2004 was 20 years ago now. These were the top 100 songs on Billboard's chart. WATTBA.

[Captain Crunch]

2004


Vs
2024

Black love interest vs cac and asian

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Just took a look at the current Hot 100 list, Future, Kendrick, Drake, and Gunna are doing the heavy lifting on the rap side, and damn near that’s it the lack of variety on the hip hop and R&B is unbelievable compared to 2004.

 

[HipHopStan]

I thought it was skeet so much they call her belly ocean.

Cause guys pull out and finish on her stomach.damn

Nah, it was Billy Ocean. Happens to the best of us, man. For a long time after “Bombs Over Baghdad” came out, I thought the song ended with the choir singing “Bible music, electric revival” only to find out it was “Power music, electric revival” later on. I know… I know.

 

[TheMailMan]

04 before I went overseas. Classic summer . If you from Detroit you gotta remember this joint

 

[Afrodroid]

Black music was dominating.

Black music like Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, Blues, Disco, Dance etc etc


Yeah, we own this shyt

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

I recognize every single song. I don’t know what the fukk is playing now. I rememeber when I learned Bad Bunny was the biggest artist in the world last year cause he showed up in WWE

I didn't even know that mf was a man cause I couldn't fathom a man calling himself Bad Bunny

Bruh, I too was a little shocked. When I saw he wasn’t American it added up immediately.

 

[Negro Caesar]

that’s a tough ass 100. recognized all those songs but 3

 

[CJ]

2004-2006 was a great time to be clubbing. Was 20-22 during that stretch. There were times where the DJs would literally have a set of like 20 songs straight that you didn't want to leave the floor to get a drink

Good times

 

[Solo_87]

Beyonce-Me, Myself & I


To me, that is her best song

One of her best



Don't think she get enough credit for the run she's had

20 yrs later and still goin

 

[MJ Truth]

Even though I was graduating high school that year so this was my prime music listening era, looking back on it, this was a pretty wack era.

 

[motionlessZombie]

How is Green Day's American Idiot or any My Chemical Romance songs off Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge not on the list? Those albums came out in 04.

 

[TEH]

And they called music garbage on SOHH and AllHipHop at the time …

 

[ThrobbingHood]

This was Usher's year

I remember before Confessions dropped, he told Timber-CAC in an interview “the real king is coming back to reclaim his crown.”

I always thought her first solo album was her best album

Me too

You could tell she spent time on that album. Her music got progressively worse. B-Day was rushed (she recorded it in two weeks), I Am Sasha Fierce was over bloated and not focused. 4 was again all over the place. I lost interest by the time her eponymous album came out.

Gotta cosign. My sister played that album every day. I actually enjoyed this song

First song I learned on the guitar. Those minor seventh chords.

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Confessions and that Destiny's Child album were heavy in my rotation
