Collider has published a ranking of the ten greatest one-hit wonders of the 2000s, spotlighting artists whose single track became a lasting hit even as their wider careers failed to take off. The piece reflects on how the decade's shifting musical landscape—spanning pop, hip-hop, R&B, pop-punk, emo and Eurodance—produced a wave of memorable songs from acts who never repeated the success, arguing these tracks left a significant mark on pop culture despite their creators' fleeting fame.

The list opens with Willa Ford's 2001 track "I Wanna Be Bad", featuring rapper Royce da 5'9", which the article says was hampered by unfortunate timing: her planned follow-up single was due for release on 11 September 2001, and subsequent turmoil at her record label left her career stalled. The full ranking covers ten songs in total, with the article noting that some choices may prove contentious among readers, while celebrating the tracks' continued nostalgic pull and enduring presence on platforms like YouTube.
