Pop Impact: The Greatest Song Of The Noughties Is….

Published: Friday 28th Jun 2013 by David

As our celebration of ‘Dangerously In Love‘s 10th birthday comes to an end, TGJ HQ got to thinking.

It may not always feel like it, but the last ten years have given the world no shortage of groundbreaking Pop classics.

From GaGa‘s ‘Pokerface‘ to Usher’s ‘Confessions’, Janet‘s ‘All For U’ to Drake‘s ‘The Motto‘, many an act has seen their cuts rise from potential hits to the soundtrack of many a summer-or in some cases- a lifetime.

So, putting genres lines aside, we’re asking you to name the one song you feel’s had the most impact on Popular culture and the world at large- released between January 1st 2000…and today!

After a week, we’ll pick the 20 cuts that are named the most in the comment section below and send those songs straight to the final, where you’ll be able to vote for your winner on That Grape Juice ‘Greatest Song of The Noughties’ poll.

More below!













Remember, chart positions and sales aren’t the only factors that can be taken into account here.

Did the song spawn a new catchphrase? A crazy dance move perhaps…or anything that changed the game for better or for worse.

Get listing below!

  27. BeyWhoUWanna June 27, 2013

    My preacher preached against Rihanna on Sunday. I laughed at first but now I see she really is the w**** of whores. Advertising her v***** wherever she can but the prices always stay low.

    • Navy Sailor June 27, 2013

      You’re probably sleeping with your preacher too. Tell him to incorporate that into his sermon next Sunday. 🙂

      • BeyWhoUWanna June 27, 2013

        You sinful b****! How dare you suggest that. My preacher is a good MARRIED man and I don’t get down like that. SOME of us have morals, unlike that p**** spreading s*** b**** you worship.

      • Navy Sailor June 27, 2013

        Oh please!! The married preachers are the main ones sleeping with little boys…..then they try to sit up there and judge mother fuckers. Please. Sweep around your own front porch boo. And lest not forget the pastor who bashed Jay and Beyonce for being illuminati and devil worshippers. 😆 you can find that on YouTube. *flips nonexistent hair and floats away*

      • BeyWhoUWanna June 27, 2013

        You worried about my preacher so much, you forgot to ask if I bought the holy water for Rihanna’s P****. #TeamHerpes

      • Yea Whateva June 27, 2013

    • Yea Whateva June 27, 2013

  30. POP ROYALTY [RUDE BOY] June 27, 2013

    I don’t like this kind of posts……

    Every artist ruled for a certain year or so , what is the big deal , also the answer will be so subjective.

    I will say Britney’s “baby on more time” changed the whole face of music, I don’t even use her, but she actually did that.

    I wasn’t so aware of the music scene before 2003 , but i will tell you about songs that was so popular and i felt it’s impact outside of the internet..

    2003 : CIL
    2004 : Me against the music – Britney and madonna
    2005 : yeah – usher / Mariah – WBT / Rihanna – pon de replay
    2006 : Justin timberlake – sexyback
    2007 : Hips don’t lie – shakira / Umbrella – rihanna
    2008 : Poker face – Lady gaga
    2009 : bad romance – lady gaga
    2010 : Rihanna – Love The way you Lie
    2011 : Adele – Rolling in the Deep
    2012 : Rihanna – We found Love
    2013 : Rihanna – Diamonds

    • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 27, 2013

      I agree with your comment, but…

      “Baby, One More Time… Changed the face of music”?

      Girl… Every non-Pop fan would HIGHLY disagree.

      I’m sure you meant to reword that differently. But yes, that song did have an undeniable affect on 21st Century Pop Culture.

      🙂

      • POP ROYALTY [RUDE BOY] June 27, 2013

        well , I wanted to put it in other ways…….

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 27, 2013

      • POP ROYALTY [RUDE BOY] June 27, 2013

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 27, 2013

        YES.

        I LOVE THAT SONG.

