The Killers- Somebody Told me/ Human
Madonna- Hung Up
Scissor Sisters- I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
Outkast- Hey ya
Lady GaGa- Bad Romance
Shakira- Whenever, Wherever
Beyonce- Crazy in Love
Florence and The Machine- Dog Days
La Roux- In For the Kill
Gorillaz- Dare/Feel Good Inc.
Mark Ronson- Stop Me

Gotta be Gaga - 'Bad Romance' however lots and lots of strong contenders.

Anyone else finding this REALLY hard?

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
Avril Lavinge - Girlfriend
P!nk - So What

'Beautiful', Christina Aguilera; one of the greatest pop songs of all time.

However, 'Bad Romance' is possibly the best pop song we have had in a very long time. I don't know if she can top that.

Also,

'Hole in the head' Sugababes
'Bleeding love' Leona
'Just Dance' GaGa
'Move your feet' Junior, Senior
'All the things she said' Tatu
'Maneater' Nelly Furtado
'Dirrty' Xtina
'Aint no other man' Christina
'Sexyback' Justin
'Toxic' Britney
'Rehab' Amy Winehouse
'Mercy' Duffy


One of my personal faves from this year is actually 'Not Myself Tonight'. Underrated.

You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve by Johnny Boy. Criminally overlooked and critically adored.

Toxic- Britney
Like I Love You/Sexy Back- Justin Timberlake
Dirrty- Christina Aguilera
Outkast- Ms Jackson (if you call that pop)
Kylie- Love at First Sight/In Your Eyes
Dido- White Flag
Darren Styles- Insatiable
Ashanti- Only You

Mariah Carey - 'We Belong Together'

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance is the best song of the last 10 years imo

Bad Romance/Call The Shots, with Toxic and Bleeding Love and Hearbeats (The Knife original) coming close. Although Poker Face and Paparazzi are up there too.

Using a very narrow definition of 'Pop':

Daft Punk - One More Time
Justin Timberlake - Lovestoned
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Cee-Lo Green - F*ck you
Britney - Toxic
Nelly Furtado - Maneater


And about a hundred others! I think the last 5 years in particular has been a phenomenal half decade for pop music. I would put Daft Punk at the top, although I am biased, but that song is just so joyful and celebratory, I could think of a million moments where it just made me grin like an idiot.

The Supermen Lovers - Starlight is in with a shout as well.

Keane - Everybody's Changing. I still enjoy hearing that.
Robyn - I Can Hear Your Heartbeat
Owl City - Fireflies
Cee-Lo Green - Forget You (a real soul classic and I sing it out loud)

i think this thread has gone along way to dismissing the myth that theres no good pop songs about in modern times (especially from oldies).

outkast - hey yah
gorillaz - feel good inc
robyn - with every heartbeat

plus most of lady gaga's are prime examples of good pop music.

Christina Aguilera - Fighter! I love that song.

Lady Gaga - Telephone!!!!! No Contest!!!!

Not as big a hit as it deserved to be but I thought Remedy by Little Boots was a catchy wee number.

Great song, I agree! Definitely gets my vote, one of my favourite songs of the last 10 years no doubt about it.

Their "Johnny Boy Theme" is a top tune as well.

That song is probably my favourite Christina song. Its so powerful and really hits a nerve with me.

Today is the 10th anniversary of Don't Stop Moving reaching no 1. So the Royal Wedding is not the only memorable news today! I haven't liked any subsequent no 1s as much since.

Three masterpieces nobody's mentioned yet:

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - 'Mixed-Up World'

Liberty X - 'Just A Little'

Sugababes - 'Overload'

That "always remember me" song not sure who its by but it was class.

Stacey Orrico - More to Life
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
Michelle Branch - Everywhere
Greenday - Wake Me Up When September Ends

The stand outs for me.

EDIT: Forgot Junior Senior - Move Your Feet

spinning around by kylie minogue

Classic pop song. Its actually the best pop song ever imo

hmmm Pop songs

Don't stop Movin (yes S Club but still a very good and catchy song)

Shine (Take That)

Wake me up when september ends (Borderline Pop but an excellent song) (Green Day)

britney, girls aloud, black eyed peas, christina, lady gaga, katy perry have all had amaaaazing pop songs!
