As some of you might have seen I spent last year compiling lists of my favorite songs from 2004, which for me was one of the best (if not the best) years in music of the whole 00s decade.

Alicia Keys - "Diary"
Listening to her album in full was such a great experience last year. This song was beautifully written.
119
Chingy feat. J-Weav "One Call Away"
lol I promise there won't be anymore guilty pleasures after this set. This song reminds me of MTV.
118
Macy Gray "Love Is Gonna Get You"
One and of the most talented and less appreciated female artists out there.
117
Maria Mena - "Fragile (Free)"
I love how this girl has the ability to sing her heart out in every song. I wish she had been successful.
116
Yellowcard - "Way Away"
Like most of their later singles this one grew slowly on me. It's a lackluster compared to the rest of the album but it has its charm.
115
Delta Goodrem - "Out Of The Blue"
Australian beauty and talent take human form in Delta. One of her best singles <3.
114
Jessica Simpson - "With You"
Jessica is a weird case. She had beautiful looks and a great voice but she had to take the ****ty road like you would expect. Shame on her.
113
Blink 182 - "Down"
I remember I used to hate this song because it was a letdown compared to I Miss You. Now I got to see it from another angle and I guess it's fine.
112
Elan - "Hide Away"
Probably none of you knows this song. She's a mexican singer and she's not even known here. Anyway it's one of the best latin singles of the decade IMO. The video is epic.
111
Eminem - "Just Lose It"
I'm surprised to know a lot of people despise this song. I think it's because it's too crazy and dumb but I find it funny somehow.
110
Kylie Minogue - "I Believe In You"
After nearly 25 years of career Kylie was still dazzling me. This song is so simple yet beautiful. Kylie being Kylie.
109
John Mayer - "Clarity"
One of those songs you just listen to while you sit on your porch on a calm afternoon. He's very talented putting aside his attitude.
108
Nickelback "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good"
Second out of three singles from the Spiderman 2 OST. Not Nickelback's best though.
107
Black Eyed Peas "Hey Mama"
When I think of the HUGE gap between this song and the pieces of crap they released in the last 3 years I cringe.
106
Katy Rose - "Overdrive"
Anyone who has seen Mean Girls knows about this song. Anyway it's kinnd of catchy and funky.
105
The Cure "The End Of The World"
Oh yes Robert Smith doesn't joke around when it comes to freaky stuff. The best part is how authentic he is unlike...
104
Jet "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?"
This rock song sounds so old school and yet so catchy. Completely love it.
103
Hanson "Lost Without Each Other"
They were one of my favorite boy bands at the beginning of the decade. This album was very underrated.
102
Ryan Cabrera - "True"
Probably the best song he'd ever do. I love how honest he sounds and the lyrics and beautiful.
101
JC Chasez "All Day Long I Dream About Sex"
This whole single is just a huge LOL. How such an annoying, shallow, self centered song got to me is beyond me. But hey! I was just 14 back then .
