best consecutive 5 singles of this decade

im missing big non-rap pop acts, also haven't looked up 50, kanye etc etc

also i think it's only fair to limit this to big commercial acts, so don't come in here w/ 5 songs off 2 wilco albums

destiny's child:

"say my name"
"jumpin' jumpin'"
"independent women pt. 1"
"survivor"
"bootylicious"

jay

"Can I Get A..." (featuring Amil & Ja Rule)
"Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)"
1999 "Money, Cash, Hoes" (featuring DMX)
"Jigga What, Jigga Who" (feat. Amil)
"Jigga My Nigga"

i think my vote goes to

"What's Your Fantasy" (feat. Shawnna)
"Southern Hospitality"
"Area Codes" (feat. Nate Dogg)
"Rollout (My Business)"
"Saturday (Oooh Oooh!)" (feat. Sleepy Brown)

"Like I Love You" (feat. Clipse)
"Cry Me a River"
"Rock Your Body"
"Señorita"
"SexyBack"

^^yes

by 'this decade' you mean in the last 10 years, or since 2000?

either way,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missy_Elliott_discography

haha I had a draft w/ Luda, Trick and Justin in it (but w/ "I'm Lovin' It" instead of "SexyBack")

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juvenile_discography

R. Kelly:
"Ignition"
"Snake" (featuring Big Tigger)
"Step in the Name of Love"
"Thoia Thoing"
"Happy People"

(also could go back before "Ignition" for "World's Greatest" and "Feelin' On Yo Booty" if I cheat and skip some minor singles I don't remember)

destiny's child OTM

oh man heres a winner

"Tongue Ring"
"Baby Mama" (Feat. La Chat)

"I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" (featuring Pharrell)
"Change the Game" (featuring Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek & Static)

surprising how many people fail at this! no madonna, britney, beyoncé etc.

There are probably a couple totally valid five-single sequences in here, starting with the first five.

"Through the Wire"
"All Falls Down" (feat. Syleena Johnson)
"Jesus Walks"
"The New Workout Plan"
"Slow Jamz" (feat. Twista & Jamie Foxx)

"Gold Digger" (feat. Jamie Foxx)
"Heard 'Em Say" (feat. Adam Levine)
"Touch the Sky" (feat. Lupe Fiasco)
"Drive Slow" (feat. T.I., Paul Wall and GLC)
"Can't Tell Me Nothing"
"Stronger"
"Good Life" (feat. T-Pain)
"Flashing Lights" (feat. Dwele)
"Homecoming" (feat. Chris Martin)

surprising how many people fail at this! no madonna, britney, beyoncé etc.

A) thread just started 20 minutes ago, B) stfu

oh, missy has 8 in a row this decade!

hot boyz
get ur freak on
lick shots
one minute man
take away
4 my people
work it
gossip folks

A) thread just started 20 minutes ago, B) stfu

wtf is your problem? i was talking about pop stars who fail at this, not ilm posters o_0

surprising how many people fail at this!

I was going to mention Gwen Stefani, but then "Rich Girl" and "Wind It Up" get in the way.

i like 'rich girl' but yeah, 'wind it up', not good

haha FERGIE!

london bridge
fergalicious
glamorous
big girls don't cry
clumsy

lol alex kneejerk mad at lex

sugababes:

overload
new year
run for cover
soul sound
freak like me
round round
stronger/angels with dirty faces

for a guy thats produced a bunch of my favorite songs, i dont think kanye's succeeded since his first run of 5

From 2000-2005

Bingo Bango
Romeo
Jus' 1 Kiss
Where's Your Head At
Get Me Off
Do Your Thing
Lucky Star
Good Luck
Plug It In
Oh My Gosh

That's 10 in a row, it all goes a bit pear-shaped after that though.

