Coldplay, Radiohead and Beyonce all feature in it more than once while the Number One spot was nabbed by a veritable one-hit wonder.
Here's the Top Ten...
10, 'Stan': Eminem
RS said: This creepy hit encapsulated the dramatic flair that made Eminem so impossible to ignore in 2000.
9, 'Beautiful Day': U2
RS said: The song that re-established U2 as the world's biggest band looked backward, reviving the skyscraping sound of their Eighties classics.
8, 'Rehab': Amy Winehouse
RS said: Sonically letter-perfect retro soul with producer Mark Ronson's 21st-century beat-muscle and cheekiness.
7, 'Maps': Yeah Yeah Yeahs
RS said: i>Karen O testifies to the power of love as if she's miraculously channeling Siouxsie and Sam Cooke at the same time.
6, 'Seven Nation Army': The White Stripes
RS said: The greatest riff of the decade.
5, 'Paper Planes': M.I.A.
RS said: One of the unlikeliest Top 10 jams ever.
4, 'Hey Ya': Outkast
RS said: Sounds as weird and fantastic as it did the first time.
3, 'Crazy In Love': Beyonce
RS said: The horns weren't a hook. They were a herald: Pop's new queen had arrived.
2, '99 Problems': Jay-Z
RS said: [Jay's] incredible decade-long run reached its hard-rock crescendo in this Black Album smash, flipping an old Ice-T hook with go-go percussion and metal guitars.
1,'Crazy': Gnarls Barkley
RS said: Gnarls Barkley packed a career's worth of genius ideas into three minutes — and then they basically disappeared. Does that make them crazy?
And there we have. Whaddya reckon MTV-ers, would this lot make your Top 10 songs of the past ten years?
