GREATEST HITS
Many artists made the transition from the 1990s to the 2000s, but the start of a new decade — and century — also gave rise to other music stars who would make their mark for the first time. Some of them are featured in this new episode that spans songs from 2000 to 2005, with a number of the tunes’ original singers appearing to perform them, including Lee Ann Womack. Little Big Town, Fifth Harmony and co-host Kelsea Ballerini salute others. (ABC)
