The US #1s of the 2000s Rate (Part 2: 2005-2009 - Your #1 Is...)

[Deleted member 21339]

I really have become a curse since you took over this huh, @ohnostalgia?

I didn't expect to see so few 10s for Say It Right! It had fewer than like... most if not all of the top 10? Sure the 11s compensate for some of that, but still! I think that's pretty interesting.

On that note, I love Promiscuous!

Remember that time you submitted commentary about how Fireproof wouldn't win my other rate and cursed it to second place? I'm going to have to vet your fave Tegan & Sara songs if you're going to vote in my next one.

I_CANNOT_USE_REAL_WORDS_PROPERLY_ I forget did I even give an 11 in this rate?

Hehe, I guess all the ones I predicted to win leaving one by one was your payback for that!

Anyway, I'm hardly familiar with Tegan & Sara but will definitely at least check them out if it means being a part of another one of your rates.

no. want to throw it to stronger? just kidding. not really.

 

[aaronhansome]

no. want to throw it to stronger? just kidding. not really.

seems reasonable. i'm fine with that.

 

[ohnostalgia]

seems reasonable. i'm fine with that.

Speaking of, I honestly thought You Belong With Me was a US #1 because of the 2009 DJ Earworm mashup.

 

[iheartpoptarts]

That is a lot of 11s.

No doubt this contributed to the minimalist production that so many of you love.

I was about to write about how the minimalism of it all doesn't really appeal to my taste but you know it's good if I pretty much like it regardless, and then I got to this part. Laughing at myself.

Anyway, Canada is victorious, life is good!

Thanks @Ironheade and @ohnostalgia! I've had a lot of fun, you guys have been great, and I'll definitely miss this!

 

[Deleted member 21339]

Oh god I would've 10'd You Belong With Me.

 

[Sprockrooster]

14 11s?!?! That is practically half of the voters (I am not sure how many voters), but then it was the only right winner and bless this rate for it!

Thank you so much @Ironheade for doing this! And bless rate saviour @ohnostalgia for finishing fantastically!

 

[evilsin]

YATH. A worthy winner.

Can't wait for the 2010-2015 #1s rate wink wink.

 

[Deleted member 11565]

Thanks to @Ironheade and @ohnostalgia for the rate! Not the winner I wanted, but it was still fun to follow.

 

[KAG]

I still don't get what's so special about 'Say It Right', one of my least faves from that era but all of this has been fun to do/follow. Well done to @Ironheade and @ohnostalgia, you've both done a great job with these rates.

So, there we go. "Crazy In Love" is the best Billboard Hot 100 #1 of the 2000's. Not a surprising result... although looking at the table like this, it does throw up some interesting anomalies. (How, exactly, does "Womanizer" beat out "Ms. Jackson"? I_CANNOT_USE_REAL_WORDS_PROPERLY_.) Anyway, I'll post artist and voter averages later.

 

[DJHazey]

@DJHazey I really believed when you said you gave Umbrella 0.

Wrong rate sis, I_CANNOT_USE_REAL_WORDS_PROPERLY_.

 

[Sprockrooster]

Baby Boy making top 40 barely is quite shocking too.

 

[2014]

YES Say It Right - the little song that could!


Fab stuff @ohnostalgia and @Ironheade!

 

[constantino]

BOTH of my 11s winning is a biT iconic.

[DJHazey]

Now this is what I call popjustice. I was probably going to go with Say It Right at first, but it was in a three-way tie with Big Girls Don't Cry and Poker Face. I chose Poker Face in the end, but this feels like my 11 winning as well.
