Let's start the countdown:

 

44. Ronan Keating - She Believes (In Me) (2.30)

((8), fgi090505), ((-1), Aled, Luciano)

 

43. Alistair Griffin - Bring It On (3.56)

((10), mykindoflove), ((0), Aled, darkstar79, xketalinax, Jester)

 

42. Michelle - All This Time (3.59)

((11), fgi090505), ((-1), Rob, Tylky, Acidburn)

 

41. Jamie Cullum - Frontin (Live) (3.87)

((8), Jade), ((-1), jay

 

Once again poor Ronan starts off the countdown in last place. 'She Believes (In Me) was released in time for valentines day in 2004 and peaked at Number 2.

 

Alistair Griffin was the runner up on the BBC's Fame Academy, and had a Top 5 hit with 'Bring It On'. He still makes music and gets good support from Radio 2.

 

Pop Idol Winner Michelle McManus missed out on Christmas Number 1 in 2003 to Michael Andrews and Gary Jules' 'Mad World', but did get there the week after with 'All This Time'. She did release an album prior to winning Pop Idol, but she never really made a singing career for herself. Last I heard she was presenting a Scottish TV programme.

 

Next up we have a rather random addition to Now 57. Jamie Cullum recorded his cover of Pharell's 'Frontin' for Radio 1's live lounge, and it got put out as a B Side to the single 'These Are The Days'.

40. VS - Love You Like Mad (3.90)

((10), jonjo), ((0), Tylky, Jester, Rob)

 

39. Beenie Man feat. Ms Thing - Dude (4.0)

((8), Riser), ((-1), fgi090505)

 

38. Justin Timberlake - I'm Lovin' It (4.09)

((8), gavindeejay), ((0), xketalinax, ultraviolence, mr aly)

 

37. DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide (4.17)

(10), Chez Wombat, Ultraviolence, Dobbo), ((-1), IZ, Anthonie TT)

 

36. FYA feat. Smujj - Must Be Love (4.25)

((9), Dobbo), ((0), Jester)

 

VS were a UK R&B hip hop group managed by Simon Webbe of Blue and made it into the UK Top 10 at the start of 2004 with 'Love You Like Mad'.

 

Jamacan dancehall DJ Beenie Man had a Top 10 hit with 'Dude' and Justin Timberlake never had a hit with 'I'm Lovin' It', but everyone knows it as it was used heavily in the McDonalds advert.

 

DJ Casper is a personal trainer, and in 1996 he created the 'Cha Cha Slide', which is a song that must be played at all parties by law so it seems.

 

FYA's Top 15 hit 'Must Be Love just misses out on the Top 35.

4 very uninspiring songs, no big surprises in these finishing bottom.

 

Also Cha Cha Slide is amazing.

31. Blue - Breathe Easy (5.18)

((10), Nick F1), ((0), xketalinax, ultraviolence, Anthonie TT, Tylky, darkstar79)

 

Late 2003 into early 2004 was a time dancehall was doing well in the charts. 2 Play and Raghav had several hits, fist being 'So Confused', which peaked at Number 6 in the charts.

 

Kelly and Ozzy had a big Number 1 hit at the end of 2003 with 'Changes'. It was originally sung by Ozzy's band Black Sabbath in the 70's.

 

I'm shocked to see Atomic Kitten this low. 'Ladies Night' saw the kittens get another Top 10, which was the breakthrough hit for Kool and The Gang in the 70's.

 

Busted were releasing singles like no tomorrow in 2004. 'Who's David' is probably one of their most forgotten tracks though, despite going to Number 1.

 

Blue followed up their Number 1 with Elton John and their Top 15 hit with Stevie Wonder with a nice ballad 'breathe Easy'.

30. Peter Andre - Mysterious Girl (5.25)

((10), Tylky, Dobbo, Acidburn), ((-1), darkstar79)

 

29. Alex Parks - Maybe That's What It Takes (5.30)

((10), Luciano, darkstar79), ((0), fgi090505)

 

27. Ferry Corsten - Rock Your Body Rock (5.65)

((10), Dobbo, Tylky), ((0), darkstar79)

 

26. Norah Jones - Sunrise (5.68)

((10), Luciano, darkstar79), ((2), fgi090505)

 

Number 1 in 2004 when it was re-released thanks to Peter winning I'm A Celebrity....'. 'Mysterious Girl' was a Number 2 hit from 1996 and features on Now 34.

