1997-2002 Rock Streaming Hits Rankdown (completed)

[nickd]

Top 1997-2002 Rock Songs on Spotify


For my first rankdown, I'm going to do the most streamed "Millenial" rock songs on Spotify, with a limit of one song per artist. As a younger Millenial, many of these are among the songs that had the biggest impact on me during my middle school days, with the mid-00s hits corresponding to my high school days. These years were when Nu Metal and Pop-Punk/Punk-Rock went mainstream, Post-Grunge was at its peak and alt-rock/pop-rock was generating hit after hit.

These 40 songs range from 129 million to 617 million streams.

13 of them fell short of the Hot 100 entirely, including The Scientist by Coldplay, the most streamed song of the bunch, which even in the UK only peaked at #10. Only 15 of these were Top 10 hits, and only two were #1 hits, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith, as well as How You Remind Me by Nickelback, which was also the only song to make it to #1 on the Year End Hot 100 chart. 

Just to compare, the songs that made it to #1 on the Year End Hot 100 chart for the 5 remaining years (1997-2001) only have between 26 million and 133 million streams.

The deadline for now will be March 16, 2019 at 11:20pm EST. Just PM me your ranking of the songs from 1 to 40.

RESULTS

[crazyb]

I see my top 2

[Nick P]

I know and like a lot of these so I’ll try to send

[Deleted]

Wow what a great list.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Aside from 5 songs these are all my favs, so comming up with that bottom 10 is gonna be hard enough. Looks great. count me in.

[ClevelandRox]

I only needed to look up 4 songs, this was a great list! My top 15 were impossible!

[Walking Contradiction]

"Rollin'" is really one of the most streamed rock songs? Wow.

edit: also, is "In Too Deep" actually streamed more than "Fat Lip", or did you just opt to include the former over the latter?

[WILL]

definitely doing this

[Deleted]

I'll do this but some of these songs don't even qualify as rock.

Fair enough, I was using a fairly loose definition, I agree that Angels, Torn, Your Body Is A Wonderland and Complicated are pretty pop.

I'm sensing some Limp Bizkit shade.  :kii:

Sum 41's most streamed songs on Spotify

In Too Deep: 139m
Fat Lip: 128m
Still Waiting: 107m
The Hell Song: 61m
Pieces: 54m

Fat Lip is listed as #1 on "Most Popular" though, so that means it's probably getting more streams now and might catch up.

I'm starting to work on a list for a similar rankdown for 2004-2009 rock songs, feel free to let me know if you think any of those should be disqualified.

2001, but its streams are pretty low so that's why I didn't include it (didn't want to have an excessive number of songs to rank).

[Beno]

Sent for this

Please, please don't tank New Slang because comparatively it's far less popular than most, if not all of this list.

[nickd]

So the first band I was a fan of after starting to listen to my own music is band that my friend kept making fun of me for liking. Their song is at #4 out of the 6 submissions so far and I'm feeling pretty vindicated.

[nickd]

Man, the bottom two songs are really getting their lashings so far.

[maine]

I'm probably going to be able to submit for this in the future.

Just finished my list, here's your two week reminder:

Maybe some of you guys that signed up for general would be interested too? A lot of these are pretty well known by the GP and crossed over to Top 40 radio/Hot 100.

I think You're Beautiful can slide.

The same can't be said for Hey Soul Sister, though.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

So what you do here is you compile your lists, switch them upside down, and you pretty much will have my list. oh yeah I see me getting last place in PULSE closeness for this one. Except Limp Bizkit. That might be one we all agree on?

13 of them fell short of the Hot 100 entirely, including The Scientist by Coldplay, the most streamed song of the bunch, which even in the UK only peaked at #10. Only 5 of these were Top 10 hits, and only one was a #1 hit, How You Remind Me by Nickelback, which was also the only song to make it to #1 on the Year End Hot 100 chart. 

"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" was also a #1 hit, wasn't it?
Anyways, I do very much want to do this, and I plan on it.

Yeah, you're right, I was looking at the wrong column in my table when I wrote that. It was actually 5 songs that were Top 10 Hits on the Year End Hot 100, and 15 songs that were Top 10 Hits on the weekly charts, including Aerosmith joining Nickelback at #1. 

[nickd]

Just under a week to submit, let me know if you want to be untagged.
