So, I'd been anticipating my decade-chart for months now but I kept telling myself to be patient and wait until closer to the end of the year to make it. So I did. I waited and I thought about what songs to put on it and whenever a song came on my ipod that I felt should be included, I tagged it by giving it a rating as to draw attention to it for later. Of course, the middle to end of December always gets so busy and I still have yearend charts to do so I was finally able to compile my list of my favourite 100 songs of the last decade. This was particularly exciting for me to make because it was the first full decade I went through as a music fan. I love the 90s but I only got into music in 1994 so when I made my Best of the 90s list, it was heavy on the mid-to-late 90s with just a select few from the early decade. This list is pretty even. And it was fun to make. How I made it I selected every song in my iTunes from 2000s. I had over 9000 songs. From there, I picked out individually each song that stood out to me in terms of having a special meaning for me or that I remembered really loving at any given point in the decade. Or songs that did really well on my personal charts. I ended up with over 500 songs and from there, I gave ratings. Five stars went to songs that were guaranteed to make it, no questions asked. Four stars went to songs I loved but that I understood would have to compete with others to make it and then three stars for songs just below that level. For the 5-star songs, I made sure to not do duplicate songs by one artist and tried to do so again when giving out 4-star ratings. 3-star ratings often went to songs by artists with songs already ranked. So here's my list of songs that, to me, represent the decade. I love each and every song here. Some songs have personal meaning, some songs bring back fun memories and some I just think are amazing songs that might not hold special meaning but I just really love them. #100Postal Service | The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (2002) The Postal Service appear on a lot of decade-lists but if it's a song mentioned, it's typically 'Such Great Heights'. I always preferred this song from them. The chorus always gets me! #99MGMT | Time To Pretend (2009) This song almost changed music for me. Well, it did temporarily. I occasionally feel like music is becoming stale but in early 2009, I felt it immensely to the point where I didn't want to listen to anything on my iPod so on a whim, I went and picked out a few CDs but bands I'd never heard of. This song (and album) became a new obsession for me. It was so raw and retro but at the same time, so new. #98Incubus | Megalomaniac (2004) The year of 2004 holds a lot of fond memories for me. In the late Spring and early Summer particularly I did a lot of things with friends and hung out a lot and went out a lot and it was fun. I was 20. While at work, we often had the rock station on so I liked a lot of rock and alternative from that period. One of my favourites was Megalomaniac from Incubus. Brings me back to that time every time I hear it. #97Jack Johnson | Flake (2002) Just a very chill song with a cool breakdown near the end. #96Black Eyed Peas | My Humps (2005) This song will likely make a lot of Worst Of lists because of its high novelty factor but I personally think this song is genius. A song so pointless and stupid but at the same time so incredibly catchy. Alanis Morissette helped give this song legendary status with her cover. #95Decemberists | O Valencia! (2007) An instant favourite of mine. Helped introduce me more to "indie" music but the popular indie music that indie-fans like. A friend of mine was one of those at the time so in some ways, this song reminds me of him and that general period when I went to school and did a Recording Arts program. #94Gigi D'Agostino | I'll Fly With You (2000) Plainly put, I think this song is catchy. I always thought it was fun and catchy to listen to. #93Snow Patrol with Martha Wainwright | Set The Fire To The Next Bar (2007) I always thought this to be a magnificent duet and their voices go so well together. The music is epic too and I once came up with a music video for the song in my head. #92Travis | Side (2001) Admittedly, I don't know a lot from Travis other than a few of their earlier songs but I always loved this one. I also really love the video with the aliens at the end. It was always so eerie but transparent. You knew it wasn't real. Very X-Filesy. In that sense, almost 90s. But this is 2001ish. #91Gnarls Barkley | Crazy (2006) I do love Cee-Lo's soulful voice and I love the album art that accompanies every album and single from Gnarls Barkley. Matched in greatness only by the album covers of the Scissor Sisters (well, I'm sure there are others but these two stick out to me right now). This song is just fun and easily one of the biggest hits of the decade. I enjoyed it!

