Dance music of Western hits from the 2000s: World-famous and popular songs (21–30)
Gimme MoreBritney Spears
When it comes to female artists who were active in the 2000s, many people probably think of Britney Spears.
She has released numerous hit songs, but the one I especially recommend is Gimme More.
Its sound—reminiscent of a mix between 1990s overground R&B and 2000s pop—is striking, resulting in a melody that distinctly evokes its era.
Hung UpMadonna
Madonna, a world-renowned female artist affectionately known as the Queen of Pop, has enjoyed an exceptionally long career, remaining at the forefront from the 1980s through the 2000s.
One of her hit songs, “Hung Up,” released in 2005, drew worldwide popularity with a musical style rooted in 1980s disco.
It’s a dance track that almost everyone has heard at least once, isn’t it?
Caught UpUsher
Usher, known as one of the quintessential R&B artists of the 2000s, tends to release R&B that leans more toward dance music than traditional R&B, and his abilities as a dancer are also highly acclaimed.
Among his songs, a track I especially recommend is Caught Up.
Released in 2004, this song is a cool R&B dance number that evokes Michael Jackson’s You Rock My World.
