Best dance-pop songs of the 2000s

The industry lost control of distribution and the music got stranger for it. Blogs did the job radio used to do. The South took the charts outright, and Kanye West began a run of reinventions that outlasted the decade he started it in.

Songs from the dance-pop albums of the 2000s, ordered by their own ratings rather than the record's.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
