 My 2 favorite songs of the list
Overall it's a great list. The only song I hate is "Crank That"   and the 2 Florida's songs got old and boring for me.
17/20

IN FACT THEY WERE ACTIVE SINCE 1995 but I'm counting the years since the release of their debut album Behind The Front in 1998 so back off.
And we could say Beyoncé is from the 90's, as she started with Destiny's Child.

You're talking about 'Disturbia'?
JULY 23RD
'Disturbia' - 3,949,000
AUGUST 6TH
'Disturbia' - 3,960,000 (gained 11,000 in 14 days)
So she'll reach the 4M mark in probably 2 months.

But they released their first single in 1997 and we count the year an artist's debut single was released in as the beginning. 
Britney is often said to have started in 1999 when she began in 1998.

All these songs deserves it! they were really BIG
"Bleeding Love" is a great song, I wish ballads still were that big  and I'm shocked by "Need You Now" & "Hey, Soul Sister".
Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga & Flo Rida are the faces of digital era so far.
