Song #5.The Clues: How to solve the clues?The first and second hint are references to the lyrics. These are the two existing types of people, according to the singer, the ones who entertain and the ones who observe. The third hint, a circus viewed from the outside, referred to the song title, and coincidentally (?) also the album title. Congratulations Normi, the song is...

Yeah, my first thought was '03 Bonnie & Clyde, but the X is throwing me off because I have no idea what that would have to do with Bey or Jay.

Isn't that X an album cover? Ed Sheeran and Chris Brown, but both of those albums are from this decade. Though, on the cover to The Blueprint 2, his fingers are weirdly crossed and vaguely resemble an x. That could also point to 03 B&C.

Song #6.The Clues:How to solve the clues?The first hint, an X-mark, is a reference to X-Factor, a broadcasted vocal competition originated in the UK. If you look at the girl's arms in the second hint, you'll see the roman numeral of number 3. The first and second hint put together referred to the third season of X-Factor AKA the show where the artist got discovered at. Bank robbery is a reference to the music video, as the opening of it was portraying a couple who had just committed the crime. No one get this right. The song is... LEONA LEWIS - I WILL BEAlbum: SpiritRelease Date: January 6, 2009 "I Will Be" is the sixth and final official single from Leona Lewis's debut studio album. The song is a piano-driven ballad that is also led by guitar string. The lyrics of the song is about putting one's trust to their partner and vice versa, and is originally included in Avril Lavigne's 2007 album, The Best Damn Thing. Somehow Leona version managed to be a hit overseas despite its failure to be one in the artist's native country. Is "I Will Be" Pulse's favorite 2000s Gold? Find out in this rankdown!

I know we already had a Madonna song, but Hung Up?
Here's my thoughts on the songs so far.
Sorry - For some reason, I had never sought this one out. It's not bad. I enjoy it enough.
Behind These Hazel Eyes - Adore this one, obviously, as it was my #6 in the KC rankdown. I do think it's a bit overrated here, but it's still a jam.
Complicated - Literally a classic. Can't wait to reveal where it came in on the Avril rankdown. Gonna be fun to rank it against other classics.
If You're Not the One - I don't know this one, and I haven't had time to listen to it. I know of its existence, I've just never sought it out. I enjoy Gotta Get Thru This, though.
Circus - Fucking love this one. One of Britney's best songs, IMO. Would've been a massive hit on my personal chart had it existed in 2009.
I Will Be - Not a huge fan of this one. One of Avril's more boring ballads made even more boring by Leona Lewis. It's not a bad song, just kind of meh.
Decode - One of Paramore's best! This one brings back middle school memories. Such a shame that it's not available on Spotify.

Maybe the third clue refers to that? My only other guess would be Everytime by Britney, but we already have one Britney song

Song #8.The Clues:How to solve the clues?The first and second hint is a wordplay of the song's lyrics. Hint 1, ticking clocks, AKA when the time passes by. Hint 2, Madonna in the music video of Frozen, the lyrics to this song are also literally "... you're frozen". You can find these lyrics on the same line of the first verse in this song. The third hint referred to the song title. Some random kid's bleeding wound. Hmmm... what 2000s song has those lyrics in its verse and 'bleeding' on its title? Not Coldplay! The song is... LEONA LEWIS - BLEEDING LOVEAlbum: SpiritRelease Date: October 19, 2007 "Bleeding Love" is the second official single from Leona Lewis's debut studio album. The song is a Ryan Tedder-written pop song with R&B undertones. The lyrics of the song is about someone who is extremely blinded by love in a relationship. It is by far the biggest hit of Leona's (now-deceased) career, being a number-one hit in 18 countries (with an official chart), including four weeks at the summit of the Hot 100. Is "Bleeding Love" Pulse's favorite 2000s Gold? Find out in this rankdown!
