Songs That Were Number One on the Radio This Week, in 2000-2010

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

Who doesn’t love a good throwback? Better yet, who doesn’t love a good throwback that makes you feel like you’re 300 years old? The 2000s had some pretty spectacular songs, so this week, let’s take a look at what was on Billboard 100’s Top Radio Songs from 2000 on:

 

October 6th:

“Shake Ya Tailfeather”—Nelly, P. Diddy, & Murphy Lee (October 6, 2003)

Perspective: If you’re a freshman right now (Class of 2017), you were probably in 3rd grade.

 

“Fallin’”—Alicia Keys (October 6th, 2002)

Perspective: Alicia Keys had been old enough to go to Mary Ann’s for almost two years when this song came out (She turned 22 in January that year)

 

October 7th:

 

“SexyBack”—Justin Timberlake (October 7, 2006)

Perspective: If you’re a senior right now (Class of 2014), your parents were driving you to 9th grade dances while you and your friends sang along to this song

 

“Kryptonite”—3 Doors Down (October 7th, 2000)

You don’t need perspective. That was a really, really long time ago

 

October 8th:

“Gold Digger”—Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx (October 8, 2005)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vwNcNOTVzY

Perspective: Kanye West wouldn’t interrupt Taylor Swift at the VMAs for another 4 years (see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d8S_9PZ56M)

 

October 9th:

“Goodies”—Ciara featuring Petey Pablo (October 9, 2004)

October 10th:

“I Gotta Feeling”—Black Eyed Peas (October 10th, 2009)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSD4vsh1zDA

October 11th:

“Whatever You Like”—T.I. (October 11th, 2008)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQJACVmankY
