Best year for mainstream pop in the 21st century

2000 because it's the closest to the 20th century

>>74877066
There was a lot of good nostagliacore in 2009. Just going down the list of year-end hot 100 singles:
>poker face, just dance, lovegame
>heartless, love lockdown
>i gotta feeling
>womanizer
>blame it
>best i ever had
>single ladies
>day n nite
>hot n cold
>disturbia
>green light

I look at today's top 100 and there are virtually no good pop songs.

2000 is in 20th century you moron

>>74877066
That shitty Black Eyed Peas album came out in 2009 though.

Because this masterpiece dropped in 2009

2004

>Teardrops On My Guitar

Holy shit, Taylor Swift has been around for 10 years now, feels a lot shorter than that honestly.

>>74879680

2010 was a pretty good year for mainstream pop music for me.

2000 and 2001 were astonishingly bad years for pop music. That was the year of rock music ruining its last bit of respectability with Creed, Nickleback and Papa Roach.

>>74880660
Forgot

Ellie Goulding - Bright Lights
>Under The Sheets
>Starry Eyed
>Guns and Horses
>Lights (Fear of Tigers remix)

This seems like the taste of a generic white girl, it's so forgettable and throwaway compared to everything else posted itt.

>>74879520
You've convinced me. Looking through the 2007 top hits I see so many memorable songs compared to 2009. This seems to be the final year before the T-pain style over-the-top autotune songs and awful mumbly rap beats really started started to dominate the top hits list.

It depends on what you mean by mainstream.

Bjork's Vespertine came out in 2001. Not sure if it's mainstream pop but it's better than every record named in this thread so far.

>>74877066
2006
Amy and Nelly> Fadga and the rest of those talentless hoes

>>74878428
I can't tell if this is bait or if you're genuinely retarded.

okay but Toxic came out in 2003 so

>>74883443
not as good as Taylor Swift - Speak Now tbqhwyfam
