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 7, we said good-bye to Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough For Me," the 10th-biggest song of 2000, leaving only 4 songs from the top 10 in contention.
