Comments by "A.J. Hart" (@cobbler88) on "Top 10 Billboard Chart Topping Rock Songs of the 2000s" video.

So rather than actually citing the statistically proveable top 10 Billboard chart-toppers of the decade, these are just an arbitrary list of No. 1s. Got it.

Mainstream music has declined to the point that those who prophesied that Prince and Madonna were way ahead of their times are being proven correct. We just didn't realize that "ahead of their time" meant that eventually everything would be as shitty as Prince and Madonna dance pop. In another few years, all post-Zooropa U2 will seem palatable as well (and I think I'm being a little generous regarding U2's jumping of the shark).
