The Colorado Rockies and 2007: The times were changing in the music world.

When the Colorado Rockies made it to the World Series in 2007, it was the start of a different era of popular music. The top artists of the 1990s and early 2000s largely faded away or dissolved, as the late 1990s was known for its boy bands and groups, which had dissolved by 2007.

In 2006 and 2007, things started to change as many of the artists that have had number one hits in the last few years really got their start then.

Some of Billboard’s Hot 100 number ones from 2007 include (note: some of these debuted in 2006 but they peaked on the charts in 2007)

  • “Irreplaceable” by Beyoncé
  • “Say It Right” by Nelly Furtado
  • “What Goes Around … Comes Around” by Justin Timberlake, from his second solo album
  • “Umbrella” by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z,
  • “Hey There Delilah” by The Plain White T’s
  • “Beautiful Girls” by Sean Kingston
  • “No One” by Alicia Keys

Some other popular songs from 2007 include:

  • “Sweet Escape” by Gwen Stefani
  • “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Fergie
  • “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood
  • “How To Save a Life” by The Fray
  • “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayer
  • “Apologize” by One Republic
  • “Bubbly” by Colbie Caillat
  • “Teardrops on My Guitar” by Taylor Swift, on her debut album
  • “Paralyzer” by Finger Eleven
