Hey everyone! I love these end-of-decade music games, but some of them are taking forever (or they've been completely abandoned), so I'm starting my own. This musical chairs game will take the 25 biggest hits of each year in the 2000s, according to the Billboard Hot 100, and slowly eliminate them until we find the ultimate song of the decade... according to you, the members of ATRL! As usual, a couple of rules to keep in mind:
1. I will begin each round (unless I explicitly state otherwise).
2. You can only save one song each round (unless I explicitly state otherwise).
3. You cannot save the same song in back-to-back rounds (and I'm serious about this one).
At the end of round 5, we said good-bye to two more of 2001's biggest urban hits (and two hot-ass collaborations):
"Angel," by Shaggy ft. Rayvon, the 17th-biggest hit of the year
"Ride Wit Me," by Nelly ft. City Spud, the 18th-biggest hit of the year
We are one step away from our top 10, so let's move on too...

Two more eliminations. Two more top 10 hits of 2001 gone. Two more black artists kicked to the curb. And two more of my personal favorites say goodbye:
"All For You," by Janet, the 3rd-biggest hit of year
"Let Me Blow Ya Mind," by Eve ft. Gwen Stefani, the 7th-biggest hit of the year
We have now reach our top 10, six of which were also among the top 10 biggest hits of 2001. Without further ado...
