The year 2000 was not only the start of a brand new decade in music, but a brand new millennium! Well, kind of…

Technically, the new millennium did start until the 1st January 2001, as there was no “0 A.D”, but changing from the 1900s to the 2000s is a once in 1000 years occurrence, so we’ll take any sort of celebration we can.

The Top 100 Biggest Singles from 2000 counts down the most successful hits from the Australian Charts first entering in the year 2000. All ongoing success from 2001 to today has also been included, as well as any remixed or live versions that charted (as long as the main artist credited is the same).

A diacope is a figure of speech in which a word (or phrase) is repeated, separated by a number of intervening words. The term is derived from the Greek word thiakhop meaning “cut in two”.

While there are no limits on the amount of words that can come into between the identical words or phrases, for this countdown we are collecting the biggest singles from the Australian charts with a title that has two of the same word, separated by just one different word.

Song titles consisting of a sub-title in brackets are eligible, as long as the main title fits the criteria.
