Poptime

Herein, I collect and count down my favorite pop, rock, r&b and hip hop singles released between the time I was born (1/74) and right this minute. Ordering is pretty loose and arbitrary until I reach the top 10 or so, when rankings will really mean something.

I'm limiting myself to things that have actually charted in the Billboard Hot 100 (or Billboard subcharts or foreign equivalents when applicable). Otherwise, trying to narrow a list down to 101 songs would be border on impossible.

  1. Artist: Kylie Minogue
    Song: Can’t Get You Out of My Head
    Year: 2002
    Highest Chart Position: #7 (Billboard Hot 100)

    Kylie Minogue had all but disappeared from US shelves for years before her massive return in 2002.  “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” was just another in a long line of singles that had been hits around the rest of the world, and it even went to #1 in just about every country with a singles chart the year immediately before it was released here.  Way to go, America!

    Six years and approximately 15,000 plays later, I still never get tired of hearing this—even in those Rooms to Go commercials with Cindy Crawford.  Better still, it bought her another go-round with American consumers and each of her successive albums have been met with open arms.