        But, my favourite, will always be “I’m a S****… 4 U”.

    Mariah Carey – We Belong Together.

  40. Ska June 27, 2013

    Definitely Beautiful, by Christina Aguilera. Not only is it a timeless song, with a timeless lyric and killer vocals, but Christina was preaching a message of tolerance, self acceptance and respect ages before Gaga for example. And those values are THE values of the 00’s.

  41. sweeettiie June 27, 2013

    BEAUTIFUL- CHRISTINA AGUILERA!!!

  42. royalkev June 27, 2013

    the one song you feel’s had the most impact on Popular culture

    ——————————————
    #1 Beyonce – Single Ladies
    This one will p*** people off, but references of this song is still made to this day (i.e. ‘He better put a ring on it’). This was an anthem.

    #2 Beyonce – Crazy In Love
    It’s ranked #1 by practically everyone that you can think of as the best song of the last decade! It deserves that respect as well.

    #3 Adele – Rolling in the Deep
    I guess! …

    #4 Lady Gaga – Bad Romance
    This is brutal honesty here, because I don’t care for this woman, but this song is one of those hits she’ll still be able to perform in somebody’s greasy nightclub years from now and still earn 20K.

    #5 Britney Spears – Gimme More
    It’s Britney B*tch! Classic! #Impact

    #6 Justin Timberlake – S*** Back
    That song defines pop. It has every ingredient in it that would make America fall in love with this media darling.

    #7 Rihanna – Umbrella
    The Eh,eh’s put the girl on the map.

    #8 Mariah Carey – We Belong Together
    This was a “big ballad” and Mariah’s signature song, and that’s saying a lot after 18 #1’s!

    #9 Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
    This is the closest thing to having a pop song with a strong message (a la Janet … it’s Pop music with substance).

    #10 Destiny’s Child – Independent Women
    The song was another anthem that ruled every damn thing!

    A. Keys(Fallin’), Usher(Yeah!), Amy Winehouse(Rehab), Ciara(Goodies), Janet(AFY), Madonna(Hung Up), Jlo (Love Don’t Cost a Thing), Nelly Furtado (Promiscuous), Fergie(London Bridge) and Gwen Stefani(Holla Back) all deserve a honorable mention too.

    • king June 27, 2013

      even though single ladies gave us the line “put a ring on it”, single ladies was not a good son to me.It has a great video which displayed beyonce playing to her strength. It didn’t have amazing vocals or anything so i am amazed that people would even consider that.Even if people said halo or if i were a boy, but single ladies?really?

      • Yaz June 28, 2013

        That’s your opinion^ Why are you pressed by people giving Beyoncé credit?

      • Yaz June 28, 2013

        Its about IMPACT. Not whether the song was good in your opinion

    1980s = Endless Love (9 weeks @ number 1)
    Lionel Richie & Diana Ross
    Michael Jackson was the #1 artist of the 1980s USA & WORLDWIDE

    1990s = One Sweet Day (16 weeks @ number 1)
    Mariah Carey & Boys 2 Men
    Mariah Carey was the #1 female of the 1990s but the most successful of the decade in America was Garth Brooks WORLDWIDE Celine Dion I think….

    Janet! All For You! Umbrella and We Belong Together are a close second and third.

