By 2002 pop was kinda dead and replaced by R&B/Hip Hop in America. And the pop songs that did chart higher leaned more towards pop-rock like Avril, Pink or Michelle Branch

It's also the year it seems of non-english songs being hits across the continent: Asereje, Perdono, Desenchantee, Torero, Tu Es Foutu, Como Te Quiero, etc Some great vocal trance bangers with Ian Van Dahl "Try" and N-Trance "Forever" being my absolute favorites

She was already doing great even before she sold her catalog nice try

Make Me, Invitation, Mood Ring, Just Luv Me, If I'm Dancing and Swimming In The Stars rise above the others

I will never forget that MTV EMA performance, so iconic!

Yes but she was smart in the way she handled those topics, she wasnt in your face about her activism in fact a lot of it was behind the scenes. You dont see republicans going after her because of that, she knew to not talk about politics cause half her fans were conservative, her own words. This is why i'm laughing at people saying Jane Fonda in this thread when she is hated by half the country since the Vietnam war, lets be real. I dont think anyone is up there with Dolly, a recent poll showed she was rated the most favorable american, and it wasnt even close. I'd say Celine Dion probably ranks pretty high too

And she went out with such a banger of an album! Its not perfect, but its mostly composed of great songs that have aged well

While not my favorite Christina song, objectively speaking I think this might be her artistic peak. Not only does she sound incredible, the lyrics and the visuals go together amazing and its just a song/video that whenever I revisit I'm always impressed and never get bored of watching (unlike Beautiful). So do you agree? Is "Hurt" Xtina at her best?

BOMT and Toxic above 1m again

I think people tend to revisit ballads less often when it comes to streaming them. Adele is doing remarkably well considering

Can't believe Gracie is doing that well

Some of those are recent hits. The others were bigger internationally than Halo.
