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 10, we said goodbye to our final collaboration still in contention: "Dilemma" by Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland, the 4th-biggest hit of 2002
Only a few hits remain. Let's move on to...

Poor Nelly! He was eliminated for the second straight round as we said goodbye to "Hot In Herre," the 3rd-biggest hit of 2002, leaving him with no more songs in contention.
We're down to our final five and only two top 10 hits remain! Let's move on to...

At the end of round 12, we said goodbye to one of the breakout stars of 2002: Avril Lavigne, whose "Complicated" was the 11th-biggest hit of the year.
We are one step from our finale, so let's move on to...
