The naughties are represented by Black Eyed Peas and One Republic on 12 and 35. Not really a beacon of light either. :P

The ed Sheeran song is the one he keeps saying "I love your body".

Doesn't really help. I'll have to help him move towards #1 and youtube it.

I'm honestly surprised that I had never heard that song before, I just assumed it was the one where he was dancing in the video. Seems kinda boring. :mellow:

Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim – Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967)

The Bossa Nova craze still had legs in 1967; and Frank decided to get in on it with one of the leading Bossa Nova players, Jobim.  This is the one with Sinatra's famous recording of "Girl from Ipanema" on it.  It's a good album overall, Frank sounds more subdued than usual, something that works well here, as it did on "In the Wee Small Hours."  There are three standards done in a Bossa Nova style on this, "Baubles Bangles and Beads," "I Concentrate on You," and "Change Partners."  The rest are Bossa Nova compositions.  The band sounds pretty laid back throughout; maybe it's too easy listening, but at this point in Frank's career the days of the bobbysoxers had long past.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I'm surprised it's that big of a hit.  It's not really catchy or for a worthy cause like many of the other songs on the list.  It is a love song, of sorts, but the sentiment is not exactly "I will always love you."

Tony Allen - A Tribute to Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (2017)

Legendary Nigerian drummer and Afrobeat pioneer Allen covers four classic Messengers tunes in a mini-album format, 30 minutes.  Definitely worth a listen.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Been going through all their songs on Youtube. They're fucking amazing.

Jimmy that concept dates back to the original 30s swing bands that stole from Tin Pan Alley.
Some modern examples:

Thelonious Monk, Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1960)

Recordings Monk did for a movie soundtrack, lost decades ago but then master tapes discovered a couple years ago.  This is peak Monk, just before his Columbia records period, although the band is transitional.  Not as definitive as the also lost and found "Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane" and not the best intro to Monk, but worth the listen from hard core Monk fans.