 

The winner of 2003's Fame Academy winner Alex Parks is next up with 'Maybe That's What It Takes'.

 

Joss Stone made her debut in 2004 with 'Fell In Love With A Boy'.

 

Legendary Ducth DJ/Producer Ferry Corsten made Number 11 with his single 'Rock Your Body Rock'.

 

Taken from Norah's second album 'Feels Like Home', Sunrise was a Top 40 hit for Norah Jones in early 2004.

25. N.E.R.D - She Wants To Move (5.73)

((11), darkstar79), ((0), Anthonie TT,)

 

24. Ultrabeat - Feelin' Fine (5.75)

((10), Jester, mykindoflove, Dobbo), ((0), مدهش*)

 

23. Katie Melua - The Closest Thing To Crazy (5.81)

((10), Simon, darkstar79), ((-1), Dobbo)

 

22. Emma - I'll Be There (5.97)

((9), mykindoflove, Jay), ((0), xketalinax)

 

21. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - I Won't Change You (6.25)

((11), mr aly), ((1), xketalinax)

 

Starting off in the Top 25 it's N.E.R.D, which consists of Pharell Williams and Chad Hugo. 'She Wants To Move' was a Top 5 hit for them in March 2004.

 

After the Top 3 smash 'Pretty Green Eyes', Ultrabeat released 'Feelin' Fine' on Christmas week. Thanks to this it only peaked at Number 12.

 

Katie Melua's debut single 'The Closest Thing To Crazy' and went Top 10 in the UK.

 

Emma Bunton returned in 2003 with a more 60's influenced sound. I'll be There was another Top 10 hit for the former Spice Girl in February 2004.

 

Sophie Ellis-Bextor just misses out on the Top 20 with 'I Won't Change You' becoming her sixth Top 20 hit in the UK.

The bottom end, no shocks all pretty awful especially hate that Cha Cha Slide and Michelle McManus songs, even that Justin Timberlake song is terrible.

 

But Peter Andre should be higher, his only good song and Sophie Ellis Bextor's way too high.

 

Katie Melua, Norah Jones and Joss Stone, underrated and too low

20. Special D - Come With Me (6.27)

((11), Dobbo), ((0), darkstar79)

 

19. Enrique Iglesias feat. Kelis - Not In Love (6.66)

((10), Acidburn, cremey, Simon), ((2), darkstar79, AnthonieTT)

 

18. LMC vs U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above (6.67)

((11), Tylky), ((1), Acidburn, mr aly, darkstar79)

 

17. Kylie Minogue - Red Blooded Woman (6.72)

((10), Liam, Jade, Acidburn, Simon), ((0), Iz)

 

16. Deepest Blue - Give It Away (6.83)

((11), gavindeejay), ((1), Rob)

 

German DJ/Remixer Special D went Top 10 with 'Come With Me' in early 2004 and kicks off our Top 20 here.

 

Enrique teamed up with Kelis in March 2004 for the Top 5 hit 'Not In Love'. We still have another Kelis song to come, but where?

 

Mashing up U2's 'With Or Without You' and Whitney's 'How Will I Know' was a recipe for 2 weeks at Number 1 back in January 2004 for LMC.

 

Released as the follow up to the 2003 Number 1 single 'Slow'. Red Blooded Woman was Kylie's 36th Top 40 hit single in February 2004.

 

Sadly just missing out on the Top 15 it's Deepest Blue with a track that went to Number 9 in February 2004, and was the follow up to their debut single 'Deepest Blue'.

Come With Me top 20! :D One of the best dance anthems of the noughties.

'Changes' is one of the WORST songs I've ever heard, certainly the worst no.1 - I don't think I've heard anything so DULL. Glad to see it rather low.

