13. Kim Lukas-All I Really Want

 

http://www.webdjs.ch/italoartists/kim_lukas6.jpg

 

Year: 2000

 

Chart Run: 2-2-1-1-2-5-R-4-R-1-5-R-4-2-5

 

Info: The second appearance from British singer but European star Kim Lukas, this anthemic song was a hit all over Europe after being remixed into shape by Eiffel 65 and the naff video which showed her putting a robot she loved back together only made it a more cheesy affair...

 

Reason I love it: One of the catchiest pop dance songs you will ever hear, I first heard it on the radio in Tenerife and I knew I had to have it...I got it in my first ever purchase from eBay over 5 years ago and the song spent 12 weeks in my top 5 alone!!!

12. Shakira-Underneath Your Clothes

 

http://i.timeinc.net/ew/img/daily/630/shakira_l.jpg

 

Year: 2002

 

Chart Run: 1-2-4-4-3-4-4-4-R-3-2-1-1-2-3-4

 

Info: The famous Shakira ballad which was up until this year the second of her two UK megahits, the song reached No.3 in the UK and stormed in at No.1 on its debut in my chart and clocked up 15 weeks on the top 5 in total!!!

 

Reason I love it: From the gentle acoustic introduction through to the amazing vocals of Shakira who showed her musical diversity when she went from Whenever, Wherever through to a much slower song, though with no less quirky lyrics. A gorgeous song in every way!!!

11. KT Tunstall-Other Side of the World

 

http://www.everyobject.net/data/30888f43088f01849143d0eab02146ae/full30888f43088f01849143d0eab02146ae.jpg

 

Year: 2005

 

Chart Run: 1-2-3-5-5-R-3-R-5-R-3-4

 

Info: The debut single from Scottish singer KT Tunstall, I heard this song back in January 2005 and I knew I had to have the album...of course it was around the low 60's in the chart at that time and seemingly never destined to go higher...the album sold 1.5 million and this is one her two signature songs!!!

 

Reason I love it: It weaves its way into your head slowly, with KT's Scottish tones creeping up on you until you love her. It has an amazing chorus, sublime verses and with a singer as good as this, it was always going to be high on this chart...brilliant!!!

Here goes the ten best songs of my life then:

 

10. Caroldene-Time Is A Healer

 

http://69.6.196.14/various/photos/ultrapop/ultrapop_caroldene_lg.jpg

 

Year: 2001

 

Chart Run: 1-1-4-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-5

 

Info: Starting with a little known gospel song that I got hold of in 2001 via the website Peoplesound...Never released officially, the singer, UK female artist Caroldene Black once made the radio one playlist guesting on a garage track which I forget the name of...She also reached my top 10 with Dream on (No.5) and Hold Me Tight (No.6)

 

Reason I love it: It caught me off guard as a cracking pop/gospel crossover that stood out from everything else I liked at the time...the lyrics are very true to life and Caroldene's singing is faultless throughout...A great gospel ballad and one of the ten best songs ever!!!

9. Flip & Fill feat Kelly Llorenna-True Love Never Dies

 

http://mclub.te.net.ua/images/art/artist_1899.jpg

 

Year: 2002

 

Chart Run: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-4-5-5

 

Info: In a period when UK dance diva Kelly Llorenna was hot property, everything she released became huge...this was originally released to little fanfare in early 2001 where it reached No.34 but a year later it stormed back in at No.7 in the UK with producers Flip & Fill...

 

Reason I love it: I love Rank 1's Airwave, which this song is based on and therfore a version with vocals I was bound to love...to add to that Kelly Llorenna is my favourite UK singer of all time, making this song incredible to me...so catchy and euphoric it spent its first 10 chart weeks at the very top!!!

8. The Corrs-Runaway

 

http://www.coralbolivia.com/images/corrs3.jpg

 

Year: 1999

 

Chart Run: N/A

 

Info: Released on 3 occasions too early to make my chart, the song missed the UK top 40 twice and then debuted at No.2 after Tin Tin Out remixed a dated sounding song into shape...released on the same week as Britney Soears' Baby one more time it never stood a chance to get to No.1 but has become a radio classic in its own right!!!

 

Reason I love it: I loved the original and the Tin Tin Out remix just gave it an added bit of oomph...a classic ballad that doesn't really need describing, this is The Corrs finest moment and Andrea's vocals flow perfectly with Caroline's Drums and Jim's Guitar while the highlight of the song is Sharon's violin key change towards the end...perfection!!!

7. Delta Goodrem-Innocent Eyes

 

http://graphics.sonymusic.com.au/gallery/medium/DeltaGoodrem054.jpg

 

Year: 2003

 

Chart Run: 2-1-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-3-3-4-4-5

 

Info: In a year where Delta ruled my chart, Innocent Eyes was her finest moment of the period...A dramatic piano ballad like a teen Tori Amos, Innocent Eyes, the title track of her debut album hinted at her musical future and was quite spectacular...it reached No.9 in the UK as her third top 10 hit from an album that sold over 800,000 copies!!!

 

Reason I love it: Its a more thoughtful song than many of her others with excellent lyrics though its the melody and the sublime piano playing that really stand out and make this song a classic...the da da da da da da part is simple genius and it led her to 17 weeks in my top 5 in summer 2003!!!

6. Alice Deejay-Back in my life

 

http://www.wircz3.homestead.com/files/alice_deejay-backstage.jpg

 

Year: 1999

 

Chart Run: 1-3-3-5-1-1-2-4-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-4-4-5

 

Info: The follow up to the mega hit Better off alone, Back in my life was a dance hit in a different style...a darker song with a very dark video where Judy is at a funeral the song itself was a top quality dance track and it followed Better off alone with another eccentric chart run which saw it return to the top 10 after dropping out having peaked at No.4 to feature in the last and first top 10's at the turn of the millennium!!!