#90Jack's Mannequin | The Mixed Tape (2006) I like this song because it's such a young-love-type song. Guys making mix tapes for their girlfriends and they're both in their early 20s and still able to live carefree with road trips and weekend beach parties and all that stuff. This song might not be a happy song but there was happiness somewhere in there. #89David Gray | Please Forgive Me (2001) This song is very mysterious sounding. Light techno beat but it's clearly a piano ballad. I like the depth to this one. #88Eminem | Superman (2002) Eminem was always known for his lyrics and rapping skills. This song doesn't really highlight any of those but I always loved the rhythmic mid-tempo beat to this. Eminem doesn't have a lot of songs in the style of Superman. But this is one of my favourites from him. #87Arcade Fire | Rebellion (Lies) (2005) The Arcade Fire almost seem like a larger-than-life band following Neon Bible but back with their first album, they still had the band-next-door persona and this was my first experience with them. Not sure what to add about this song. It was different at the time. Different production, obvious classic rock influences. Fun times...! #86Chantal Kreviazuk | Time (2003) This will shock everyone who knows me but this is Chantal's only appearance on this chart. She was a favourite of mine for years and I still love her albums but as far as being a single-song artist, she wasn't particularly strong. I liked her for her albums but she didn't really have particularly strong songs themselves this decade. In the 90s, I think she placed 4 or 5 songs in my best of the 90s list however. Time is probably my favourite song from her this decade but it was close between In This Life as well. I chose Time because it does remind me more of my first year of university and the fall/winter of that year. It's almost sentimental. #85Moldy Peaches | Anyone Else But You (2008) This song was my obsession in the early part of 2008. I was absolutely in love with this and the entire Juno Soundtrack and I think this represents a lot of that period of time for me. Very simple. For some reason, this song and soundtrack also brings me back to the fall of 2004 and early 2005 and the fond memories I have of that time, which I will allude to later on I'm sure. Anyway, this song is pretty awesome and carefree and I like music like that. It's good to just shut yourself off from the world sometimes and put on songs like this once in awhile. #84Lady GaGa | Bad Romance (2009) Originally, Paparazzi was the song that represented Lady Gaga. It was much lower but when I thought about it, I realized I couldn't leave Bad Romance off the list. So Paparazzi got bumped off and I tacked this on last minute. It also doesn't match up with my 2009 yearend chart but I figure the time between making that and making this made me realize the significance Bad Romance is taking both in my life and in pop culture. I think the song as a whole is genius and I'm certain it will go down with most of the rest of this chart as being a classic for me as well! #83Frou Frou | Let Go (2005) This song is important for a number of reasons. It's my introduction to Frou Frou, whom I later fell in love with. Also, my introduction to Imogen Heap, who played a huge role in my life musically in the second half of the decade. I also consider Imogen and, to a lesser extent, Frou Frou as being the soundtrack to my one and only relationship I've had. I first heard and started liking 'Let Go' in early 2005 when I got the Garden State soundtrack based on its reputation as an indie/cult favourite. But when I met my first bf and discovered he loved Frou Frou, my love for this song grew. The Frou Frou CD (which was hard to find at the time) was also my first gift to him as well. It all started with Let Go. Both representative of myself at the time (letting go and going with the flow) but also ironic at the same time (not being able to let go after it ended). #82Avril Lavigne | Fall To Pieces (2004) I started loving Avril's songs with her first album but it was her second album that really won me over with a few specific songs. Fall To Pieces was probably the last song that I super fell in love with but I do absolutely love it. Sentimentally, it's from that period of mid-to-late 2004 where I was getting over a certain crush I had. I'm glad I didn't get sick of the song from that period because it became one of my most played songs of 2005 as well. #81Imogen Heap | Goodnight And Go (2005) Another song with sentimental meaning. Get used to 'em, guys... This song became special when my then-bf said it was the song from Immi's album that reminded him most of me and when we read the lyrics together, it was so incredibly cute. Whenever I hear this song, I think about how cute the lyrics are and it's amazing.

Not really a fan of "Time To Pretend". I much prefer "Electric Feel" and "Kids". Don't like Incubus beyond "Drive", but overall, I think they're overrated. Gonna edit some more commentary on the positive stuff later, but good start Mr. Embee.

Fantastic to see Time To Pretend on here, I also love it, and feel that it changed music for me for a little while. I felt so connected to that song for a long time, and never understood why. It just got to me in a different way that music usually doesn't.
Nice to also see My Humps, Travis, Jack's Mannequin, Snow Patrol, David Gray, Lady GaGa and Avril.
I also like Anyone Else But You, but I MUCH prefer the Michael Cera/Ellen Page version, not sure why.

Travis' song is cool. Have you listened to "Writing To Reach You"? that's an even better song by them

#80Christina Aguilera | Beautiful (2002) I occasionally complain about certain types of vocalists and how certain types of songs lack emotion but for some reason, I do like Christina's vocals on this song and I love the message. Very cliché but still very universal. I also quite like the video and I think it took guts to put some of the scenes that appeared in this video, which I think was simple but very effective and beautiful. I think Christina hit an ace with this one. #79soulDecision | Gravity (2001) This song is probably THE guilty pleasure of the decade. I didn't listen to it for more than half of the decade but rediscovered it early in 2009 and thought, wow! I still love this song. When it was a current back in 2001, I did love it and I will admit... for some reason, this song kind of turned me on. LOL! It was the gay in me begging to come out. lol! I think this is so cute! #78Dixie Chicks | Voice Inside My Head (2006) I wish I had more room to put more songs from the Dixie Chicks on my chart. Unfortunately, I did have to leave Goodbye Earl off but I will mention it here and bow my head for a second. This particular song I think is a definite highlight off of Taking The Long Way. I think the vocals are strong, the music is tight and the song itself is just amazing. It's probably the biggest step from country that any song from that album takes, roaming into Sheryl Crow Americana/Pop territory. It's too bad Natalie doesn't feel connected to it so she doesn't care for it... thus they didn't perform it when I was lucky enough to see them in 2006! #77Kathleen Edwards | Back To Me (2005) Upon the release of this particular song by Kathleen Edwards, it was when I knew just how much of a grasp she and her music had taken on me. This was an instant hit for me and certainly remains one of my favourites from her. I always liked the lyrical layout and the alt/country sound of the music but that it got airplay on the Hot AC station here in Halifax. I think Kathleen gets tons of respect from people that know her but she's still underrated. This song is a great start! #76Kate Nash | Foundations (2008) I'd never been a fan of most British music. Being exposed to a fair amount of British rock the few years prior to this, I didn't care for most of it and pop music didn't tickle my fancy either. But for some reason, Kate Nash helped open me up to the style of Brit-pop a bit more. Tongue-in-cheek, clever and bitchy, full of British accent, and full of attitude and flair. I like this song because of the amount of fun lines it contains. My favourite: "You've gone and got sick on my trainers/I only got these yesterday!/Oh gosh I cannot be bothered with this." But most of the rest of the song contains classic lines. #75U2 | Beautiful Day (2000) U2 remains one of the top touring bands in the world, and I think they will be for years to come, but their music in particular seems to have taken a nosedive in terms of significance. They can still push out good tracks but all-in-all, I think they've past their prime of significant originality, most of which happened in the 80s and early 90s depending on who you ask. Their 2000 album All That You Can't Leave Behind was an instant classic to be added to their list of important recordings. The song that kicked it all off: Beautiful Day. This song is epic and sums up U2 perfectly. #74Audioslave | I Am The Highway (2004) This is another song from the period of early 2004. Listening to it I remember: a girl, a workplace, a girl's boyfriend, disappointment, but loads of good times. Yeah, it was my first and last crush on a girl and it was pretty intense for me. No regrets though. It helps that it's backed up by awesome music, such as this song. #73Tegan and Sara | My Number (2000) This song stands out immensely from the rest of the album it comes from. The production is a huge step up and the song feels so much more developed. It instantly became a favourite of mine from T&S's entire library because it sounded so different from most of their other songs. An epic ballad with big drums and big vocals. #72Jason Mraz | You And I Both (2004) Before I'm Yours became one of the biggest hits of the decade, Jason Mraz was doing songs like You And I Both. Not a huge stretch in difference but I think this song has much more life and is overall more catchy. It was one of my most played songs of 2004 and just kind of slipped into classic-status in my books. #71Eminem | Lose Yourself (2002) It's kind of a shame that I didn't care for this song while it was out. In time, I took to warming up to it and I think it's one of those songs that helps define a decade. When looking back on the 2000s, Lose Yourself deserves a place in the list of songs that made the decade. It's Eminem being positive and providing a message that is surprisingly universal using his own experiences.

Great to see U2, Jason Mraz, Eminem and Christina in this group. I haven't heard Gravity by Soul Decision, but I LOVED Faded, so I think I'll go check it out.

