Thanks to a chart renaissance of sorts in 'With Every Heartbeat' topping the UK chart in the summer of 2007, Robyn released 'Be Mine' in the UK as the third single from her 4th studio album which is named also as Robyn but in Scandinavia was the lead single back in April 2005 where Pitchfork listed it among the top 50 songs of that year. 'Be Mine' charted in the UK at 10 in January of 2008. Robyn convincingly wins over it's rivals here being the big forum favourite!

British Electronic group Hot Chip were ready to sweep the win here as their 2008 #6 hit 'Ready For The Floor' beats out the megastar Lady Gaga. The lyric 'You're My Number One Guy' comes from the influence of it being said in the first Tim Burton remake of the Batman movie and Alexis Taylor can be seen in the video alternating between a mild mannered tech wiz and The Joker. Some articles falsely claimed that Hot Chip were going to give Kylie Minogue this song but this was dismissed as they hadn't got in contact with Kylie to work on anything although they did say they'd consider handing her this track if it was to happen as it sounded the most suitable.

and the aforementioned Lady Gaga is runner up with 'LoveGame', the fourth release in the UK from The Fame which peaked at 19. Lyrically about a sexual attraction to a stranger in a club. For the music video it takes on the inspiration of the video for Michael Jackson's 'Bad' with Gaga donning Nazi Chic clothes.
