Paper Planes for sure is up there. Also, Crazy by the Gnarles was a pretty big deal. Hey Ya by OutKast....Take Me Out by Franz..... for me, that’s probably the shortlist. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
In terms of songs that defined the decade, I'd say 50 Cent's 'In Da Club' is in contention. It really helped shape the sound and vibe of mainstream rap - arguably the dominant singles genre - in the 2000s. Its mix of New York street bonafides, West Coast bounce, and disinterested Southern stripclub drawl also paved the way for the wave of post-regional hip-hop that we're still in the midst of, and it jumped right into the middle of the pop culture venn diagram where it's no surprise to hear it played at any wedding. Difficult to argue that 'Atlas', for example, is more pervasive or influential than it. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

For sure. It's not. Even if it was as pervasive, a song built on that much technical precision would have a difficult time being nearly as influential. Atlas just sounds like it's of no other time period than the 2000s.
I think you'd have to throw Rehab, Golddigger, Time to Pretend and Independent Women into the definitive songs of the decade as well. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
