What's the best pop song in the last 5 years?

[Yeti]

Snoop and JT - Signs

Perhaps! It's pretty hard to choose.

Yours?

[diebitter]

I just can't get you out of my head - Kylie! (http://www.poster.net/minogue-kylie/minogue-kylie-heart-5000186.jpg)

[istewart]

Hey Ya noob.

[Yeti]

I expect Hey Ya to be a very popular choice.

I just checked the year and would like to change my vote to *NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye.

Thanks.

[samjjones]

Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway

[Eurotrash]

it's probably close, but..


Sufjan Stevens - The Zombie Bumblebees of Chicago Steal Casimir Pulaski


and it's not even close.

[Roland19]

Either "Float On" by Modest Mouse, or "J'en ai Marre" as performed by Alizee.

[Soul Daddy]

Britney - Toxic
or
Hanson - If Only

[swede123]

Yeah, 'cause this is definitely "pop" music.

More great choices. I am just unsure about the longevity of these; I haven't touched The Killers album in months. Only time will tell if they can match Bye Bye Bye.

It's a joke intended to separate the trendy hipsters from everyone else.

I think Hey Ya is a good choice. Breakaway I would say is possibly the best pop record I have heard in 5 years, but not one particular song.

[Duffman]

Justin Timberlake - Cry Me a River


50 Cent - In the Club - though not necessarily pop it's the most overplayed song in recent memory.

[Jack of Arcades]

Beyonce/Jay-Z - Crazy In Love

is this even the most popular NSync song in that time?

I think you're just too blind (too blind) too see, but in the end you know it's gonna be me

Not sure on popularity, it's my fave although they have a handful of great songs.

The chick in their videos is hot, too.

Excellent. And they say pop has gone downhill? I think this thread is illustrating how great the scene is at the moment.

[Riverman]

Hey Ya, and despite the fagginess of saying "and it isnt close" it really isnt

[Landon_McFly]

Anything by...

Nelly
50 Cent
Jay-Z
Eminem
N*Sync
Backstreet Boys
Britney Spears
Usher
Destiny's Child

Those artists absolutely CRUSH the competition.

POP music is called POP because it's POPULAR.

Oh... wait... wait... I bet you could search for the most "popular singles of the last 5 years" on the internet if you wanted to.

Whichever sold the most will obviously be the most popular, so there ya go.

PM me if you're still confused.
Oh wait, nevermind, don't do that.

[Burdzthewurd]

Fallout Boy - Sugar We're Going Down

It's played on all but one rock station I listen to (I heard it on WAAF once) and all the pop stations, give credit to a song that can play on non-pop stations. I'd also vote "Harder To Breathe" by Maroon 5.

[swede123]

I agree that Hey Ya, Crazy in Love and In Da Club are all towards the top of this list. Others that weren't mentioned might include

Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl
Nickelback - Someday
Black Eyed Peas - Where is the Love
Eminem - Real Slim Shady (maybe Stan)

Swede

[Vince Young]

LOSE YOURSELF

I'm into havin' sex I ain't into makin' love so come give me a hug, we end up gettin drunk

[soko]

Fallout Boy - Sugar We're Going Down is a GREAT song the first 200 times i've heard it, I still think it's great but I don't like to keep listening to it.

[man]

I'm pretty sure it's Hey Ya.

I can't think of much else on the radio that I actually like.

was lose yourself really in the last five years? time flies. or it goes slowly. I can't tell which.

[Chairman Wood]

Hey Ya - Outkast
Ignition (Remix) R. Kelly
Rock Your Body - Justin Timberlake
Murder on the Dance Floor - I used to hate this song but it really caught on to me and I don't know who its by,

[Chairman Wood]

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't really think any of these really count as pop song, at least post 2000 contempory pop other than the Black Eyed Peas
Edit : I take that back the eminmen song definately is.

[MarkL444]

i think if you say 3 years its easier to answer hey ya...but 5 years, damn there has to have been more

[swede123]

I'd be curious how you define pop if you wouldn't include bands like Nickelback or Jet.

Swede

[IndieMatty]

1. Hey Ya
2. Since You've Been Gone
3. Crazy Right Now

[EMcWilliams]

I have a weakness for the Killers Mr. Brightside

I also for some reason like the Enrique Song- Escape

[diebitter]

[ QUOTE ]
Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl


[/ QUOTE ]
Is this the one that sounds a little like Iggy Pop's 'Lust for life?'

Cos I change mine to this if it is!
