I've come up with a list of classics from the 2000s decade, since a lot of you don't seem to know what classics are. ACTUAL classics, not fomo'd ones. I used the list of Billboard top ten hits to help jog my memory, so anything that didn't peak there is off the list. Did I miss anything? (Don't come at me, Britney and Rihanna stans.)
I've purposely omitted "Just Dance," "Poker Face," and "Bad Romance" because I can't give an unbiased opinion. Y'all tell me. I would say "Poker Face" is likely one. The other two might be a stretch.

Beverly Hills isn't a classic. Buddy Holly and Say It Ain't So are, though. And their first two albums are classics, as well.
And Unwell for Matchbox Twenty? Bent (went #1) and If You're Gone are definitely more famous. Rob would have Smooth with Santana, but that's from the 90s.
