Little Man Tate - Sexy In Latin

 

Peak: 20

Chart Run: 20-70 (2 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Man I Hate Your Band (#26)

 

 

Comment: This is a very good indie track. Sounds extremely like Arctic Monkeys which is never a bad thing. This is so much better than the previous track I listened to.

Gossip - Standing In The Way Of Control

 

Peak: 07

Chart Run: 64-77-(x)-63-42-34-25-17-13-7-9-13-18-20-30-37-43-53-51-65-67-56-60-63-79-79-90-(x)-63-61-85-48-76-76-60-71-97-(x)-88-99 (39 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Listen Up (#39)

 

 

Comment: Even with the impressive overall run I can't believe how many few weeks this had in the top 10. I thought this was a massive running #2 hit. This is a very bold and striking song but not one I ever chose to listen to.

Omarion - Ice Box

 

Peak: 14

Chart Run: 51-19-22-23-14-20-30-31-40-53-65-70-100 (13 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: O (#47)

 

 

Comment: We've definitely entered the Timbaland era of music. This is a very good R'N'B track but Timbaland's verse is rather poor. Killer chorus.

Camille Jones vs Fedde Le Grand - The Creeps

 

Peak: 07

Chart Run: 16-7-9-13-11-19-26-33-36-41-56-69-79-95-96 (15 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: Fedde Le Grand is quite easily my favourite DJ from the 00's. All 3 of his hits are absolute tunes, including this one. This is probably my 2nd favourite of the 3. Camille Jones is great on this, shame she was never to be seen again.

2nd Highest Hit: Take Me Away (#73)

 

 

Comment: I don't believe I've actually ever heard the original of this. :kink: But I do enjoy this version, it's a little cheesy but still fun.

2nd Highest Hit: Baby It's Fact (#81)

 

 

Comment: I remember this being weird but not quite as weird as it is. I used to love this when I was little but now I find the autotune a little too strong and destracting. Still nostalgic from listening to this on The Hits every day after school.

The Creeps is one of the best songs of the 00s!!! Infact all 3 of Fedde Le Grand's chart hits were big 10/10s for me, amazing consistency albeit short :(

Yes!!! All 3 are so good.

I think it's time for his massive comeback to the charts :lol:

Fedde Le Grand only does unexciting progressive/big room house now though, nothing like his 2006-7 material :(

That's a shame. His previous songs were so good.

2nd Highest Hit: Hey Scenesters & Mirror Kissers (both #27)

 

 

Comment: The interesting vocals make this one of the best of the many indie songs that have featured in this countdown. I think it's safer to link to the censored video though. :lol:

2nd Highest Hit: Like This (#82)

 

 

Comment: I've tried to like this but he just sounds so disinterested which really distracts from the song. Shocked this was a number one in the US. :o

Comment: This reminds me of a non-Scottish Twin Atlantic. Nice and upbeat and catchy. Decent effort.

Super Mal ft Luciana - Bigger Than Big

 

Peak: 19

2nd Highest Hit: You Are The Music In Me (#26)
