Rolling Stone 100 Best Songs of the Decade

Rolling Stone's 100 Best Songs of the Decade was a feature in US music magazine Rolling Stone, charting the 100 best songs from the 2000s (2000–2009) according to a panel of 100 music writers, critics, artists and industry insiders. The list was compiled and published in June 2009. Two years later, on 17 June 2011, the list was published online in full for the first time, with new write-ups. The list itself, however, remained the same.

According to Rolling Stone, the list "reflects the eclectic spirit of the decade with tracks from garage rock revivalists, dance-happy indie acts, hip-hop superstars, modern R&B hit-makers, arena rockers, boundary-shattering pop hybrids and a few familiar icons from previous eras".[1]
