Justin Timberlake greatest of all time….gimme a break!! ahahha

Someone is bitter…

After that ridiculous ‘100 Greatest Artists of All Time’ list that VH1 tried last year, they’re continuing with the same foolishness. ‘Crazy in Love’ is a good song but there are MANY other songs that should be ranked higher than it. And I like Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since U Been Gone’ and JT’s ‘Sexyback’ – they’re cute songs but how the hell are they ranked higher than ‘We Belong Together’ and U2’s ‘Beautiful Day’?!?! They shouldn’t even be in the top 10.
The above are just a few issues with the list.

BLEACHonce = FLOP

The Lying Hoe probably sent RATThew to PAY for This honor like she did those grammys.THE GREAT LACEFRONCE considers this a FLOP list for a FLOP channel.

BLEACHonce (and Tranny Caca) = FLOPS

THE GREAT LACEFRONCE has spoken.

Trent, you seem mad. This list is obviously more based on IMPACT ON POP CULTURE. Hence Irreplaceable and Baby Boy not making the list. Baby Boy may have been commercially successful but it did not have the impact that Crazy in Love had. Stay mad you trinidadian slut.

#FACT Crazy in Love is the most critically acclaimed pop song of the last decade.

@thekiddz VERY BITTER LOL!!!!

@ABC LMAO!!! Love the GIF! Perfect

But Mariah should’ve been #2!

@Jamie you copied that entire paragraph from Wikipedia but missed Trent’s ENTIRE point. Baby Boy was a bigger hit than CIL!

AND Mariah’s WBT is a MUCH bigger hit than both! Watch me copy/past too:

Critical response
Unlike most of Carey’s recent singles at that time, “We Belong Together” received generally positive reviews from critics, most of whom hailed the song as her “return to form”, following reviews for Charmbracelet (2002), that suggested Carey had lost her signature vocal range and power.[21] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote “the…diva [keeps] cool with breathy, rapid-fire verses until the final full strong-voiced climax that… proves that ‘The Voice’ has indeed returned.”[22] Additionally, he claimed that “The song is as ‘innovative’ as Mariah has been in years.”[22] Other critics commended Carey on her novel singing style which, according to Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times, gave the song its propulsion, writing “This style is part of the reason why she has been able to turn a ballad into a summer smash. ‘We Belong Together’ doesn’t have a guest rapper, or a hard-hitting beat, but Ms. Carey’s tricky vocal lines give the song more propulsion than you’d expect, with tightly coiled counter-rhythms that tug against the beat.”[13] Johnny Loftus from Metro Times called it a “summer hit” and wrote “We all know it’s the intangibles that make a summer single anyway, those untraceable currents that grab the heart and feet, and despite not being an anthem, ‘We Belong Together’ is that rousing.”[17]
Writing for Vibe, Michael Ehrlich claimed the song would “cut across generations”, while Cinquemani felt it would revive “faith in Mariah the balladeer”.[14][23] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic chose “We Belong Together” as a “top Pick” from the album, while Todd Burns from Stylus Magazine described it as “beautifully cadenced”.[24][25] Echoing Cinquemani’s comments about the song and Carey’s past as a balladeer, Jozen Cummings from PopMatters wrote “Carey makes the song her own, reminding fans of her ‘Hero’ days with full, throaty vocals and a crashing climax at the end. The dichotomy between ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’s’ first two tracks is the album’s bread and butter.”[26] Since first hearing the song on the radio, Sherri Winston from South Florida Sun-Sentinel claimed she “knew it would be a smash”, complimenting its understated beat and Carey’s vocals.[27] Billboard’s Michael Paoletta described “We Belong Together” as one of the album’s strongest cuts, claiming that it highlighted the strongest focal point on the song: Carey’s voice.[28] Slant Magazine ranked it 2nd on their best songs of 2005 list.[22]
[edit]Commercial reception

