It seemed anything could happen in the ‘00s. This playlist—which reveals the 200 most enduringly popular songs from the 2000s on Apple Music—captures the boundless optimism of the decade, with music that was made, it so often seemed, for good times only. The era’s unstoppable guitar music leads the way, with The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” the single most-streamed track of the decade, closely followed by the sticky-dance-floor anthems of Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, and Florence + the Machine. And it’s no surprise that Coldplay features so heavily here: 2000 brought the arrival of debut album Parachutes, introducing the world to a British band that would go stratospheric. The 2000s’ hip-hop and R&B remains just as enduring, from Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”—the 2002 track that won him an Oscar—to Estelle’s Kanye-featuring, still-played-at-every-house-party “American Boy” and, of course, Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love,” which remains one of the best pop songs of all time. But it wasn’t just the superstars that made this such an important decade for music culture. After the launch of iTunes and the iPod in 2001, the way music was consumed shifted forever, our “on-shuffle” habits corroding the lines between genre. And this playlist proves how fresh the songs born of that mindset remain, barrier-breaking hits like M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” and the thrilling JAY-Z/LINKIN PARK mash-up “Numb / Encore” still among the decade’s most listened-to tracks. Stars would begin to emerge from fresh corners of culture, too. There was, of course, the early-2000s explosion of TV talent contests providing a steady stream of chart-toppers, but artists including the Arctics, Lily Allen, Adele, Lady Gaga, and Kate Nash cleverly weaponized fledgling social media platforms to build fervent fanbases. This new breed of artist would rise up to have lasting impacts on modern pop. Take a trip down memory lane here.