  48. S****** Blonde June 27, 2013

    Depends if we are taken into account only US charts of worldwide hits, ‘We Belong Together’ must have been a hit in the US and in some part of the world but it wasn’t certainly as big as ‘Hung Up’ which peaked at number one in charts of 41 countries and earning a place in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records, as the song topping the charts in most countries, howerver we should also take into consideration impact and i think Pop music didn’t have a real impact in the 2000’s, don’t even try with ‘Crazy in Love’…I think it was rock music, i mean songs such as ‘Viva La Vida’, ‘MR Brightside’ have much more impact, just the same way ‘Smells Like T*** Spirit’ had in the 90’s despite of the success of the likes of Mariah, Janet, MJ, Madonna, Celine and Whitney, it’s rare because is not mainstream music but still make its impact on popular culture, Pop music has been declined since the beginning of 2000 but other songs such as ‘Rehab’, ‘Shake Ya Ass’ or ‘You’re Beautiful’ are also part of the most well known songs on the 2000’s, so lots of artists had success with their own type of music, at least a the beginning of 2000’s, that’s the big difference with this generation, just one genre is dominating (Generic dance) and is TRASH and if you don’t jump in the bandwagon, the artist won’t probably have success on the mainstream charts, i remember when all artists from every kind of genre were all having success, Britney, Destiny’s Child, Linkin Park, Eminem, Outkast, Missy ect, ect…after 2005, music became s***.

    Here’s a few of fav. songs of the past decade, singles only, male and famale singers.

    1- Clocks – Coldplay
    2- Here is Gone – Goo Goo Dolls
    3- All These Things That I’ve Done – The Killers
    4- Crawling – Linkin Park
    5- S** on Fire – Kings of Leon
    6- Get Together – Madonna
    7- Try It On My Own – Whitney Houston
    8- We Belong Together – Mariah Carey
    9- A New Day Has Come – Celine Dion
    10 – Doesn’t Really Matter – Janet Jackson
    11 – Stronger – Britney

  49. FAF June 27, 2013

    Amy Winehouse “Rehab” Mariah “It’s like that” Christina “Beautiful” Beyonce CIL/ “Single Ladies”

    Bc to me, even though WBT was #1, “It’s like that” was the breakout song that got spun on urban

    Just bc a song was #1, doesnt mean it had IMPACT TGJ y’all stanning for charts 😆 keeps me in stitches with these forgettable #1s

    • Team Tasia June 27, 2013

      It’s Like That was very FORGETTABLE. WBT is a classic .

  50. Lolz June 27, 2013

    BEYONCE ALREADY HAS THE OFFICIAL TITLE!

    • king June 27, 2013

      we go by billboards to determine our hit songs, not vh1

      • JoJo June 27, 2013

        OMG DEAD

      • Yaz June 28, 2013

        And Crazy in Love had huge Impact on Billboards. Your point?

  51. Jack June 27, 2013

    Hard one.. When I think of songs that really made impact in music or really contributed to music ( good or bad )
    Sales aside these are my picks ( that came to mind ) :

    # Britney – Baby, One More Time
    She launched the pop era with that song.. Rest is history

    # Britney – S**** 4 You
    Need I say more ?

    # Rihanna – Umbrella
    Huge hit and this song made it clear.. She’s here to stay.

    # Justin Timberlake – Cry Me A River

    # Mariah Carey – We Belong Together

    # Nelly Furtado – I’m Like A Bird

    # Mary J Blidge – No Drama

    # 50 Cent – In The Club

    # Destiny’s Child – Survivor

    # Pink, Mya, Christina, Lil’ Kim – Lady Marmalade

    So far so good.. More coming!

  52. Loyalty June 27, 2013

    Well, considering MRS CARTER already has the official song of the DECADE as much is this makes people seethe I can see why. 10 years later the song does not sound dated and even still no matter what race, class, religion etc. you are the first thing everyone knows what to do is the UH OH dance. It was such a banger at the time and is just affiliated with the dance floor and unleashing the inner diva in EVERYONE.

    But IMO

    Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
    Britney Spears – Toxic
    Madonna – Hung Up
    Lady Gaga – Poker Face
    Amy Winehouse – Rehab
    Rihanna – Umbrella
    Usher – Yeah!
    Beyonce – Single Ladies
    Outkast – Hey Ya
    Destinys Child – Independent Woman
    Justin Timberlake Cry Me a River

    …are some of the biggest too!

  56. king June 27, 2013

    we belong together for sure.And even though vh1 named crazy in love as their song of the decade, mariah has the billboards certification which tops vh1 any day.It won two grammy awards and was certified double platinum, it spent 14 weeks at no.1,hot 100 air play song of the decade,and much more.