Carey performing “We Belong Together” on Good Morning America
Between 2001 and 2003, Carey’s popularity had substantially declined and many had considered her career over.[29] However, after being released to North American radio on March 29, 2005, “We Belong Together” became the most popular song for Carey’s post-2000 career.[30] The song spent fourteen non-consecutive weeks at number one on both the US Billboard Hot 100—after making its debut at number 81—and on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[31] It had major cross-over success, becoming the first song to simultaneously occupy the number one position on nine Billboard charts on the week ending August 6, 2005: the Hot 100, Billboard Hot 100 Airplay, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Pop 100 Airplay, Top 40 Mainstream, Rhythmic Airplay Chart, Hot Dance Club Songs, and the Hot Ringtones charts.[32] Spending fourteen weeks atop the Hot 100, “We Belong Together” became the second longest running number one song in US chart history, behind only Carey’s 1996 collaboration with Boyz II Men, “One Sweet Day”, which spent sixteen weeks at number one. Aside from its chart success, the song broke several airplay records, and according to Mediabase and Nielsen BDS, gathered both the largest one-day and one-week audiences in BDS history, reaching 32.8 million and 223 million impressions respectively.[33][34] To date, “We Belong Together” has been listened to more than 8 billion times in the United States alone.[35] During the week of September 25, 2005, Carey set another record, becoming the first female to occupy the first two spots atop the Hot 100, as “We Belong Together” remained at number one, and her next single, “Shake It Off” held the number two spot.[31] Additionally, the song held the top position on the official Hot 100 Airplay chart for sixteen weeks, tying for the second all time spot with No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak” (1996).[31] “We Belong Together” was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over one million copies throughout the United States.[36] On the Billboard Hot 100 Year-end Chart of 2005, the song was declared the number one song, a career first for Carey.[37] Billboard listed “We Belong Together” ninth on The Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs[38] and second on Top Billboard Hot 100 R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[39] The song was also declared the most popular song of the 2000s decade by Billboard.[40]
Besides its success in the United States, “We Belong Together” achieved strong charting throughout Europe and Australasia. On the ARIA Charts, the song debuted atop the singles chart in Australia during the week dated July 3, 2005.[41] The following week, it held the number one spot for a second week, and stayed on the chart for a total of eleven weeks.[41] To date, “We Belong Together” was certified Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), denoting shipments of over 70,000 units.[42] The song finished at number seventeen on the 2005 Australian Year-End Chart.[43] In both Flemmish and Wallonian territories in Belgium, “We Belong Together” peaked at numbers twelve and twenty-four, spending a total of fifteen and fourteen weeks fluctuating in the singles chart, respectively.[44] The song finished at number forty-seven on the Flemmish Year-End Chart of 2005.[45] “We Belong Together” made its debut at number fifteen on the Danish Tracklisten chart during the week of August 7, 2005, eventually peaking at number three.[46] In France, the song peaked at number twelve, and spent nineteen weeks fluctuating within the French singles chart.[47] On the Dutch Top 40 chart, “We Belong Together” reached number one in its fourth week, and spent a total of sixteen weeks in the chart, four of which were at the number two position.[48] The song finished at number forty-one on the Dutch Year-End Chart of 2005.[49] In New Zealand, the song spend three weeks at number two on the singles chart, and a total of twelve before making its exit on October 3, 2005.[50] At the end of 2005, “We Belong Together” finished at number thirty-six, and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), denoting shipments of over 15,000 units.[51][52] In both Norway and Spain, the song peaked at number nine and three, and spent nine and seven weeks within the charts.[53][54] In Switzerland, the song peaked at number four on the official singles chart, and charted for thirteen weeks.[55] During mid-week predictions in the United Kingdom, “We Belong Together” was positioned to become Carey’s third UK number one single.[56][57] However, it wound up debuting at number two on the UK Singles Chart, selling 39,436 copies, only 392 copies behind Tupac Shakur’s “Ghetto Gospel”.[58] In its second week, the song dropped to number three, before re-surfacing to number two in its third week, this time blocked by James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”.[58] The song spent a total of eighteen weeks within the singles chart, and has estimated sales of over 240,000 units in the United Kingdom.[59]

YOU WILL DEAL!!!

Beyonce’s Crazy in Love obviously had a larger cultural impact than any of her other songs, excluding Single Ladies. Baby Boy & Irreplaceable were at #1 longer, but clearly this list isn’t about which song remained at #1 longest (or we wouldn’t be having this debate).

Independent Women (Part 1) was at #1 longer than Bootylicious, but Bootylicious made the list because of its overall cultural impact and popularity. More than just chart position, but critical reception, music video concept, performances, etc.

But you MC stans only go by chart stats, so I guess you’ll continue to stay MAD while Bey continues to garner recognition and stack her Grammys.

Of course this list isn’t valid! They put a lady gaga song in the top 3 just because she’s the biggest star in the last 3 years.. the fuck outta here

You are so biased it’s not even funny.

In other news I want bey to go back to this hair color. *Kanye shrug*.

Why does it seem that Beyonce just can’t get any props on this site without you trying constantly detracting from whatever achievement or compliment she receives. Your bias is extremely disgusting, I’m sure you would not have said anything if your favourite diva MC was #1 SMH.

VH1 has no credibility, yet you all are upset?
