After the music boom of 2005-2006, the die-down period could only happen in 2007. With this, new artists could take the forefront and take the music scene by storm. First there was Daughtry, led by Chris Daughtry who somehow lost American Idol. Then Taylor Swift made her small impact, followed by newcomer Sean Kingston, and then music veterans such as Beyonce, Akon, Alicia Keys, and Justin Timberlake could still keep their grip on the mainstream. 2007 wasn't going to be an epic year for music, but it still brought plenty of songs that defined the decade. With their peak positions on the Billboard Hot 100 and the 2007 Billboard Year-End charts, here are the best songs of 2007:
