British Couple Reacts to Most Popular Song Each Month in the 2000s

The tops of the charts for the US and UK are frequently not the same.

Actually, all of these top culture videos they’ve been watching are based off the UK charts, not the US charts. Madonna only had one #1 song on the hot 100 in the 2000’s, but she had four songs in this video.

I think you could have easily missed them if you were a little too young to be super aware of music. They were popular when I was in high school but I grew up in an area with no pop radio or cable TV (rural Iowa) and I knew who they were but couldn’t say what songs are theirs. In my mind all of those boy bands are kind lumped together.

I know a lot of people have commented on it, but "The Reason" by Hoobastank is an all-time great. That song just hits deep and I think it was one of those songs that people would listen to when they needed a pick me up or were thinking of someone in particular. There were some really good songs, but obviously the later it goes the farther it gets away from the stuff that I really grew up with haha.

[@ki11atj49]

These were all huge in the United States

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

It's not whether the songs were good or not as good. It's because your parents were whole ass adults and this is (80's-90's) the music they played as you were in your early formative years. Study states as you get older you listen to more music from your highschool or teenage years more, than the most recent music. Hence why you probably didn't hear as much from your parents playing 2000's music. ❤

[@Zodia195]

Yeah that's what I think because as a kid I didn't realize I was listening to 60s and 70s music a lot because of my parents (especially my mom), but my fav eras are from my childhood and teen years (80s and 90s), every now and then I'll get an itch to listen to 2000s.

[@johns1385]

I realize the music of the sixties is likely not on your radar for this channel, but, much like Millie and her sister, it was the music my older brothers introduced to me as a kid. As I got older, I realized just how instrumental this music was to the rise of "popular" music. It was a decade of transitions in popular music. Rock and roll became firmly rooted. Elvis rules early and often. And then there was my favorite genre growing up, Motown which produced and popularized African American Rhythm and blues music for the masses, Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Temptations, Otis Redding, Louis Armstrong and many more. British invasion. Brits explode onto the scene in America, led by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, The Zombies, Herman's Hermits and Bee Gees to name a few. Loss of innocence in music and society. Critical lyrics become mainstream as so called "Hippie Subculture" music emerges, specifically to protest the Vietnam War and other unpopular political stances. Other American bands like the Beach Boys, The Monkeys, CCR and The Doors also fill the airwaves. I think the "2nd most popular song each month in the 1960s" best exemplifies the times. 2nd not 1st most popular.

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

My siblings are 6 & 9 years older than me (they were born in the 1960s & I was born in the early 70s) so I grew up listening to all of the bigger artists from their teens - my mom insisted on listening to country when she was around, but I have so many memories of listening to Queen, Kiss, etc when I was in elementary school. As a teenager in the later 1980s, I have my own favorites from that runs period too, so the local Classic Rock radio station plays songs from my childhood & teenage years now (they used to play the earlier stuff when the station started in the 80s) - I feel so old that the music of my youth is all considered classic now! 😂

By this time my taste in music was very defined, so unlike 80s and 90s, there might be more songs I wasn't a fan of, even if I knew it lol. Yeah I knew all of these too and I was surprised I was bopping along more than I thought. But yeah R&B and Hip Hop ruled that era for the most part with some Pop mixed in and a few other genres.
