Ahhhhhh, the 2000s! A decade of wonderful materialistic pop music! A decade where rappers really, really started to make money and wanted everyone to know about their bling. When all we wanted to do was enjoy that Clinton economic boom and feel good after 9/11 changed our entire world. Here it is! Need to bone up on your Billboard Chart history? Ever get a question at pub quiz about a one-hit-wonder and you scream in frustration? Then this series of quizzes will help you! I'll be talking about artists that only had ONE song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. I'll be doing a quiz or three (there's a lot of these songs) for every decade that the Hot 100 has been around. So, get your music brains on and let's begin!

Uh huh! This my shit! Let's get this quiz started by talking about my girl, Gwen Stefani. Her time with No Doubt never produced a #1 but she finally got to the top spot with WHAT 2005 TRACK? This song was all over the place and it was B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
Before the Rona hit our world and we still had sports, this year's Superbowl Halftime Show wowed audiences and brought much-needed latin flair to our lives. WHAT COLOMBIAN SINGER performed her 2006 hit "Hips Don't Lie" but without featured artist Wyclef Jean who also saw his only #1 with this jam?
Speaking of the ladies who performed in February, THIS 2007 SONG by Sean Kingston might be used to describe them. This reggae-influenced song samples "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King and, depending on the version you hear, might make you "suicidal" or have you "in denial."
Also in 2007, we were introduced to the Plain White T's. Their #1 song was a simple guitar ditty that captured the hearts of all the girls and described the lead singer wanting to return to his long-distance girlfriend. NAME THAT SONG.
Speaking of unrequited love, a song called "Everything You Want" hit #1 in 2000 and brought THIS BAND to the forefront. I distinctly remember a video from this band that starred Tiffani-Amber Thiessen but on further inspection, that was for one of their other big hits "You're a God."
In 2009, another simple little ditty hit #1. This time, it was by electronic artist Owl City. Fun fact: I didn't hear this song until it was covered (badly) on The Voice. Maybe the singer just didn't get a thousand hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs.
Let's head to 2001 and perhaps the most guilty pleasure song of the entire decade: Butterfly. Yes, I mean the one that goes "Come my lady, Come come my lady, You're my butterfly, Sugar baby." WHAT BAND, composed of members Epic Mazur and Shifty Shellshock, hit #1 with this DL jam?
Another song that might be considered a guilty pleasure hit the airwaves in 2006. D4L was the band's name and they name-dropped Bubble Gum, Chik-o-Stick and Jolly Rancher. WHAT OTHER CANDY BRAND provided the song's title?
Sticking on the theme of backsides, Murphy Lee got his only #1 on the 2003 hit "Shake Ya Tailfeather"? WHAT TWO RAPPERS, one a lunatic from St. Louis and the other a bad boy from New York, were credited on the track with him? (TWO ANSWERS REQUIRED)
2004 saw the release of "Slow Jamz," a track which is one of your author's favorite rap bops, and is by THIS ARTIST, who once held the title of Fastest Rapper in the World when he completed 598 syllables in just 55 seconds.
"I'm hot cause I'm fly. You ain't cause you not. This is why...This is why..." is followed by WHAT FIVE-WORD SONG TITLE that shot rapper Mims to the top spot in 2007?
In 2005, a jam of a track called "Let Me Love You" became the #1 song in America. WHAT SINGER crooned this tune? He shares his name with a certain animated plumber.
One of this author's favorite songs is a 2001 jam called "Family Affair." WHAT R&B DIVA belts this bop? Don't forget the middle initial.
Missy Elliott had a lot of proteges in her time. In 2000, one of those ladies, Aaliyah, had her only #1 with Try Again. This song was written for WHAT MOVIE which Aaliyah starred in with Jet Li?
One of Missy's other proteges, Ciara, teamed up with Petey Pablo (NORTH CAROLINAAAAAA!) on THIS 2004 SONG that was the only #1 for both.
Plagiarism Corner! Coldplay is, dependent on your view, one of the best or worst bands of the 21st century. A tick in the negative column is their borrowing of Joe Satriani's "If I Could Fly" for WHAT 2008 SONG that shared its name with the band's fourth studio album? Don't worry: Joe got an undisclosed settlement.
