I'd say Timbaland in general defined the mid-2000s Pop charts

But for 2006, I'd say this pretty much defined that year, this song was inescapable, everyone still remembers it, and was either very well received by critics and listeners, or deeply hated, there was no in between.

Plus, it's the song that made Justin the megastar he is today

2013 was definitely all about this song.

In a year where Miley and Katy Perry were at their absolute worst, Bro Country was at its' peak, and mediocre Trap producers were plastering the same beat over every song, Lorde's minimalist anthem about anti-materialism is probably the one song from that year that everyone remembers, and its' influence is seen in many mainstream artists today (Halsey, Daya, Alessia Cara).

Only song from 2004 that's still relevant today

All eyes were on Green Day in 2004, and this song brought together audiences of several different music scenes (Pop-Punk kids, emo/scene kids, radio Alt. Rock casuals, Billboard Pop radio listeners, and everyone who hated Bush)

How did this skit become so popular? Is it really because its the "whitest" Outkast song?
