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,

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

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

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

I Changed My Mind
I Just Want it to be Over
I Should've cheated
Love
Let It Go

Crime Mob one is the realness tho

Didn't read thread. Destiny's Child is the doy pick on this one.

2000 "Pure Shores"
"Black Coffee"
2001 "All Hooked Up"
2006 "Rock Steady"
2007 "Chick Fit"

YES to crime mob!

get along with you
young, fresh'n'new
milkshake
trick me
millionaire

also lil' kim has a really underrated 5-in-a-row, these are all jams:

the jump off
magic stick
thug luv
lighters up
whoa

Do You Realize??
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt.1
Fight Test
Golden Path (w/ Chems)
The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song

ok that's too far

hahaha

i actually liked Do You Realise but the other 4 are in my worst100ofthe00s xls

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.

-- stephen, Saturday, July 19, 2008 4:44 PM (2 days ago) Bookmark Link

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!

björk's isn't up to her 90s equivalent but it's still pretty good!

hidden place
pagan poetry
cocoon
it's in our hands
oceania

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

hey! that's my funeral song you're dissing there :-(

another one:

Down With Prince
Playboy
Over And Over
Boy From School
Colours

I was trying to find a good run for Bjork. That works pretty well.

Girls Dem Sugar
Feel It Boy
Bossman
Dude
King of the Dancehall

hey! that's my funeral song you're dissing there :-(

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...

Whoyouknow
Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues
To Hell with Good Intentions
Alan Is a Cowboy Killer
There Ain't No Fool in Ferguson

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

that's sort of seven insults wrapped up in one fake compliment isn't it?

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

-- billstevejim, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:54 (4 hours ago) Link

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
Fallen

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

What Y'all Want
Gotta Man
Love Is Blind
Got It All
Who's That Girl?

The Life
Good Times
I'm Black
Can U Believe It?
Blow Your Mind

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

i would take 3-6 over luda

8ball & mjg too

Ne-Yo!

So Sick
When You're Mad
Sexy Love
Because of You

and whatever's on either side of those, because THEY RULE.

Stay
So Sick
When You're Mad
Sexy Love
Because of You

^^^

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.

what a waster
