Kelly Rowland was the Destiny’s child member you were talking about being familiar.

50s and 60s please.

It is weird, at some point I was paying less attention to pop music. I was still hearing it but I almost never knew who sang it, I had no idea how many of these were Timberland, but I know almost of them. Better yet I started paying attention to pop music again later on.

How do u not know we belong together by mariah carey… it was literally the song of the decade😭.. it spent 14 weeks at #1 in the Billboard

Firstly I was born 1990 so I graduated high school in 2008, right when the recession started. You're going to notice pretty much from that summer until 2012ish it's party music, when the economy is down the music industry tends to make happier music. We all might have been broke but we had enough money for the copay to the club and a few drinks!

It was so sad when Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) died...

One funny thing I noticed, is that there's an almost perfect match between the point where you started knowing all of the songs and called them all bangers, and where I dropped out and didn't know most of them. I'm 40 years older than you.

Green Day’s first album was 1991. They had demos when they were in high school and had a different drummer in the beginning.

"what genre is this? sad pop?" bro that fucking sent me lmaoooooo. And basically yes, sad pop.

Lady Marmalade sung by LaBelle 1974. Lead vocalist Patti LaBelle.

My fudging childhood. This video actually made me cry a little I forgot so long of all these songs I remembered when I was young. I loved and knew so many of these thank u so much for showing this video

2:56 Kelly Rowland 3:30 Generational moment where the Boy Band/Pop Princess phenomenon got called out on blast. Kinda like Death Before Disco 5:47 Racially challenging moment because J. Lo. used the N-word in the song, and people questioned if it was appropriate. 7:46 Good times! 9:20 More or less cancelled for impersonating Native Americans at the Grammy Awards. 12:04 When Jamie Foxx thought he was Ray Charles. 16:42 🍈🍈 17:19 RIP Music

Gnarls Barkley is now known as CeeLo Green.

Usher had the ultimate booty call music lol.

Man, following this journey with you has been like watching the absolute decline of music. It's a little depressing. It's also oddly fun.

These were the songs of my 20s. I knew them all but some i like better than others. But that's just my taste. Doesn't make them bad songs bc everyone likes something different

70's, 80s and 90's were the best era in music. Music has gone downhill ever since.

That decade bugged me, seeing actual musicians increasingly sidelined by producer-driven "image pop" and recycled formula songs. Artists were still making Earth-shatteringly beautiful music, but they just weren't being promoted anymore. I highly recommend the video "Why is Modern Music So Awful?" on the channel Thoughty2.

The singer of the gnarls Barkley song “crazy” is CeeLo Green so definitely not a one hit wonder. That said, his only hit as a solo artist that I can remember is “Fuck You”/“Forget You”

What I found interesting here was that some of the songs you were surprised were "this old" I thought "wait is that sone really that recent?" A few from the early '00s I could swear I heard in the mid '90s.

2000s starts the age of "man, that artist/group was still around,?"

I was born in 1993 and I hardly know any of the music from the 90's-now except for some of the very popular ones. I do know most of the songs from the 60's-80's. Music was much better in those decades. Duran Duran came out with an awesome album in 2004 or 2005 called Astronaut. I would here their song What Happens Tomorrow playing in the stores all the time. Duran Duran also released an album called Red Carpet Massacre in 2006 or 2007 in a collab with Timberland and Timberlake. Some of the songs were good. Fallin down was a song about Brittany Spears and what she was going through at that time.

was in my teens when these songs were being played on the radio

You may not like some of the songs, but they were the ones you danced to if you went out. I was in high school, and then college during this time and yes, you heard them so much there. There were literally girls dancing on tables to London Bridge at my University in 2006. I remember all these songs of 90's and 00's so well. As for Timberland, yes, his beats were all over this time. Songs you (a person around your age) may not even know were his beats, were his beats. He did so much with Aaliyah, and Missy too.

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley couldn't have been bigger than SOS by Rihanna. Since SOS was number 1 in the Hot 100 in 3 consecutive weeks of May

My god the 2000s were staked with bangers!