 

Reason I love it: I remember staying up all night to hear the exclusive first play of this on the radio and I was not disappointed. More vocals than Better off alone it emphasised Judy's vocals to a greater extent. Another catchy and melodic classic from the Dutch group it spent in total an amazing 11 weeks at No.1 in my chart!!!

5. Shakira feat Wyclef Jean-Hips don't lie

 

http://www.tvpredictions.com/shakira.jpg

 

Year: 2006

 

Chart Run: 5-R-4-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

 

Info: Surely destined to finish 2006 as my best song of the year its still my No.1 now...Don't Bother was classed as Shakira's long awaited comeback but compared to this Latin carnival classic it looks like a damp squib...A truly unique song which can appeal to almost anyone it relaunched both Shakira and Wyclef's careers and has so far spent 4 months in the UK top 10 with 5 weeks in total at No.1!!!

 

Reason I love it: I first heard this monster back in february this year and I fell in love with it straight away and something told me it would be huge...I've always loved Shakira and her brilliantly unique voice and style and this song has it all...a great melody, a decent rap (for once), a fusion of Spanish and English singing...I never get bored of the track...Sublime!!!

4. DJ Sammy & Yanou feat Do-Heaven

 

http://www.jimvallance.com/01-music-folder/images-for-music-pages/images-music-pages/img-do-3.jpg

 

Year: 2002

 

Chart Run: 4-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-4

 

Info: All credit to Dutch female singer Do (Dominique van Hulst)...this is so often just credited as DJ Sammy and for a while everybody thought that she was DJ Sammy...Let's not forget German producer Yanou as well who is also the man behind Cascada...Anyway, this tranced up cover of Bryan Adams minor hit Heaven stormed in at No.1 beating Madonna and Craig David to the summit and becoming a modern classic...

 

Reason I love it: Do is a brilliant singer and her soft voice is amazing on this song, it is showed off even more on the now famous series of 'Yanou's candlelight mix' which is a regular on late night love shows on the radio...I picked up on this song in summer 2002 and knew it would be huge...one of the best produced 80's covers ever, it spent a record 12 weeks as my chart leader!!!

3. Delta Goodrem-Extraordinary Day

 

http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/images/delta-goodrem-sony-mistaken-identity.jpg

 

Year: 2004

 

Chart Run: 2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-3-5-R-5

 

Info: Quite spectacular to see an album track in the 3 best songs ever, whats more incredible is that most Delta fans don't see the fuss about this song...however to me its brilliant!!! Probably her most truthful song it talks about July 8th 2003 when Delta discovered that she had cancer...by far her most personal song its my best Delta track by a mile...

 

Reason I love it: 9 weeks at No.1 suggest how much I think of this song...its an incredible song with a haunting melody to accompany the serious subject...the verses and chorus are perfect and the climax and outro are spectacular...a deserved placing in my top 3 best songs ever!!!

  • Author

love the top 10 so far, never heard that gospel one though

 

Cheers!!! I don't think anyone else I've ever met has heard it :lol:

2. DJ Jurgen presents Alice Deejay-Better Off Alone

 

http://www.wictoria.se/foto/alicedeejay.jpg

 

Year: 1999

 

Chart Run: 1-1-1-1-1-5-R-5

 

Info: Back to Alice Deejay for the 2nd best song of all time and their debut hit Better Off Alone a collaboration with DJ Jurgen. The song peaked at No.2 in the UK for 3 weeks and sold over 600,000 copies...in total the band sold well over 1 million singles in their short career in the UK...A classic dance song, it emphasised more on a bleeping yet tuneful melody with Judy adding a few vocals...it has been bootlegged to hell in the last 5 years with everything from Rozalla to Dr Dre...

 

Reason I love it: The reason is that I fell in love with it from day one...I first heard it in the car in summer 1999 travelling to Great Yarmouth...next thing I heard it was No.4 with very little promotion...it eventually became massive and deservedly so...a fantastic drum beat introduction leads to an electronic track with vocals not kicking in for a while...one of the more memorable dance songs its almost the best song ever made...

1. N-Trance-Set You Free

 

http://falco2000.altervista.org/felicefoto/n-trance-group.jpg

 

Year: 1995/2001

 

Chart Run: 2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-3-3-2-2-1-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-4-5

 

Info/Reason I love it: A dance song leads the pack and is by a country mile my best song of all time. A homegrown talent from Rochdale, producers Dale Longworth and Kevin O Toole formed happy hardcore/rave band N-Trance in the early 90's...teaming up with UK diva Kelly Llorenna for this classic, it was released a couple of times before finally becoming a hit reaching No.2 in the UK and selling over 600,000 copies. The 90's version is a true classic and quite legendary with the piano melody and bridging riffs being copied by many, in particualr E'Voke, whose Runaway was practically identical...however a true classic's story is never over...in 2001 DJ Rob Searle got hold of the track and literally made the best song ever even better...by far the best remix I've ever heard, Rob Searle tranced the track up and the re-released single stormed in at No.4 in late 2001...one of the few tracks in a club to make the top 5 twice. In my chart the song had an amazing chart run, spending 26 weeks in the top 5 including 8 weeks at No.1, 7 weeks at No.2 and 8 weeks at No.3...The two versions on heavy rotation kept this song alive for me and it still sounds fresh to me today...nothing can beat this in my eyes :wub:
