What was the biggest song of 2007?

Honestly, I don't think No One was anything all that special... I mean, I’ll admit I love listening to dance music, but 2007 just didn't sit right with me. It felt like every single track was poured into the exact same minimalist mold (especially when Timbaland was basically half the producer on everything)

None of those☕.

A poll like this should include a "nothing to declare" option.

A poll like this really needs a "nothing to declare" option.

Go Maria Flores67...........go Maria Flores67 😉

And honestly, a poll like this really needs a "nothing to declare" option.

Haha, you're not wrong... at least then we'd actually know what to pick!

hehe

Sajo the rapper—Sajo the gangster

🤣

That album probably has more tracks on it than there are supposed "hits" in this list, so the whole argument is pretty much pointless anyway🙂.

Umbrella, I guess who's actually living in the wrong galaxy.

Looking at this list, I’m leaning towards Umbrella.

Infernal War - Spill The Dirty Blood of Jesus ☕

That specific album probably features more tracks than the list of potential "hits" mentioned above, so I suppose the statement doesn't quite hold water 🙂.

What I actually meant was that nearly every single track on his album carries more weight than all those songs combined—at least when you consider the artistic merit. I think I phrased things a bit clumsily

Aside from Rehab, most of these tracks are absolute garbage. Umbrella might be the biggest hit of the year, but it’s an earworm in the worst way possible... It's honestly sad how we always get these year-end charts based on what's played the most rather than what's actually good. Real quality music rarely gets airtime on the radio, let alone on MTV...

You're honestly just assaulting my eyes at this point. 🙂

Maria Garcia6 said:Instead of...

👍

my apologies 🙂

Sure, "Umbrella" is probably the biggest hit of the year, but it’s a low-quality track that honestly felt like an assault on my ears. It’s such a shame that at the start or end of every year, we focus on charts based on what gets played the most rather than what actually possesses musical merit. Those truly great songs rarely get airtime on the radio, and you'll almost never see them on MTV or similar networks.

If they had released tracks like these back in the 70s or 80s, they wouldn't have lasted a week... but today, music has lost so much of its artistic soul. People care more about a flashy music video or whether the singer is attractive than the actual composition itself—regardless of how good the song is. Most of what’s listed here is pure commercialism. I’d bet anything that legends like Led Zeppelin, Springsteen, and the rest of the icons from the golden age of rock would be absolutely devastated if they saw the state of things now. I can barely find a single bar or club where they aren't spinning tracks like these or some mindless pop trash😲😲😲 (all the quality rock'n'roll from the last century has just been pushed into oblivion)... there's a line from The Doors that feels pretty fitting right now:

This is the end, my only friend, the end...

People care way more about a flashy music video or a hot singer than the actual songwriting... regardless of whether the track holds any weight. Most of what's listed here is just pure commercial filler. I bet legends like Led Zeppelin or Springsteen would want to give up entirely seeing how things have turned out... I can barely find a bar or a club in this country that isn't playing this trash or mindless pop junk...😲😲😲 The good rock 'n' roll from the last millennium has mostly faded into obscurity... A track by The Doors would be fitting here...

This is the end, my only friend, the end...

I’m in. It’s wild that you can’t find a single bar or club around here playing decent classic rock... Nothing. We might just have to open our own spot where it's nothing but Led Zeppelin and The Doors... maybe even some Frank Zappa too... 🙂

Maria Garcia6 said:I couldn't agree more. It’s honestly baffling that there isn't a single coffee shop or club around here playing decent classic rock. It's a total void. At this rate, we'll have to open our own spot where the playlist is strictly Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and maybe even some Frank Zappa if we're feeling adventurous. 🙂

That sounds like a plan... I'll start gathering donations for a cafe out in Appalachia, and you can handle the one in Washington, D.C.... just find us a location!👍

If you didn't dig Umbrella at least once upon a time, you don't even deserve to call yourself an alternative listener.🙏

Personally, I love Rihanna to this day, and she provides me with immense satisfaction—whenever the rain starts hitting my umbrella, it's the perfect soundtrack for my ears.🤣🤣(umbrella=an umbrella)

I didn't find Rihanna all that irritating until they started playing her on every single music channel. No matter where I tune in: Rihanna.😠
For heaven's sake, give me a break.😳