i like kanye's last 5 too

AGUILERA:

dirrty
beautiful
fighter
can't hold us down
the voice within (yes i like this one, so what)

i'd accept

Romeo
Jus 1 Kiss
Where's Your Head At
Get Me Off
Lucky Star

quite happily tho doesn't include any AJaxx stuff they did inbetween

can someone clarify what 'this decade' means

Body Language
Mandarine Girl
Darko
In White Rooms
Night Falls

WINZ.

keep your lists to 5 cuz there's no point if everyone's just gonna post full discogs from wikipedia

deej i mean since 2000

can someone clarify what 'this decade' means

I always assume that means 2000 onward, but J0rdan's opening post includes songs from 1998-99.

my fav i think are luda, justin and trick w/ kanye's first 5 maybe in there

haha my bad, i really thought lex meant people here failing at this thread by not listing madonna, britney, etc

haha i am in idiot

i meant 2000 on ignore anything i posted with songs not from the 2000s

haha my bad, i really thought lex meant people here failing at this thread by not listing madonna, britney, etc

so did i

"Breakaway"
"Since U Been Gone"
"Behind These Hazel Eyes"
"Because of You"
"Walk Away"

girls aloud woulda passed if they hadn't done the shitty pretenders cover

This is cheating slightly but:

Gimme The Light
Get Busy
Like Glue
Breathe
Baby Boy

yah i was only posting links to discographies cuz of the date confusion

my bad i got excited and stopped looking at dates :(

sean pual yes

"Can't Deny It" (feat. Nate Dogg)
"Young'n"
"Trade It All (Remix)" (feat. Jagged Edge & P. Diddy)
"Can't Let You Go" (feat. Lil' Mo & Mike Shorey)
"Into You" (feat. Tamia)

i dont remember the 4th one but the rest are good

made an effort at doing this w/ some mainstream rock bands but it's pretty tough, don't know if any of these are serious candidates for best of the decade:

Foo Fighters:
"Darling Nikki"
"Best Of You"
"DOA"
"No Way Back"
"The Pretender"

Jimmy Eat World:
"Lucky Denver Mint"
"Blister"
"Bleed American"
"The Middle"
"Sweetness"
"A Praise Chorus"

System Of A Down:

"Toxicity"
"Aerials"
"B.Y.O.B."
"Question!"

Good Charlotte:
"The Anthem"
"Girls & Boys"
"The Young & the Hopeless"
"Hold On"
"Predictable"

Evanescence:

"Going Under"
"My Immortal"
"Everybody's Fool"
"Call Me When You're Sober"

Fall Out Boy:
"Dance, Dance"
"A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me""
"This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race"
"Thnks fr th Mmrs"
"I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You off (Me & You)"

Linkin Park:
"In The End"
"Somewhere I Belong"
"Faint"
"Numb"
"Lying From You"

Killers:

"All These Things That I've Done"

"Sippin' on Some Syrup" (Feat. UGK & Project Pat)
"Tongue Ring"
"Baby Mama" (Feat. La Chat)
"2-Way Freak" (Feat. La Chat)
"Ridin' Spinners" (Feat. Lil' Flip)

this is serious winner for me so far tho

delete "Blister" from the JEW tally, promo-only single that I didn't mean to leave in (xpost)

"Because of You"

this song just kills me

can't get you out of my head
in your eyes
love at first sight
come into my world
slow
red blooded woman

nelly

"Country Grammar (Hot Shit)"
"E.I."
"Ride wit Me" (feat. City Spud)
"Batter Up" (feat. Murphy Lee & Ali)
"#1"

if it was "hot in herre" instead of "#1" that would be a really good string

"From tha Chuuuch to da Palace" (featuring Pharrell)
"Beautiful" (featuring Charlie Wilson & Pharrell)
"Drop It Like It's Hot" (featuring Pharrell)
"Let's Get Blown" (featuring Pharrell)
"Signs" (featuring Charlie Wilson & Justin Timberlake)

