The most heart-breaking thing about 2000 was the fact that the 90s were over. After a decade of big ballads, what was the new millennium going to bring us? Luckily the transition was not too drastic, as 2000 retained some of the characteristics that were so present in the preceding decade. The teen-pop blowout of the 90s continued as Britney, Christina, and NSYNC continued to rule the charts. Faith Hill and Madonna started the decade with a new change in sound, Destiny's Child really rose to fame this year, as well as newcomer Pink, who would go on to become more and more popular with each passing single. There was still plenty to love this year, and with their peak positions on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard year-end charts, here are the best 40 songs of the start of a new era in music:
