2000s Western pop hits you still hear in commercials, movies, and on the streets (41–50)
Take A Look AroundLimp Bizkit
This track is a bold arrangement of the theme from Mission: Impossible, known in Japan under the title Supai Daisakusen.
It served as the theme song for the 2000 American film Mission: Impossible 2, and as the movie became a massive hit, the song also gained widespread popularity.
Taking ChancesCéline Dion
Released in 2007, Taking Chances is her 35th album, and this track appears at the top.
The album was a massive hit, ranking within the top 10 on charts in 26 countries around the world.
A cool rock-sounding love song performed by a diva who has sold over 200 million records.
A must-listen.
Seven Nation ArmyThe White Stripes
This is an iconic 2000s rock song by the garage rock sibling duo The White Stripes, which won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
Its extremely simple yet impulsive guitar evokes the spirit of classic rock’s golden era.
Hanging By A MomentLifehouse
A song written in about 5 to 10 minutes by Jason Wade, the lead singer of Lifehouse.
It was released as a single in 2000.
In 2001, it became the most-played song on radio stations in the United States across a wide range of genres, including rock, pop, and adult contemporary.
Don’t Know WhyNorah Jones
It doesn’t fit neatly into any genre, yet somehow it’s a balm for the world—Norah Jones’s debut single.
This song, like all of Norah’s, glides by with beautiful melodies and a gentle voice, never getting in the way no matter what you’re doing.
Some even say it’s the ultimate background music for getting things done.
CaliforniaPhantom Planet
This is the song that was used as the theme for the American TV drama The O.
C.
, which also aired in Japan in 2006.
It was right around the time when foreign TV dramas were becoming popular, so I imagine many of you watched it.
The chorus line “California, here we come,” delivered with a powerful yet somehow wistful voice, is especially memorable.
Viva La VidaColdplay
A song that portrays a historic turning point continues to move our hearts even now.
Released by Coldplay in 2008, this track sings of revolutionary change from the perspective of a fallen king.
The striking strings and digital piano brilliantly capture lost glory and an unbearable fate.
Chris Martin’s affecting vocals vividly depict the transience of power and the frailty of humanity.
Included on the album “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends,” the piece marked a new frontier for the band.
When you’re facing a turning point in life or a major decision, listening to this song might give you courage.