Three 6 were on some serious zeitgeist-chasing shit for a while, every single was like an anthem for some trend or accessory back then (xpost)

I refuse to accept the validity of any sequence including All These Things That I've Done.

haha xp
Killers singles would be solid without "All These Things I've Done."

would say goldfrapp but 'twist' isn't quite up there enough

fall out boy, linkin park and killers are all good

my chem released that "under pressure" cover in between three cheers/black parade :(

the baby mama trend

a release of 'handy man' might fuck this up but otherwise FUCK YEAH

heartbeats
you take my breath away
pass this on
silent shout
we share our mothers health
like a pen
marble house

of these three Outkast easy but I admit that's only cuz I don't know a couple of those TI singles

Controversial:

"In My Place"
"The Scientist"
"Clocks"
"God Put a Smile upon Your Face"
"Speed of Sound"

since i lol included outkast singles from 1998 let's go with

"Ms. Jackson"
"So Fresh, So Clean"
"The Whole World" (featuring Killer Mike)
"Hey Ya!"
"The Way You Move"

yeah coldplay is another good one

#1 Stunna
Get Your Roll On
Still Fly
Oh Yeah
This Is How We Do

could probably do Cam'ron too but I am lazy

"Hard to Explain"
"Last Nite"
"Someday"
"12:51"
"Reptilia"

INTRO
PALLADIUM
LOVE LOST
RUBICON
LUMBERJACK

damn the big tymers

yeah Big Tymers seriously consistent there

also even with crap refrain "All These Things That I've Done" is so absolutely one of the Killers' 2 or 3 best singles.

"Optimistic"
"Pyramid Song"
"Knives Out"
"I Might Be Wrong"
"There There"

ONE MORE TIME
AERODYNAMIC
DIGITAL LOVE
HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER
ROBOT ROCK

phoenix would probably win for me except "run, run, run" is weak and pushes consolation prizes off the list :(

# "Too Young" (22 May 2000)
# "If I Ever Feel Better" (22 January 2001)
# "Everything Is Everything" (EU release: 22 March 2004, UK release: 12 July 2004)
# "Run Run Run" (19 April 2004)
# "Long Distance Call" (8 May 2006)

if only they'd released 'you can't blame it on anybody'

was gonna do Daft Punk but 'robot rock' sucks really

Yeah that Daft Punk one is really let down by Robot Rock. If only they'd released one more single off Discovery.

"All These Things I've Done" is like the Killers' 6th or 7th best single.

fuck y'all this is hot

eple
poor leno
remind me/so easy
sparks
only this moment
(49 %)
what else is there?

my chem released that "under pressure" cover in between three cheers/black parade :(

-- J0rdan S., Friday, July 18, 2008 1:09 PM (13 minutes ago) Bookmark Link

my version of not including them was that they released black parade after three cheers/that "under pressure" cover :(

haha yeah i was scrolling down that list looking for my chem but then i remembered that you hate black parade

"Obstacle 1"
"Say Hello to the Angels"/"NYC"
"Slow Hands"
"Evil"
"C'mere"

(got your money)
caught out there
good stuff
get along with you
young fresh n' new
(help me)

jaymc you're really testing the Wilco Rule here

i luv u
fix up look sharp

jus a rascal

dream (well, i like it)

the Bizkit:
"Break Stuff"
"Take a Look Around"
"Rollin'"
"My Generation"
"My Way"

ha you could just cut "dream" off

SO many people listing things that weren't even singles and in the wrong order and listing 8 for the sake of it when there's a totally obvious dip in quality... ughhhhhhh

NOT ME

mushaboom
one evening
inside and out
secret heart (wobbly)
my moon my man
1234
i feel it all
sea lion woman

feist knows how to pick singles

altho a couple of those may have been canada only

yeah i don't wanna get all thread police but the point of the thread is to find a good stretch with not even one slip up (this basically rules out post-2000 jay for me)

also keep it to 5

you 38 and you still listing things that weren't even singles and in the wrong order and listing 8 for the sake of it when there's a totally obvious dip in quality UGHHHH

yeah secret heart sinks her imo. mystikal is another close one.

fandango - show us how its done or gtfo

here is a thread where "stats or gtfo" actually applies and is not condescending

J0rdan you have to allow for dissensus

lifestyles of the rich & the famous surely gets swapped in for one of those GC songs?

