Music Madness: Round One: The '00s

by Madness Comissioner


For those who don't know, each year we do a special March Bracket Event on our site. This year's rules are simple. We've created four brackets ('70s, '80s, '90s and '00s) and picked sixteen one-hit wonders for each one. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday in March, you'll be able to vote via our Facebook page.

You can also play along at home with your very own bracket full of initials! We used initials because the song/artist combo didn't fit onto one page. You can find out what they all stand for on the master list right here. And you can check out other people's brackets in the comments of this thread. Play along by voting via our Facebook page every Wednesday and Friday. Follow your heart.

Today's matchups are between the one-hit wonders of the 2000s. Take a look at Scott, Kathleen and Ursula enjoying our cool bracket wall as a team.

Need a version you can actually see? Wanna hear 'em? Just scroll down and click the images as our '90s songs go head to head! And don't forget to go vote! after!

1 vs 16 Jimmy Eat World - The Middle vs Artists Stand Up To Cancer - Just Stand Up

 

8 vs 9 Blue Cantrell - Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!) vs Shaggy - It Wasn't Me

Good luck to all the '00s one-hit wonders and have fun voting! Oh, and before we go, here are the results of the voting on The '90s.

  • Biz Markie - Just A Friend beats How To Dance
  • Chumbawumba - Tubthumping beats Breakfast At Tiffany's
  • Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing beats Constant Craving
  • Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy beats Tom's Diner
  • The Proclaimers - 500 Miles beats I Wish
  • Wreckx-n-Effect - Rump Shaker beats I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
  • The Heights - How Do You Talk To An Angel? beats I Wanna Be Rich
  • Divinyls - I Touch Myself beats Here Comes The Hotstepper

A pretty solid round, except EVERYONE WHO PICKED CHUMBAWUMBA IS OBJECTIVELY WRONG AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED. Nevertheless, the results are correct and fair, so they gotta stand. Check back next week for a Music Monday all about what Scott considers to be the major upsets, and then get ready! Because the Round Two voting excitement begins again on WEDNESDAY! WOO WOO ROUND TWO!
