Another underground list.

You can't argue with that #1, though.

#1 and #16

Klaxons, MGMT, The Libertines and Arcade Fire. I totally forgot about The Strokes. There better be some Dredg, Mew, ISIS, Muse, Mogwai, Explosions In the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor on the list.

1. Beyonce – 'Crazy In Love'
5. Outkast – 'Hey Ya!'
16. Rihanna – 'Umbrella'
47. Britney Spears - 'Toxic'
61. Amy Winehouse - 'Back To Black'
71. Kelis - Milkshake
83. Destiny's Child - Independent Women, Part 1
90. Jay-Z - 'Empire State Of Mind'
97. Sugababes - 'Round Round'


You can the how the list is relevant when some of these songs aren't included:
Alicia Keys - No One, Karma, If I Ain't Got You
Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending, Complicated, I'm With You
Beyonce - Naughty Girl, If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies
BEP - Shut Up, Where Is The Love
Britney Spears - I'm A Slave 4 U, Everytime, Womanizer ('Toxic' should be in the top 5 at least)
Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats
Chris Brown - With You, Forever
Christina Aguilera - Beautiful, Ain't No Other Man
Ciara - Like A Boy
Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry
Hilary Duff - Come Clean, Stranger
Jordin Sparks - No Air
Kelly Clarkson - The Trouble With Love Is, Breakaway, Since U Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Because Of You
Lady GaGa - Poker Face, Alejandro
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
Mariah Carey - We Belong Together, Betcha Gon' Know
Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten
Ne-Yo - So Sick, Miss Independent
Pink - So What, Long Way To Happy, Get The Party Started
Paramore - Misery Bussiness
Rihanna - SOS, Unfaithful, Disturbia
Shakira - La Tortura, Hips Don't Lie
Sugababes - Every Heart Broken
Taylor Swift - Fearless, White Horse
The bolded ones should all be in the top 20.

"Since U Been Gone" is easily the best song of the decade!

Fair List overall.

^^ Kid, this is NME not the Top of the Pops.

This is very underground

Anyway, OutKast, Beyoncé, Rihanna, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & MIA are there...

47) Britney Spears- Toxic.




Duca failing as usual.

Say what you want, but Alicia, Britney, Kelly and Taylor should be in the top 10, no matter what the list is.
And once again, "Since U Been Gone" is the best song of the decade!

EDIT: Lily Allen's "LDN" and "Not Fair" should be on the list too.

halo>>>>>>>>>>>>>

at least he didnt list Ashley Tisdale tho.

You guys, it's NME! They're an alternative British music magazine. Just be happy to see "Toxic," "Umbrella" and "Crazy in Love" on the list, okay? They couldn't deny the true pop masterpieces of the decade (except "Since U Been Gone" sadly).

I only heard 5 of those 20.

IKR?
And I don't think this is an underground list. NME is a british magazine and most of those bands are very known and succesful in the UK, so.

DAMN! Two Radiohead albums in Top 20 for NME's Top 100 Albums Of The Decade (2000-2009). Kid A is a masterpiece.

And what to say about: Sufjan Stevens - Illinois at No. 17? Bow to the epicness:

Well, I love her, but I'm not stupid.

That just shows how more irrelevant this list just got.

At WTF at OutKast too many times? I don't find Speakerboxxx / The Love Below 'that' great.

U better WERQ Beyonce!