I would vote Outkast, Timberlake, and Basement Jaxx of those.

"Tongue Ring" is terrible, if that was out and "Stay Fly" was in, we could talk.

Destiny's Child falls off with "Survivor"

"Beer for My Horses" (feat. Willie Nelson)
"I Love This Bar"
"American Soldier"
"Whiskey Girl"
"Stays in Mexico"

survivor is passable but i don't like it, if that makes sense

yeah i dont care all that much this is still a good thread just cuz it's cool to see it all laid out at the very least

xp to blueski

lifestyles of the rich & the famous surely gets swapped in for one of those GC songs?

RONG

has it come to this?
lets push things forward
weak become heroes
don't mug yourself
(it's too late had a video but don't think it was a proper single)
fit but you know it (controversial but there's always the mcs remix)

s.l.a.p
5 star hooptie
choir practice feat j-ro & king tee
a friendly game of basketball
greater later feat devin the dude

"anything"/"hey papi" are cool but luda/big tymers/kast/juve/missy/kanye etc have better stretches than that

"Do It Again" and "Anything" are OK songs but I'd definitely consider them slip ups in terms of single choices/career moves (Jay solo track as bonus track on Beanie record, WTF)

the streets would work very well had dry your eyes come before fit but you know it.

no way pepe

when this is all burnt out everyone post their total of how many they agree with (and then kill yourself)

yeah
burn
confessions pt 2
my boo
caught up

"no escapin this"
"watch out now"
"lets get it doe"
"duck season"

yeah i was thinking usher but i hate confessions pt 2 and my boo

i guess watch out now is '99

I was tryin' to do one w/ Usher, but I couldn't get past not liking "Yeah!" and some random single I couldn't remember at the end of 8721's cycle

saying you dont like "yeah" is just challops though

em fucks this up with "drug ballad"

"The Real Slim Shady"
"The Way I Am"
"Stan" (feat. Dido)
"Drug Ballad"
"Without Me"

deej otm. i hate all usher ballads tho.

trap or die
and then what
soul survivor
go crazy
trap star

^^^yeah

ms. fat booty
umi says
oh no w/nate dogg
ms fat booty 2 w/ ghostface
jam on it

"Buck Bounce"
"You Don't Want Drama"
"Straght Cadillac Pimpin"
"Look at the Grills"
"Forever"

i think deej listed fabolous up there but if he had released "keepin it gangsta" to bump one of those loverman jams off he'd be a sleeper

i actually dont know when look at the grills was released as a single - i have the 12", but wiki claims that the singles from that album were "You Don't Want Drama", "Straght Cadillac Pimpin", "Forever", "Don't Make"

bump one of those loverman jams off

"Into You" is fire though

"Buck Bounce"
"You Don't Want Drama"
"Straght Cadillac Pimpin"
"Look at the Grills"
"Forever"

Interpol and Radiohead are both big commercial acts in the sense that they get commercial radio airplay and play arenas. I wasn't the one posting the Knife and Booka Shade singles!

ciara's string is pretty good

rihanna would walk this if she didn't keep releasing rubbishy ballads.

I would've posted the Ciara string, too, but Wikipedia lists a song called "And I" as the last single from Goodies, and I've never heard it (it barely cracked the Hot 100).

