This Used To Be The 90s

Ages ago (1999, to be exact) I did a “Top 100 Singles Of The 90s” series here. While contemplating whether to go for a 00s one (and where to do it, if so), I decided to put a Spotify playlist of the old list together.

And here it is.

64 tracks of the 100 turned up on Spotify – mostly the better-known ones, as you’d expect. Enjoy!

With seven months left, has anyone actually come up with an appropriate name for this decade? “Noughties”, I thought, was always intended more as a gag than anything else, but it seems to have stuck.

Anyway, in anticipation of a Top 100 from the current decade, and not wishing to influence the jury one bit, my favourite singles of the 00s *so far*, in purely chronological order, are:

Mint Royale featuring Lauren Laverne – Don’t Falter (#15 in Feb 00)
Sugababes – Overload (#6 in Sep 00)
Eminem – Stan (#1 in Dec 00)
Missy Elliott – Get Ur Freak On (#4 in Apr 01)
The Streets – Has It Come To This (#18 in Oct 01)
Basement Jaxx – Where’s Your Head At (#9 in Dec 01)
Nelly – Hot In Herre (#4 in Jun 02)
Goldfrapp – Train (#23 in Apr 03)
The Darkness – I Believe In A Thing Called Love (#2 in Oct 03)
Franz Ferdinand – Take Me Out (#3 in Jan 04)
Britney Spears – Toxic (#1 in Feb 04)
Graham Coxon – Freakin’ Out (#37 in Mar 04)
Futureheads – The Hounds of Love (#8 in Mar 05)
Supergrass – St Petersburg (#2 in Aug 05)
Hot Chip – Over and Over (#32 in Mar 06)

It somewhat disappoints me that I can’t think of any good singles in nearly three years, but this may be to do with my faltering interest in the charts…

If you think ‘noughties’ is bad, brace yourself for the ‘tenties’ or worse ‘teenties’

The next decade is almost inevitably going to be called the Tweens, at least by the yelling classes* here in the States. (Noughties doesn’t work here, as “nought” isn’t our word for zero.)

And now that I’ve seem Tom’s 90s list, I’m even more satisfied with my own as an expression of my particular interests/listening habits.
