  1. The year 2000 • New Year’s Celebrations worldwide • Y2K - The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, or simply Y2K) was a problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital situations which resulted from the practice of abbreviating a four-digit year to two digits.

  2. September 11, 2001 • 19 hijackers took over 4 commercial airline flights with the intent of crashing them into buildings. Three of them made it to their intended targets: The World Trade Center Towers, and the Pentagon. • The fourth plane crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania. The passengers of that flight fought with the hijackers to take over the plane and it rammed into the ground.

  3. …September 11 • Some facts about that day: • The terrorists picked flights going across the US because they were filled with jet fuel. They learned to fly airplanes at a flight school in Florida. • Why the trade centers? • Height, location, but also because they were a symbol of the capitalist society of the US

  4. Al Queda attacks after 2001 There is a much longer list, but notable ones are: • London, UK - 7/7/2005: suicide bombers on buses during morning rush hour. 52 dead. 700 wounded • Madrid, Spain - 3/11/2004: bombs on commuter trains. 191 dead, 1,750 people wounded.

  6. How did September 11 affect pop music? Some interesting websites to look at: http://kalvos.org/tragedy.html http://musiced.about.com/od/lessonsandtips/a/september112001.htm Notes:

  7. Music of the millennium • Heavy Metal/Rap Metal • System of a Down, Evanescense, Slipknot • Post Grunge: • Nickleback and Puddle of Mudd Also pop-punk bands in the1990s, such as Green Day, Weezer, Blink-182 and The Offspring, also continued their success during the 2000s.

  8. Pop Music • Boy bands from the 1990’s: Some members of these bands go on to have successful solo careers, such as Jesse McCartney and Justin Timberlake. A new strain of boy bands take place shortly around 2008, but never really became as glamorized as they were at the beginning of the decade, with an exception for the Jonas Brothers.

  9. Female Pop • Girl groups as well continue to become popular from the 1990s, with groups such as Destiny's Child, Pussycat Dollsand many others, but they were not as successful as the boy bands. Disney executives even try to mold girl groups as well, such as The Cheetah Girls.

  10. Teen Pop • After 9/11, a new "teen pop-rock " movement began. While girl pop-rock singers such as Alanis Morissette and Jewel were popular in the 1990s, they had declined in popularity after 1998 when the pop princesses such as Britney Spears debuted.

  11. Avril Lavigne was arguably the first and lead artist to take this new direction in pop music, with hits such as "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "I'm With You" at the beginning of the decade and "Girlfriend" at the end Lavigne leads this genre throughout all the decade worldwide, her contemporaries such stars as, Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton not far behind with their own success

  12. Other prominent girl pop-rock artists of the 2000s included Pink, Hilary Duff, and Ashlee Simpson. Later artists reflecting the genre include Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift.

  13. Jennifer Lopez • In 2001 triple-threat entertainer Jennifer Lopez debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with her J.Lo album and in addition her film The Wedding Planner opened at number one at the box office at the same time making her the first actress and singer in history to have a film and an album, at number one in the same week.

  14. Other artists • Artists such as Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue and Madonna experienced revived success. Justin Timberlake shot to stardom with his Justified album. In 2005, Cher ended her 3-year long "Farewell Tour" which became the highest grossing female and solo tour at that time.

  15. American Idol • American Idol winners become a big part of the American pop sound, but only one winner became a staple. Kelly Clarkson experienced huge success and tons of hit radio singles with her pop-rock sound including worldwide hits "Breakaway", "Since U Been Gone", "Behind These Hazel Eyes", and "Because of You" at the middle of the decade. • Other artists: Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparx, Jennifer Hudson.

  16. The Disney Channel • Children's music rises significantly in sales, especially with Disney (The Cheetah Girls, High School Musical, Hannah Montana: The Movie, and The Jonas Brothers among others). All The Cheetah Girls, High School Musical and Hannah Montana albums were among the best-sellers of 2006 and 2007 and reached the number 1 position, left many artists produced by Disney in the 2000s, The Cheetah Girls, Hilary Duff, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Raven-Symoné, the artists of the best-selling Disney's decade of 2000s.

  17. Internet people • Internet personalities (people whom were primarily famous as a result of the Internet) such as Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy Tell Em enjoyed success in the pop charts. During the 2000s many different internet personalities were discovered by fans on the internet, and as a result were signed and gained much success in the charts.

  18. The musical style of the 1980s influenced pop music to some extent in the later stages of the decade, as seen in Rihanna's hit "S.O.S." (a sampling of "Tainted Love"), Flo Rida's "Right Round", a reworking of the Dead or Alive hit "You Spin Me Right Round". Other hits include Aaron Carter's cover of Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy", and Britney Spears' covers of "My Prerogative" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". • Beyoncé's hit "Sweet Dreams" was not a direct sampling of an 80's pop hit but Anne Hagerty of Billboard magazine was quoted saying; "this track will fit rite on a Michael Jackson or Madonna instrumental. • Alien Ant Farm covered Jackson's "Smooth Criminal”