"Bad Boy for Life" (feat. Black Rob & Mark Curry) 35 13 1 13 The Saga Continues...
"Diddy" (feat. Pharrell) 66 21 23 19
"Let's Get Ill" (feat. Kelis) — — — 25 Single release only
"No More Drama" (remix) (feat. Mary J. Blige) 15 16 — 9 No More Drama/We Invented the Remix

not that a few of those arent great

I remember "And I," it had a video and it was terrible.

missy elliot's got a lot of classic singles obv but she's maybe the prime example of someone who fails this thread

"lick shots" in b/w "get ur freak on" and "one minute man"
"pussycat" in b/w "gossip folks" and "pass that dutch"

"Shake" (Ying Yang Twins featuring Pitbull)
"Everybody Get Up" (Pretty Ricky featuring Pitbull)

"Everybody Get Up" (Pretty Ricky featuring Pitbull)

:\

uh yeah wtf j0rdan lick shots is wayyyy classic

'blackout' came out in sept. '99 or redman could scrape in

lick shots is good but it flopped commercially and is not better than get ur freak on or one minute man + there are a few other weak singles off miss e... that would ruin her for this anyway

also pass that dutch is pretty shitty dude

yeah we could cheat w/ pitbull and include bojangles instead of everybody get up but :/

rappers really fudge this thing up because they always have tons of 'street singles' that didn't chart and shit that just appeared in the 2nd half of the video, like "Lik Shots"

lol feel free to have a mod edit that if its not 'proofed enough

knuck if you buck
stilettos (pumps)
i'll beat yo azz
rock yo hips

"Everybody Get Up" is a jam, totally justifieds Pretty Ricky's existence

lol does j0rdan think '4 my people' is a weak single? im still confused

id defend 'everybody get up' also

i like pretty much every missy single until 'pass that dutch'

head bussa
neva eva
no problem
money in the bank
gangsta gangsta

i tried him but i didnt count 'neva eva'

the real LCD deal:

45:33 (10/17/2006)
"all my friends" (5/28/2007)
a bunch of stuff (9/18/2007)
"someone great" (10/22/2007)
"freak out/starry eyes" (21/11/2007)

pitbull would slot in the top 6-7 i think

does deej think "take away" is a hot single im confused

common's stretch is fucked by "come close"

'take away' is a good song, i dont remember it being a single at all

neva eva counts since it was a single he rapped on from an album he was listed as the artist on

common's stretch is fucked by "come close"

'6th sense'
'the light'
'doinit' (wiki doesnt list this but i have the 12")

'food' or 'the corner', whichever you think was 'technically' first

im trying to do one for scarface but im getting contradictions on what were singles, and im sure hes released more singles than wiki/discogs can keep track of

'i can' is pretty shitty though

"I Can" is by far the most entertaining shitty Nas single, though

I Hi / Just A Man / Doobie Ashtray / Lacville 79 (12", Promo)
It's A Shame / Some Of Them (12", Promo)

a few of these counted as singles so im sure you can do something with this

"Can't Get You Out Of My Head"
"In Your Eyes"
"Love At First Sight"
"Come Into My World"
"Slow"

haha "Dear Summer" is so stretching it even further than "Neva Eva"

"American Soldier" the weak link here, I think.

Canadian singles, but I'd go with Sam Roberts:
"Brother Down"
"Don't Walk Away Eileen"
"Where Have All The Good People Gone?"
"Hard Road"
"The Gate"

Fall Out Boy:
"Dance, Dance"
"A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me""
"This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race"
"Thnks fr th Mmrs"
"I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You off (Me & You)"

I like this one, but unfortunately "The Carpal Tunnel of Love" fucks it up between "Arms Race" and "Thnks".

"God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" was a single between "Clocks" and "Speed of Sound." But "Clocks" through "Talk" would be decent. I did a Coldplay one upthread that's "In My Place" through "Speed of Sound," and that's basically because I hate "In My Place" less than I hate "Fix You."

Sure about that? It didn't reach UK #40 according to everyhit.com, which would be a bit strange with a band as huge as Coldplay.

