You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Compiling a playlist for the holiday so hit me with your recommendations for upbeat 00s pop and dance tunes.
Supermen lovers - Starlight as an example. Blinding tune! Don't need a youtube link, just type it!! but if you want to I won't stop you. :oD
THANK YOU!
Ok, but just cos it's the best video ever
Moloko - Sing it Back?
Well, we all know dem Scanndinavyuns is da best at upbeat pop
Stardust - Music Sounds Better with you (is that 90's)
Girls Aloud - Biology and Sound of The Underground
Sugarbabes - Push The Button
Amy Winehouse, Tears Dry on Their Own
Rudimental - Feel the Love
There's a lot of dance and not a lot of pop here chaps. To redress the balance, surely the best pop act of the 00's:
beautiful beautiful. I am leaning more towards edm than guitars so that's okay.
The 00s isn't so much important as the 'feel good' but if I didn't limit it somewhat I'd get suggestions from the entire music spectrum, so stretch it to 90s and teens if you like.
Thanks guys.
Another top video moment
not a lot of pop here chaps
Best pop song from the '00s 😀
Well, it's that or...
Lame to fame - I've jammed this tune with the original vocalist at a festival
Rachel Stevens, Sweet Dreams My LA Ex
If there's a benchmark for Brilliant Pop Music, it's basically Eurovision, and, listening to it again after a very long time, that Holly Valance song could have won Eurovision every single year for the last twenty years. It really is good, innit.
It really is good, innit.
It's top quality right to the very end 😛
Also there's
Gorillaz (loads but maybe 19-2000 for upliftiness)
Fischerspooner - Emerge
Goldfrapp - Black Cherry, Train, Strict Machine, lovely stuff
Another superb vid (Content warning: slow motion tassel work)
I prefer the original Turkish version #hipster
Came here to make sure Alphabeat, Fascination was on the list, surely the Zenith of upbeat 00's pop.
As you were.
[EDIT - had to come back to throw in S-Club 7]
Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen is a proper pop banger. 2012 though, so may not make it into your playlist!
Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen is a proper pop banger.
It really is, cheesy as hell but so uplifting!
Ah, of course, this. Excellent pop, written by a crazily talented (then) 17 year old
If there’s a benchmark for Brilliant Pop Music, it’s basically Eurovision
If you've spent your life in a gay bar in Helsinki, then possibly. Otherwise.... 😉
Anyway, if you want upbeat perfect pop music.....
2011, year out but also a total banger.
Can I post the Tatu - All The Things She Said video, or am I giving too much away now?
Alright then, the epitomy of uplifting is: Sonique - It Feels So Good

Not until you suggest The Crazy Frog
no dez, you can't.
S Club - Don't stop moving is actually an awright tune.
Xpress 2 Lazy was inspired, actually forgot that tune existed.
Not until you suggest The Crazy Frog
Never eard of it
Savage Garden
- in particular the double 'affirmation' album that includes 1 studio CD and a Live CD of the same songs - pop rock at its best... for my sins I still play it quite frequently hahahah!
Pop
Dance

This as well
And let us not forget one of the best songs ever written...
one of the best songs ever written…
Jesus... 🤨
Also this...
needs to be on any playlist
Jesus… 🤨
The OP specified pop music, a lot of suggestions so far have been dance/tekno house/pop.
Anyway, here'sanother one...
If nothing else, it demonstrates the versatility of the acoustic guitar.
There’s lots of pop I like from the 00’s and a lot of it was on Japanese side of things as for some unknown reason late 90s early 2Ks saw an explosion of far-east psych-pop it was ace.
Some Franglais to even things out a bit:
Alors on dance - stromae
Lolas Theme - the shapeshifters
Don't call me baby- madison avenue
beggin - madcon
changing = stigma & Paloma Faith
let me think about it - Ida core
I think they are all 00's
B*Witched - C'est la vie
Aqua - Roses are red
My nominations.....
Paris to Berlin, by Infernal (2004)
Dr Jones, by Aqua (1997, so falls outside your window, but was so ahead of its time it could be a mid 2000s cheesy pop banger)
Call Me Maybe, by Carly Rae Jepson (2012, so again outside of your window, but possibly the best pop song ever written)
total banger
I'd forgotton about MGMT - great pop!
I'm a massive fan of the Run Run EP from Those Dancing Days, especially for road trips, apple music tells me its 'Alternative' but its firmly in the uplifting pop bracket for me!
but possibly the best pop song ever written
Possibly already suggested
How about those DJ Fresh Lucozade ad songs. Proper poppy drum n bass vibe. Hot Right Now and Gold Dust
There should be a comma in there somewhere. He's not called DJ Fresh Lucozade 😀
That little dragon track is class. I've started two play lists now... Things I've heard before and things I haven't 😄 love exploring new music but especially in the car when you've got time to listen.
Here's another (slightly later) bit of Little Dragon
There's no love song finer. But how strange the change from major to minor. Or in this case just minor but still uplifting
And now let's ruin a fantastic thread
and get this in under the wire...

1999. TG exposure being most peoples introduction. Wide Angle is a great album.
Remixed
Cheating a bit but, 90's, teens and dance music was mentioned as possibly being preferred by the OP.

Loads more of these if it is deemed suitable 🙂
What no Britney?
Baby One More Time
^ 1998

Saucy minx is our Alison!
Can I post the Tatu – All The Things She Said video, or am I giving too much away now?
If you don’t, I will. Great power-pop, I’ve got their albums.
^^ Perve 😆
Literally everything I want to post turns out to be from 1999. I hate this game
Also, apart from coming out in 1993, Mr Jones isn't even the best song on the album. It's not even the best song on the Mr Jones single.
Bomfunk MC - Freestyler
Literally everything I want to post turns out to be from 1999
A lot of good stuff that year for some reason.
2000 on the nose
Has a pretty decent video (they're not chasing a briefcase!) as well. Might have done something similar over kinder without the tombstoning bit, Wales that isn't it?
