Take a Walk Down Memory Lane With These Long-Lost One-Hit Wonders of the 2000s

Say whatever the heck you want about the Y2K era—it was a mess, everyone lacked fashion sense, the frosty makeup was beyond cringe-worthy, etc.—but the one thing that you can't criticize is the quality of the music. While we were being spoon-fed bop after bop by powerhouses like Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, and more, we were also getting top-notch content from other stars in the pop, rock, and rap space who have since faded into obscurity. That's right, we are talking about the best one-hit wonders of the 2000s.

So since you are clearly ready to fall down the rabbit hole with all the songs from 2000 to 2009 that were once stuck in your head on repeat (you did click on this highly nostalgic article, after all), here's a recap of the artists who burned ridiculously bright before not-so-gradually fading away from the public's collective consciousness. And yes, asking yourself "Where are they now?" on a loop is completely encouraged.
