00s Pop Essentials

Flipping the calendar to Y2K lit a fire under pop, and it burned brightly for the rest of the decade. The 2000s’ biggest hits came from all over pop music’s map, with hooky hip-pop, slinky electro, emotion-rich R&B, and peppy rock bumping up against each other on the charts. They all had two things in common, though: instantly memorable choruses and larger-than-life stars. Those stars came up via hip-hop hotbeds, teenpop training grounds, and MySpace pages. The Black Eyed Peas’ future visions, Kelly Clarkson’s huge pipes, and Kanye West’s raucous experimentation all helped music time-travel into the future.
