The Decade In Review: Singles

This list was a lot harder to compile than the albums list. There was no shortage of great singles in the 2000s and narrowing them down was tough! So, of course, there are some glaring omissions here - Daft Punk "One More Time," U2 "Beautiful Day," and all the great Destiny's Child singles, to name just a few - and I welcome your input and feedback in the comments. I should also point out that this is just a list of radio-released singles; if this was a list of the decade's best songs, I'm pretty certain the list would look a lot different outside of the top ten or twenty, which are pretty untouchable no matter how you slice it. Enjoy!
