Top Song Picks of 2002 & 2007

Welcome to Spinnin’ Rabbit‘s “Top Picks of Each Year,” where I’ll be taking you back in time and sharing with you what were my favorite songs from the past. Here’s the list per year so far: 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020, and last year.

John Mayer‘s debut single, ‘No Such Thing,’ was my song pick two decades ago. I still remember this was one of the songs played on Cebu CHR/Top40 radio station UR105 Ultimate Radio before the frequency was reformatted to adult contemporary in the summer of 2002. Recently, I just found out the actual meaning of the song. It is about creating your career path.

Five years later, American singer, Akon released his third single, ‘Don’t Matter‘ from his second studio album, “Konvicted.” The reggae fusion-R&B song was my favorite back in 2007. We can hear the lively Calypso Remix in the final scene of the music video.

Looking for more throwback song picks from previous years? I got you. Listen to the Picks of the Decade 2000s Spotify playlist here:

Top Songs of 2006 (+ 2001 & 2016)

I got tired of listing down my top songs each month back in 2006.

I remember not getting sick of Ne-Yo‘s first number-one single from his debut album “In My Own Words“ and became my top pick of that year.

So Sick – Ne-Yo

– I hope that I can turn back the time as there are months that were left blank for reasons I don’t remember what those songs were now. –

10 years later, the lead single from DJ Snake‘s debut album was an all-alright song pick for me. It features vocals of British singer Bipolar Sunshine.

Middle – DJ Snake ft. Bipolar Sunshine

In 2001, American singer-songwriter Brandy and her brother Ray J covered a Phil Collins original for Collin’s tribute album “Urban Renewal.”

This was my pick back in 2001. I was really young. I remembered its music video being aired almost every day on MYX. (The early 2000-era myx when it wasn’t merged yet with another music cable channel VID-OK.)

Another Day In Paradise – Brandy & Ray J

Here are other top songs of the year so you won’t get sick of love songs: 2000, 2005, 2010, 2011, 2015, 2019, 2020.