13:04 i think gnarles barkley is Cee lo Green ,remember the song hit "f** u", and one of his earlier songs "closet freak"

As someone born in the early 2000s, these songs make me so nostalgic

Kelly Rowland who was singing with Nelly is the one that was in Destiny's Child

I love the fact that you said Say It Right by Nelly Furtado is a classic because it is indeed!

11:39 How don't you know this song it's so legendary!

On 9/11 the #1 song was "I'm Real (Murder Remix)". Also, you need to listen to Madonna's discography, clearly

I remember mostly all these songs

I figured there would be much fewer I knew in this group - maybe 10%!~ But that's because I'm old :P Most of the ones I knew were by Lady Gaga and Eminem, Brittney Spears, and Evanescence.

7:21 - Yes, Kelly Rowland was in Destiny's Child.

2010’s please 🥹

Avril first song was complicated released in 2002 and is her most iconic song

Yes it was Kelly from D/Child.

him refusing to sing whenever r kelly songs come in is hilarious, 'cause it's relatable lol

We're almost the same age, there's no excuse not knowing the other songs i know almost all 😭

I was in March 18,2003 50 cents is my born Month song.

You need to watch Queen at Live Aid. They are fabulous in concert. I know it's going backwards but it's a must

Lol, almost 8 solid years of stuff I don't recognize here, honestly though I'm surprised I recognized even 20 of them.

I was in my 20s dancing my butt off to these tunes. Same age as Thurston now.👩‍🦳

“Does she still make music” bruh Gaga just went on a hugely acclaimed tour and is shooting Joker 2 rn she’s still huge

When you said Butterfly by Crazy Town reminded you of Far Cry i said ''I can see that.'' like i ever played Far Cry game. I did see some short videos of Vas though.

I couldn’t listen to Apologise for the longest time because it came out when I went through a break up, made me sick every time it came on. 😂

Are you 10 years old?? how do you not know so many of these songs from our childhood??? I’m 20, I’m assuming we’re close in age

23:29- A better list, but longer video would probably be top 10 songs for every month of a decade.

11:38 how did you not know that song??? 😭 it was song of the decade lol

I was born in 2002 and i am happy with my music age

2009 was prime roller rink songs.

Amazing to see Madonna's appearance for 4 times in this video. Queen ❤

Song of the decade, We belong together by Mariah ❤️‍🔥

I had no idea so many hits of the 2000s were just ripping off much better classic songs (I mean "sampling" the best parts of the song). Have we run out of creativity?

Since your name is Luca, you should hear the song Luka by Suzanne Vega from 1987

I was born in 2000 and know most of these and also I'm a madonna superfan lol

I used to get upset when older people complained about young people, but you have turned me into one of those older people watching your videos. The disrespect to the 90s and early 2000s music...🤦🏽‍♂️😂

2008 seems to be the year when I stopped caring for most music. It’s like, at this point I still know it, but I don’t really like it, because it doesn’t make me feel anything.

2005/2006 is when American music lost me. Completely. And I went for more Europop music.

We had pink and Lady GaGa

Justin Timberland is my favorite Backstreet Boy

Should do a 90s one. 😁

Still new them all! I'm an 4 for 4 lol!

I don’t even listen to Sean Paul and I’m insulted for him being compared to Pitbull 😆

Look up about the singer Duffy it's an insane story.

I've watched your reactions to these from the 60s on up (I know, out of production order) and what I've learned is that the most popular music is usually trash and that's probably always been true.

Forever M A D💟N N A!! ((Literally;);)

Marshall Mathers LP And The Eminem Show Banger albums

I was born when Crazy by Gnarles Barkley was number 1

c’mon man, do a madonna deep dive already 🤩

Listen to Avril Lavigne bro shit is good

1770s or 1780s was the best decade of music.

You need to react to an old country music stream 🎉. Thank you

I'm here for the Eminem. Best selling artist in the 2000s and 2010s. I sound like such a stan. Sorry guys,love the vids

The 2000's was definitely Beyonce's decade. She was the queen. Rihanna and Brittney came close.

I knew like 95% of these i was born in 1990

Kelly rowland

Looks like everything went to dancehall stuff. You could just about use the same beat for every one of these tracks. Bleh. Good to see someone enjoying the nostalgia, though.