    • danny b June 28, 2013

      Crazy won 2 grammys, sold 1.7 mil, & reached #1 on 7 charts. The only thing WBT has on CIL is its # of weeks at #1. So whats your point? You can go tit for tat but CIL had the bigger impact at the end of the day regardless of numbers.

    • Yaz June 28, 2013

      We Belong Together cant touch Crazy in Love when it comes to WW impact honey.

  57. JoJo June 27, 2013

    Crazy in Love!!!

    No shade but We Belong together was local, it was a hit in my country but its impact wasnt huge and not really on POP more R&B. I know it was barely used at all in some European countries.

  60. Jack June 28, 2013

    * I want it that way is from The Backstreetboys not N*Sync

  61. jj Rihanna Navy June 28, 2013

    Honestly I’ve never been sooooooo crazed by Single Ladies beyonce,it was around late 2008 early 2009 that satellite television was becoming very popular in south africa,and so everyone who got DsTv was dancing to it,I mean EVERYONE,THIS SONG IS THE U.L.T.I.M.A.T.E GANGNUM STYLE!!! In 2010 shakira’s WAKA WAKA was on EVERYONE’S PHONE.B4 all this irreplaceable was very popular on radio,just after the HUGE mariah careys WE BELONG TOGETHER.I WAS INTRODUCED TO BEYONCE BY HER FIRST SINGLE,Crazy in love,it was nice but its impact was not bigger than single ladies choreography which was referred to by many commercials,for the first time I was part of a WHOLE-SCHOOL parody video,which got viral.RiHANna’s umbrella had the catchiest hook,everybody knew it,and at that time even if you live under a rock you would know who rihanna is,HOWEVER as much as I love my fav I can’t deny how in every house you’d find family members dance in the living room wiTh beyonce on mtv.Single Ladies was just exciting + no matter what size or shape,if you learned it,you could do it,straight gay whatever,single ladies was a genius hit.It was also nice to see a complete transformation of beyonce,Sasha Fierce was quite captivating,even when it started to burn out blogs where on fire about this new character and that’s when people who have nothing to do would spend time writing interesting articles about new world order,sasha,hova,and illuminati.As for bey,love her or hate her,YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HER AND HER RINGTONE SONG: single ladies.So my verdict is: BEY SINGLE LADIES followed by WE Belong Together MC followed by UMBRELLA RIh followed by POKER FACE LG (not sure bout this one).BUT THE TOP FIVE M U S T H A V E single ladies, umbrella and we belong together.#1 single ladies

    Impact means the song was influential in terms of what other artists would do in the years following its release.

    Fallin’ – Alicia Keys: Rebirth of old school soul. India.Arie, musiq, Amy Winehouse, and Adele would continue this trend.

    Forever – Chris Brown: Not sure when the Euro-tech craze started in the USA, but this song was part of the leading edge. Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Sia, and others would take this further.

    Get Low – Lil Jon: Birth of the crunk craze of the mid-naughts.

    I Kissed a Girl – Katy Perry: Pure pop-rock confection. Pop was about to take the Hot 100 back and kick hip hop and r&b to the side (for a while).

    Party Rock Anthem – LMFAO: Paved the way for their other hits and Macklemore.

    Suit & Tie – Justin Timberlake: Made r&b cool again. Case-in-point is Blurred Lines, the current #1.

    • Marley June 28, 2013

      No. It just means how big the songs where in that era of pop music.

  68. Navy Nick June 28, 2013

    Honestly, how can you pick 1? All have so many different meanings & all so positive, in their own rights. JANET is QUEEN, MARIAH is QUEEN, BEYONCE is QUEEN, Christina, Ciara & Rihanna all are QUEENS in their own lane! Lady Gaga, Drake, the list goes on, MICHAEL come on-HISTORY! I can’t pick just 1 song-I need categories! 😉