 

'Toxic' to win! :wub:

15. Blink 182 - I Miss You (6.85)

((10), gavindeejay, Chez Wombat, Acidburn, jonjo, Tylky, Rob, Riser), ((0), Anthonie TT, darkstar79)

 

14. Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (7.10)

((11), gooddelta, AnthonieTT), ((1), darkstar79)

 

13. Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love (7.16)

((10), Dobbo, Rob), ((0), darkstar79)

 

12. Fountains Of Wayne - Stacey's Mom (7.17)

((11), Rob), ((1), مدهش*)

 

11. Scissor Sisters - Comftorbly Numb (7.25)

((11), IZ), ((0), jsliv)

 

I'm happy to see Blink 182 in the Top 15 on this countdown with one of my favourite songs by them. 'I Miss You' see's them in a more mellow mood than usual.

 

It was one of the biggest dance tracks of 2003, but when it came out in the UK in early 2004, it sadly missed the Top 10 by one place. Glad to see it's been remembered well and it's got a good place on this countdown.

 

Boogie Pimps are next up with 'Somebody To Love'. You may remember the video with the children parachuting out of the sky, and like any dance video at this time they had a fit girl in a bikini.

 

Rock anthem 'Stacey's Mom' by the Fountains Of Wayne is next up at Number 12. This song still gets played heavily in clubs today and is abit of a party anthem.

 

The debut single from the Scissor Sisters just misses out on the To 10. Comftorbly Numb was originally a Pink Floyd song.

'Somebody to Love' is quite a choon, although the video is rather questionable!

10. Jamelia - Thank You (7.46)

((10), Aled, AnthonieTT, fgi090505, Simon, darkstar79), ((2), gooddelta)

 

Following on from the Top 3 hit 'Superstar', Jamelia had a Number 2 hit with 'Thank You' in February 2004.

 

 

9. Girls Aloud - Jump (7.58)

((10), ultraviolence, Acidburn, Jay, Jester, mr aly), ((4), cremey)

 

A cover of the Pointer Sisters 1984 hit, 'Jump' was the official 2003 Children In Need single.

 

'Jump' was such a brilliant GA cover :wub:

 

'Thank You' is one of my least favourite Jamelia singles - I don't think she could ever top 'See It In a Boys Eyes' anyway :wub:

8. Will Young - Leave Right Now (7.69)

((11), jsliv, Jester), ((-1), Liam)

 

First single to be lifted fro Will Young's second studio album gave him his fourth UK Number 1 at the back end of 2003. Despite this, 'Leave Right Now' became Will's first appearance on a Now album.

 

 

7. Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up (7.82)

((11), Acidburn), ((0), darkstar79)

 

Following up the massive Number 1 single 'Where Is The Love', 'Shut Up' made Number 2 in December 2003 and the second single from their album 'Elephunk'.

 

8. Will Young - Leave Right Now (7.69)

 

First single to be lifted fro Will Young's second studio album gave him his fourth UK Number 1 at the back end of 2003. Despite this, 'Leave Right Now' became Will's first appearance on a Now album.

 

Really? The biggest selling song of the noughties Evergreen never made a Now album?! :o

 

 

6. Keane - Somewhere Only We Know (8.01)

((11), Riser), ((0), jsliv darkstar79)

 

I can't tell you how great it is to see Keane this high. :D Fab song from such a great album. 'Somewhere Only We Know' peaked at Number 3 in early 2004.

 

 

5. Snow Patrol - Run (8.17)

((11), Chez Wombat, jonjo, mykindoflove), ((-1), jsliv)

 

Another great track from Irish rockers Snow Patrol. 'Run' peaked in the Top 5 and was taken from their album 'Final Straw'.

 

Really? The biggest selling song of the noughties Evergreen never made a Now album?! :o

 

Nope. It was on one of them pesky Hits albums instead. :(

4. Kelis - Milkshake (8.25)

((11), xketalinax, cremey), ((-1), jonjo)

 

Kelis brought her milkshake to the charts in early 2004 when she had a massive Number 2 hit 'Milkshake. 2004 was a big year for her as she also had a Number 2 hit with 'Trick Me' and a Top 5 hit with 'Millionaire'.

 

 

3. Sugababes - Too Lost In You (8.29)

((11), Simon), ((4), IZ)

 

Released as the second single from their album 'Three' and was the follow up to the Number 1 'Hole In The Head'. Sadly 'Too Lost In You' only peaked at Number 10 due to being released on the week of the Christmas chart and kind of got lost in the big battle for Number 1. 'Too Lost In You' also features on the soundtrack to the film Love Actually.
