We gave 100 people 2 minutes to come up with as many
Billboard No. 1 Hits of the 2000s
as possible. This means any US-charting song that made it to the number 1 spot during a week within any year from the start of 2000 to the end of 2009.
Give us 3 answers, and if at least one of them is pointless, you'll win the current jackpot of $1,000. Good luck.

It reached #1 on the country charts, but only #20 on the main billboard hot 100.
Unfortunately you couldn't find that pointless answer, but you're taking home a pointless trophy, and you played fabulously. We'll also add another $1,000 to the jackpot.