I love "Fix You", plus I consider their first and third albums their best. Had "Rush Of Blood To The Head" never been released, then "Yellow" through "Talk" would have been an absolutely flawless run.

"Axel F"
"Popcorn"
"Jingle Bells/U Can't Touch This"
"We Are the Champions (Ding a Dang Dong)"

Roisin Murphy:

err "Movie Star"

"Sow into You"

is this really the name of a single she dropped?

God Put a Smile upon Your Face" is the fourth single from Coldplay's 2002 album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Regional singles were released for Canada, Europe, Australia, and an enhanced version for Taiwan. Promo singles were released for UK and U.S.. Since only promo copies were released, the single was only able to chart at #100 in the UK.

"Sow into You"

and NickB is totally right about Roisin even if "Movie Star" isn't actually going to get the full singles release deal

I agree with the earliest posters:

Outkast
Luda
Trick Daddy
3-6 in the mid-90s
Jay-Z had a run of like 3 separate 5-ers
Sean de Paul... where's that guy been? my high school and college life was greatly improved by hearing him at parties. I think America's healf-hearted flirtation with hearing dancehall on the charts began and ended with him. On another note: remember when BET actually played Beenie Man?

"Tim McGraw"
"Teardrops On My Guitar"
"Our Song"
"Picture to Burn"
"Should've Said No"

Hotel Yorba
Fell in Love with a Girl
Seven Nation Army
I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Hardest Button to Button

And either:

"Me and Charlie Talking"
"Bring Me Down"
"Kerosene"
"New Strings"
"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"

or

"Kerosene"
"New Strings"
"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"
"Famous in a Small Town"
"Gunpowder & Lead"

"Apollo Kids" featuring Raekwon
"Cherchez LaGhost" featuring U-God
"Never Be the Same Again" featuring Raekwon & Carl Thomas
"Ghost Showers"
"Tush" featuring Missy Elliott

Why has no one mentioned Spoon yet?

"Anything You Want"
"Everything Hits at Once"
"Someone Something"
"Jonathon Fisk"
"Stay Don't Go"
"The Way We Get By"
"I Turn My Camera On"
"Sister Jack"
"The Underdog"
"Don't You Evah"

That's ten great singles in a row!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbaland_production_discography

I think these are at least as good as the Kelly Clarkson or Fall Out Boy streaks (dunno about Eminem or Outkast or Destiny's Child but I listen to these more):

Thank You for the Venom
I'm Not OK (I Promise)
Helena
Under Pressure (with The Used)
The Ghost of You

The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage
I Write Sins Not Tragedies
But It's Better If You Do
Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
Build God, Then We'll Talk
Nine In the Afternoon

Billy Talent had some good runs but I'm not as into "Nothing to Lose" and "This Suffering".

"Aerials" fucks things up for SoAD.

(And, actually, I did listen to a lot of the Eminem and Outkast.)

Ladytron:

"Seventeen"
"Blue Jeans"
"Evil"
"Sugar"
"Destroy Everything You Touch"

just to be clear, "Impacto" is the non-Fergie version

Actually, "The Black Parade" works at the end of the MCR list.

on the Toby Keith ones, see, I think "American Soldier" is a great single. It gets a lot of play on the radio around here still. But the two xhuxk gave are pretty tremendous too. So's the Taylor Swift one; by the end of the year probably that whole record will have become (hopefully huge) singles.

To be honest, although this isn't the reason I posted it, I thought someone would take me to task on the White Stripes list upthread.

The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret
Monsters In The Parasol
No One Knows
Go With The Flow
Little Sister

The White Stripes one is missing "Dead Leaves On The Dirty Ground" which is my favorite of their singles.

