Original Rank: #19 The first great song of the 2000s (released in Oct 2000). As we move further from the decade, U2's relevance has faded slightly, but "Beautiful Day" remains a soaring, redemptive rock anthem that kicked off the millennium with hope before 9/11 changed everything. 3. "Umbrella" – Rihanna ft. Jay-Z (2007) You can't escape it. During the London rainstorms of 2024, pubs played it. The UPD list recognizes "Umbrella" as the definitive pop single of the late 2000s. It launched Rihanna into icon status, introduced the "ella ella" stutter, and features one of Jay-Z’s most quotable opening verses. 2. "Crazy in Love" – Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z (2003) The original #1. Why did it drop? Not because it's worse, but because Beyoncé has since eclipsed this era with Lemonade and Renaissance . "Crazy in Love" feels like a prologue to a greater story now, whereas the actual #1 feels like a final statement. 1. "Mr. Brightside" – The Killers (2004) Yes, we moved it to #1.

Here is the correction for 2025: "Mr. Brightside" never left the cultural consciousness. It is the only song from the 2000s that has increased in streams every single year since 2012. It is a karaoke emergency. It is the last dance song. It is a meme ("Coming out of my cage"). It is a wedding standard. It is a breakup anthem. It is a sports victory lap.
