Beyonce, Rihanna, And Gwen Stefani Had The Top Hits Of 2007
The year 2007 was when the economy began its collapse, thanks to the mortgage crisis and the housing bubble bursting. It was also the year of the Virginia Tech massacre. Movies such as Spider-Man 3, Transformers, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix led the box office.
In terms of music, female artists truly ruled. Beyonce’s album B’Day had a difficult start in 2006, but by 2007, it produced one of the biggest hits of her career. Rihanna turned into a superstar in 2007, while Fergie proved that big girls don’t cry. Let’s take a look at the top five hits of 2007 as compiled by Billboard and reported on by Music Outfitters.
5. T-Pain (featuring Yung Joc), “Buy You a Drank”
“Buy You a Drank” was a No. 1 hit at the end of May in 2007. This top hit spent 17 weeks in the top 10. As Songfacts notes, several rap songs are mentioned in the lyrics: Lil Scrappy’s “Money in the Bank,” Lil Jon’s, “Snap Yo Fingers,” Lil Boosie’s “Zoom,” 50 Cent’s “Just a Lil Bit” and Unk’s “Walk It Out.”
4. Fergie, “Big Girls Don’t Cry”
Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry” was No. 1 in September of 2007 and became a feminist anthem of sorts for the 2000’s. It was taken from Fergie’s 2006 debut solo album TheDuchess. To date, it’s been Fergie’s biggest hit.
