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).
From a total of 522 charting singles for the year, 416 of them brand new entries, here are the most successful…
