Title: Top One Hit Wonders of the Aughts

Pretty good list except where's "Hey There Delilah: by the Plain White-Ts and our beloved "Closing Time" by Semisonic.  Glad to see "Butterfly" by Crazy Town made the list, and my personal favorite, "This Is Why I'm Hot" by MIMS (psst, answer:  'cause I'm fly).

"Closing Time" was released in, like, 1997.

C'mon, be honest, aren't you just a little embarrassed that you know that?

Italian dance trio Eiffel 65, whose name was generated at random by a computer program ...

It seems like that could describe half the bands on the list, and a lot of the music as well ...

As long as we're recapping the Aughts, here's one of my favorite Onion articles of the decade:

I have more or less completely avoided pop music for the last 13-15 years.  I kind of remember that Too Short song.  Have I missed anything?