"Stars & Sons"
"Cause = Time"
"Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day)"
"7/4 Shoreline"
"Fire-Eye'd Boy"

The real best Coldplay singles run:
"Bigger, Stronger" (Blue Room EP)
"Shiver"
"Yellow"
"Trouble"
"Don't Panic" (if promo singles count; if not, then "In My Place")

The real best LCD Soundsystem singles run:
"Losing My Edge"/"Beat Connection"
"Give It Up"/"Tired"
"Yeah"
"Movement"/"Yr City's a Sucker"
"Daft Punk Is Playing at My House"

not to endorse the Snrub candidate but

the real LCD deal:

45:33 (10/17/2006)
"all my friends" (5/28/2007)
a bunch of stuff (9/18/2007)
"someone great" (10/22/2007)
"freak out/starry eyes" (21/11/2007)

I'm down with calling 45:33 a single but #3 is a b-sides compilation album from #2 and #4, and #5 is another b-side from #2

2002 "Machine"
2003 "Date with the Night"
2003 "Pin"
2004 "Maps"
2004 "Y Control"

'do you realize' is like the worst hippie shit of all time

i like 'fight test' though

maps + y control + the singles from show your bones would be a great 5 also xp

rev is pretty good at this

lol @ I stand by the 10-single run by Spoon that I posted upthread.

the spoon thing is totally a joke though right? like mordy's

NO to franz ferdinand and the flaming lips ffs, the day either make a track half as good as lil' kim's worst, then we can talk

yeah yeah yeahs had a good run though!

I never expected to say this but dude I sort of hope you manage to achieve immortality.

Also SHITE TEST MORE LIKE.

"15 Feet of Pure White Snow"
"Bring It On"
"He Wants You"
"Babe, I'm On Fire"
"Nature Boy"

^most sensible thing that's been posted in this list for ages

Babe I'm On Fire was a single?? Are you sure?

Mute describes "Babe I'm On Fire (edit)" as part of a Double A-side single.

Edit?? Well that's no fun...

There's a video for the full version of the song

as per thread rules laid out at the start:

also i think it's only fair to limit this to big commercial acts, so don't come in here w/ 5 songs off 2 wilco albums

^^^^
Oops, apologies.

Anyone for:

Plug In Baby
New Born
Bliss
Hyper Music / Feeling Good
Dead Star / In Your World

?

at this point i don't think we could be listing anything but mclusky singles actually

but comparing bands like that to major acts for these purposes isn't fair to either, which is why i stated that in the beginning of the thread

anyway, i still don't think i've seen anything listed here better than big tymers, trick daddy or ludacris except maybe sean paul and justin

Mya:

The Best Of Me
Case Of The Ex
Free
My Love Is Like Woah

Okay I can't remember "Got It All" but otherwise Eve looks v. strong:

What Y'all Want

Love Is Blind
Got It All
Who's That Girl?

I only know So Sick, but you can probably count Back Like That in there somewhere

****META REVIVE****

this thread packed some lols, also some classic ringtone cru back-and-forth

mclusky could easily have also been:

There Ain't No Fool in Ferguson
1956 and all that
Undress For Success
That Man Will Not Hang
She Will Only Bring You Happiness

Damnit, Rihanna would be my choice if she didn't keep breaking up her streaks with interim so-so stuff.

"Pon de Replay" / "If It's Lovin' that You Want" / "SOS" / "Unfaithful" are all excellent, but the streak is ruined by the ho-hum "We Ride."

Similarly, the kidn of blase "Hate That I Love You" breaks up "Umbrella" / "Shut Up and Drive" / "Don't Stop the Music" on the one side and "Take a Bow" / "Disturbia" / "Rehab" on the other.

Still, probably my overall singles artist of the decade.

I see now that Tape Store up above did choose her, including "Hate That I Love You." Hmm, maybe I need to give it another shot.

"Hate" was before "Don't Stop," at least in the US

Yeah, as I (perhaps confusingly) indicated, it came between "Don't Stop the Music" and "Take a Bow."

Er, wait, I'm getting that mixed up -- now I see what you're saying. Still doesn't bring me to five consecutive good ones, I don't think.
