Rolling Stone’s “100 Best Songs of the 2000s” is the magazine’s take on the defining tracks of 2000–2009, assembled from a panel of 100+ artists, critics, and industry insiders. First unveiled in 2009 and later published online in June 2011, the list aims to capture the decade’s “anything-goes” musical landscape—shaped by file-sharing and playlist culture—and the way pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, indie, and dance all collided into a single shared mainstream.
