Tommi - Like What

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-26-42-63-53-61-61-59-84 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: This is dire. Why they feel the need to use some pointless fake American accents, I don't know. The chorus is abhorrent.

Rating: 4/10

 

 

 

Siobhan Donaghy - Overated

 

Peak: 19

Chart Run: 19-45-74-(x)-90-63 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Don't Give It Up (#45)

 

 

Commentary: I think this is going to be an unpopular opinion on here but I've never liked the Sugababes. So I didn't have high hopes going into this song. It turns out that this is better than any of the Sugababes' songs but it's still not great. A bit average.

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: I thought this was going to be bad and would have only been a hit due to her family, but this is shockingly decent. It's not brilliant but a lot better than I was expecting.

Rating: 7/10

Chart Run: 13-18-21-28-34-45-61 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: Never heard this but I love Hip Hop of the time and this is no exception. It nowhere near as good as what Outkast and Eminem were making but it's still fun.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Jane's Addiction - Just Beacause

 

Peak: 14

Chart Run: 14-32-56-73 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Been Caught Stealing (#34)

2nd Highest Hit: Crashin' A Party (#55)

 

 

Commentary: This is a big tune. It's actually aged much better than I was expecting. Another great verse from the legend that is Busta Rhymes. I don't know how she got away with such poor vocals though.

Mel Blatt - Do Me Wrong

 

Peak: 18

Chart Run: 18-41-60-(x)-95-92 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: See Me (#82)

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Rishi Rich Project ft Jay Sean & Juggy D - Dance With You (Nachna Tere Naal)

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-23-35-50-68-(x)-79-(x)-100 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: This is what kicked off Jay Sean's career. Actually a lot better than most of his solo work. A sweet mix of R'N'B & Bhangra.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

 

Kontakt - Show Me A Sign

 

Peak: 19

Chart Run: 19-31-44-62-(x)-88-94 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: The lack of trance from this year shows it's decline in popularity compared to only a few years earlier. It must be the lack of trance for a while that's making me really enjoy this. A bit of a banger.

Rating: 7.5/10

Milk & Sugar ft Lizzy Pattinson - Let The Sunshine In

 

Peak: 18

Chart Run: 18-36-47-74 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Love Is In The Air (#25)

 

 

Commentary: I'm absolutely loving this song right now. The singer is the sister of Robert Pattinson. She was also on X Factor last year, I don't remember her being this good.

Rating: 8.5/10

 

 

 

Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On

 

Peak: 02

2nd Highest Hit: Last Drop (#22)

Chingy - Right Thurr

 

Peak: 17

Chart Run: 17-27-37-49-73 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: One Call Away (#26)

 

 

Commentary: The pronunciation of 'thurr' and 'hurr' is quiet annoying but it doesn't take away too much from the song. Another solid early 00's Hip Hop track.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Obie Trice - Got Some Teeth

 

Peak: 08

Chart Run: 8-14-20-32-41-59-63-70-78-68-74-70-(x)-85-86-82-93-(x)-95 (17 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: The Set Up (You Don't Know) (#32)

 

 

Commentary: All I've ever heard from Obie before this is 'Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks' at the start of Without Me. This is a weird song but still a bit of a banger.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Shane Richie - I'm Your Man

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: Not the first Eastenders actor to appear on here but by far the best. I actually really like this cover but I like most of the old Children In Need hits.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Michael Andres ft Gary Jules - Mad World

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-1-1-2-4-5-12-12-23-28-31-43-57-66-70-(x)-87-91-(x)-100-(x)-58-67-(x)-86-26-53-91-(x)-88 (25 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: Absolutely beautiful song. It's a great number one but I would have loved The Darkness to have had a week at the top. It was actually a sample of this in a song by comedian Doc Brown that made me love this.

Rating: 8.5/10