#70Sarah Slean | Sweet Ones (2002) Back in the early part of the decade, I would often be caught off guard with songs by female vocalists that were instrument-based and had a very obviously Canadian sound. I could pick a Canadian female singer/songwriter out immediately. Sarah Slean was one of those when I heard Sweet Ones on the radio. Immediately, the song caught my attention and held it. I didn't warm up to most of Sarah's material right away though but it was Sweet Ones and Bank Accounts (2002) that held my attention long enough until she eventually became one of my favourite singers. I've seen her 6 times in concert too! #69Final Fantasy | This Lamb Sells Condos (2006) Most people on this forum only appreciate vocals over anything else in a song. So unfortunately, they'll never be able to appreciate this song. The piano is incredible and is what grabbed me immediately. It's just amazingly fun and the arrangement is great. I also must commend the album title. He Poos Clouds is my favourite album title ever! #68Sarah Harmer | Escarpment Blues (2005) Sarah Harmer came out of nowhere with her I'm A Mountain album. The first song from it that I gave any attention was this beautiful tribute to the Ontario Escarpment in which she sings about the development of the land for buildings and pavement. This is a true folk song and she really means it since she's spent the better part of the last five years working with environmentalists on protecting this and other land areas. #67Amy MacDonald | This Is The Life (2009) I feel like anything I say here will be repeating what I've said in the Best of 2009 thread. So I'll just say I really like this song. #66Jenn Grant | Parachutes (2009) Another newer song that represents the decade. I love the simplistic nature of this recording. It's very basic but still a quality song. Jenn is from Halifax so it's also nice to have something local that can stand up against everything else in music. #65Rihanna featuring Jay-Z | Umbrella (2007) I'll start off by saying it's a pretty big feat that Rihanna can go from being one of my most disliked new artists of the decade to having a song I absolutely loved. It's rare that an act can do a 360 like that. I think the pop culture impact of Umbrella is great, the song is catchy, the production is top notch and the video is done well. I also especially like the Travis Barker mix, which is my preferred choice when I listen to this song. #64Kate Maki | Someone Better (2005) Kate Maki is from Ontario but I believe she's musically based in Halifax. I doubt anyone on here would know or recognize her but she has a couple of lo-fi/folk-rock albums for a catalog thus far. She goes for an absolutely no-frills approach with both her recording and albums. My favourite song from that is Someone Better which is alt-folk with a small horn section and lyrics I think a lot of people can relate to when in relationships where they feel partially trapped. "I'm watching/I'm waiting for something/for someone better to come along/Is that wrong?" #63Joel Plaskett | Through And Through And Through (2009) I didn't realize there were so many local acts in this group of songs. Joel Plaskett is also from Nova Scotia. This is a track from his 3-disc, 27-track album Three. I think the instrumentation on this song is amazing. It's very casual, as if it's just being recorded with no purpose other than to jam and have fun in the basement. But at the same time, the recording oozes confidence. I also love the backup vocalists. I always get the impression that Joel and the backup singers are on equal footing as far as this song (and the rest of the album) goes. It just feels like such a warm and friendly song. #62Chris Brown | Forever (2008) Is it wrong that Chris Brown's song is higher than Rihanna's? I just happen to really like Forever. Chris sounds smooth in it. The production is fantastic. The beat is tight. The music is catchy. It's an all-around great song. It's also great to hear it at the club. #61Jann Arden featuring Jim Cuddy | Mend (2000) Of all the songs on this entire chart, this is probably the one most likely to make me bawl immediately. Even now, it's hard to listen to it. Me and my bf had a stupid fight over something that resulted in me walking off (having not had much of a backbone, this was a pretty big deal in the relationship). Later that night, he messaged me online and simply sent me the mp3 to this song and told me to listen to it, which I did. We talked a bit and he eventually came over to my house with a note. I didn't read the note, I just held him and everything was fine. I don't know how long I went before I finally read the note but along with it were the lyrics to this song which he had written out for me. Since then, hearing the words to this make me appreciate that simple gesture so much more and that's why I absolutely love this song. Because it represents a gesture someone made for me that involved them actually *doing* something and going out of their way. That's what I always appreciate most.

Rihanna and Chris do get my votes here, but I'd have placed Umbrella higher. It's fantastic. Forever isn't even my favourite Chris Brown song, and indeed it chated horribly on my personal, but over time I've begun to like it more and more.

Totally disagree with you on My Humps but I really like that Chris Brown Track, it is by far his Best Single and was my #13 of 2008.
I Also don't mind that Eminem Track.

Thanks for the comments and such so far guys. I want to have the rest of the chart posted by the end of the weekend because I need to compile my favourite albums of the decade.... I fear by then everyone will be countdowned out so I may hold off on that one for a bit as well?

If you had it ready, I'd say post it. There have been plenty of countdowns, but they are slowing down now, and there haven't been many album ones, so it'd be a different one.

