Destiny's Child would go on to top the UK singles chart for the first time with ‘Independent Women Part I’ from the Charlie's Angels soundtrack. The turn of the millennium was a time of reinvention for many cities across the UK and not even project turned out as planned (London’s Millennium Bridge was initially closed after complaints of it being too “wobbly”), but many of today’s iconic sights of modern Britain date back to this thoroughly productive period.Ģ000, though, saw a line-up change, with LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson exiting the group and Michelle Williams joining Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland to complete the trio. The Millennium Dome was one of a few special projects announced to celebrate the dawning of a new era, including the Millennium Bridge, the Earth Centre in Doncaster, the National Centre for Popular Music in Sheffield, the Tate Modern, and the London Eye.
Prince’s 21-night residency at the O2 in 2007 remains among the most memorable, with the Purple One selling tickets for £31.21 (a reference to his 3121 album title) and inviting the likes of Elton John and Amy Winehouse to join him onstage during the run. However, despite being the most popular tourist attraction of the year and providing a decent day out featuring acrobatics and art installations, reviews were mixed and the exhibition only lasted 12 months, with the New Millennium Experience Company entering liquidation in 2002.ĭespite the Dome being a bit of a flop, it was turned into The O2 in 2007, with its O2 Arena venue going on to host concerts by everyone from The Rolling Stones to Beyoncé. The freshly-built upturned salad bowl in Greenwich, south east London was supposed to be a beacon of hope and intent of British culture in the 2000s. Much was expected of the Millennium Dome. Correct at the time of publishing, we've not seen a video reach nine quintillion views just yet. The massive hit (and its much-parodied video) has since led to the video site to up its the maximum view count to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, or just over nine quintillion. A slightly less catastrophic instance came in 2014 when PSY's Gangnam Style exceeded YouTube's view limit, breaking the site's view counter in doing so. However, that's not to say we've not been dogged by such problems ever since. The other is that it really was a potential problem, avoided only thanks to the hard work of technicians finding a way around it. There's two ways to look at millennium bug: one is that it was largely a fuss about nothing, fear mongering from people who should really have known better. Songs like Y2K - The Bug is Coming by the band Y2K (a supergroup featuring Ian Dury, Jim-Bob from Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine and Fuzz Townshend) did little to diffuse the situation.īut in the end, nothing happened and the world continued as it was before. Here, the greatest '00s movies ever.By now, the Internet is known for its ability to spread hoaxes and prompt unfounded fear, but Y2K was one of the earliest examples of this. The '00s were a kiss goodbye to the old Hollywood tropes as Tinseltown welcomed in all new kinds of stories. Or maybe it's because it was the decade in which many of us felt like we were coming of age.
#2000S NOSTALGIA MOVIE#
Maybe it's because it was one of the last decades before streaming made it big (RIP Blockbuster), so we were able to watch all of our favorites in a not-so-comfortable seat at the movie theater with a large bucket of buttery popcorn. From Elle Woods reminding all of us that we can do anything we feel like to The Notebook making us all believe in love , the '00s just hit differently. We've scoured the archives to round up the best '00s movies that'll remind you just how great of a decade it was. The 2000s were marked by iconic trends: Juicy Couture tracksuits, thin eyebrows, low-rise jeans, MTV's Cribs-and the films of that time were equally iconic.
