I think the worst offenders during that period were Soulja Boy and Shop Boyz.

Soulja Boy came along well after downloads were a part of the Hot 100 formula and Crank That was also pretty big virally, so its chart reign only would have been longer if Youtube had been part of the equation back then. |

Don't forget Lil Jon's Get Low. Quite possibly the most annoying thing I've ever heard.

The past years have been good in terms of variety in the charts. The mid-00s were really stale as the Hot 100 was almost identical with airplay with Idol coronation songs popping in every year then dropping quickly

but it don't matter no
cause I got you babe
cause we gonna fight
oh yes we gonna fight
believe we gonna fight
fight for our right to love, yeah..." |

I think the worst offenders during that period were Soulja Boy and Shop Boyz. I am one of the ten people who bought Shop Boyz' entire album and I refuse to be ashamed. I still enjoy most of it, I don't care what anyone says! I was bummed that they were relegated to being a one-hit wonder, some of their other songs had potential. "Get Low" was also my jam. Almost any difference of opinion about the urban party music of the 00s vs the pop party music of today is going to come down to genre preference. It is/was all mindless music with not one lick of lyrical substance whatsoever, and a glut of anything will cause most songs to have a high burn rate. I've seen enough complaints about Flo Rida and Pitbull to gather that they're the respective Soulja Boy/Lil' Jon of this particular music era. |

CHR has also backed away from Hip-Hop, which brought the overall levels of rhythmic songs down. If this were 2001 - 2005, 2Chainz, Kendrick and Big Sean would have had huge Hot 100 hits; probably top 5s.

There were plenty of jams from around the 2003 pop charts that I loved back in the day. If I didn't like anything from a particular period, I wouldn't have been able to maintain a personal chart. The thing that we look back on now is that there was a lot of one style of music from that period so we remember a lot of oversaturation in the same way I see people refer to 2008-2011 as another low point for pop music. Again, tons of great songs came from that period but so many of the hits from then were of the same genre.
I'll be damned if I said I didn't love Freak A Leak!

DARK ERA was in the end 90s and 2000s to 2009
in those times i was living in the us with my parents
us hot 100 were ruled by RNB + hip hop gods/godesses like Brandy, usher . toni braxton+ 50cent+ angelo etc
all that crap
for me a white boy who was interested in good music and alternative rock bands like depeche mode, coldplay, u2, prince. killers, franz ferdinand
it was a hard time
radio stations didn't play those songs by those good bands on mainstream stations

Not sure about CHR charts, but I can speak as someone that has followed the Hot 100 weekly since the 1970s. The Rhythmic Hip-Hop stranglehold of the top 20 for four or so years was unlike anything seen in the history of popular music.
Even when rock & roll debuted, or at the height of the disco heyday, at least there was a steady balance of other types of songs populating the top 20. The unrelenting tidal wave of r&b product - some stellar, some forgettable from 2001 through 2005 was simply overwhelming.

I love so many of the songs mentioned on the last two pages. Including Soulja Boy's albums. "Hey You There" is a flawless masterpiece and everyone will deal.
Past smashes of "Right Thurr" "Crank That" "Party Like a Rockstar" etc...
The good ole days. :'(

If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't see anything wrong with the post. Although I think I may be looking too much into it too. |

he didn't call him a racist boo he called him out for his foolery...you don't start post with DARK ERA and then bash a slew of black artists and take the foolery home with sayin "for me a white boy who was interested in good music"......state your opinions on what you like but leave the racial undertones at home cause we don't play that. This pop /rock elitist bullshit can stop

I think if one was to ask somebody what the defining sound of the period (for example) 1976-1980 was, some people will say it was disco, some will say it was singer-songwriter pop, some will say it was punk, some will say it was arena rock. It really depends on what kind of fan you're talking to. |

 I didn't notice the capitalized DARK ERA. That kind of changes things but I still don't think he meant bad... Even one of the "good artists" he listed was black. |