#60Sheryl Crow | The First Cut Is The Deepest (2004) I think from the first line of this song, I was hooked. Easily Sheryl's best song this decade and a perfect fit for her Best Of compilation. Sheryl has made a lot of great songs in her career so far and I think (and hope) that she has a lot more recording to go because she is pretty reliable as an artist. This cover is one of her highlights. #59Powderfinger | My Happiness (2001) I don't remember how I came across this song in the early part of the decade since Powderfinger are Australian and didn't get any airplay on any station I listened to until 2004's On My Mind. I think I saw it on a personal chart back in the day and downloaded it and loved it instantly. It just has that... sound, you know? #58Dragonette | Gone Too Far (2009) My #2 song of 2009. I just absolutely love this song. Martina does the vocals great with her quirkiness. I love the banjo over the heavy beat. It's a super cute song. "I've learned my lesson and I'll stay after school!!!!" #57Tori Amos | Taxi Ride (2002) One of Tori's more poppy sounding songs this decade, this one caught my off guard one winter's day in early 2003. I had Scarlet's Walk for a few months at this point and was listening to it and the song jumped out at me. I lived on campus at the time so it usually took me just a song or two to walk from my dorm to class so for a week, I always put on this song and listened to it both ways. It was an obsession. It was also the album's second single. #56Ne-Yo | Closer (2008) Repeating what I said about Forever a bit back, this song has a great beat and a catchy chorus. And a plus if the club plays it. #55New Pornographers | The Bleeding Hearts Show (2005) What I like about this song is the build-up. It starts off on a quieter note as it slowly introduces drums and more guitars. The two verses make you anticipate the second half of the song which is this incredible chanting musical orgasm! Used the right way, it can induce tears of happiness or sorrow. I used the last portion of the song on a DVD to end it with videos and photos of the family dog that had died a few years ago. Can't speak for anyone else but it made me cry. Musically, it's one of those songs of celebration you'd hear at a funeral. It's beautiful and magical! #54Scissor Sisters | Take Your Mama (2005) This was another brief musical obsession for me when I first heard it. I always loved the lyrics and singing along to it and the chorus was great. Although I'll admit the song did mislead me into what type of band the Scissor Sisters were. I figured they would be more of an indie pop/rock/triple-A type band as opposed to a brit/pop/electro band. It ended well though. They still have good songs but nothing that topped this one. #53Lee Ann Womack | I Hope You Dance (2000) The inclusion of this song is highly unlikely and wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances because admittedly, it's not really among my favourites. However, I was reminded of the song and given a new appreciation of it in a Neuroscience class in my third year. It was a full-year course, I believe, and the prof was an older lady. I remember one of the earlier classes during random non-class-related banter, she brought up this song for some reason. Saying she loved that song 'I Hope You Dance' but I don't think she knew who sang it or anything. I didn't think anything else of it at the time but at the very last class, following review for the final exam, as a way to finalize the class, she followed the slides with lyrics from this song; one line at a time. At first I was like... those lines sound familiar. I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice To sit it out or dance I hope you dance. It was probably the most touching moment in any university class I've had. You get this attachment to some of your profs where their classes become a part of your everyday routine so it was kind of sad that this was the last class. It was very nice. #52Martina Sorbara | Casanova (2002) Martina Sorbara was one of my top discoveries of the decade. Her album is top notch and it was tough to somewhat limit the number of songs from it to place on this chart. But I figured since I'd also be doing an album chart, I'd let the album be its own reward there and just pick the individual songs that I liked/listened to the most and place them on this chart. Casanova is easily among my favourites on the album. Although I've listened to it nearly constantly since getting The Cure For Bad Deeds in 2002, I'm still able to remember back when I first got the album and the smells attached to my first fall in Halifax and walking to school and the trees. It's a nice feeling. The feeling of newness, a whole new city at my feet to explore and discover. #51Imogen Heap | Headlock (2005) I'm going to admit that before Imogen Heap, I was a bit of a music snob in the sense that I felt that music had, or should, be authentically recorded. If you couldn't play a song live, then recording it synthetically, with computers and stuff was a cop-out. But learning more about Imogen and how amazing her songs sound, being mostly electronic, my mind changed. Now I have the firm belief that if you can use computers to manipulate sounds to result in an awesome song, why not? Music is meant to be made and enjoyed in many different ways and subscribing to the belief that it HAS to be live off the floor or made with ONLY real instruments is pretty closed-minded. The same thing with people refusing to accept digital recording over tape-recording in studios. Both have their pros and cons. Anyway, Headlock is the first song from Imogen I heard and loved it immediately. The production value of this is out of this world! The combination of sounds is amazing. The really bass-y sound in the chorus isn't a drum, like I originally thought, but actually that of a gay. Immi says in the liner notes: "Sexy male voices."
