June 25Jun 25 #1161st 17/31 Votes (54%)Robbie reigns 'Supreme' over S Club 7 here. It was the third single to be taken off his hugely acclaimed third album Sing When You're Winning and peaked at 4 in December 2000 and was the fourth #4 peak of 7 in Robbie's career ('Angels', 'No Regrets', 'Strong' and then 'Feel', 'Come Undone' and 'Rudebox' coming after). It used an interpolation of Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive'. The string instrument part is a François de Roubaix-composed piece from the José Giovanni-directed film Dernier domicile connu starring Lino Ventura and Marlène Jobert. It's also noticeably remembered video wise for it's F1 theme paying ode to driver Jackie Stewart and stock footage showing Robbie and Jackie can be seen digitally inserted creating the perfect near illusion of a neck and neck pursuit of the championship title and the video makes great use of the split screen techniques implemented like in 60's and 70's movies and especially the 1966 racing movie Grand Prix. Another movie cliche, fake newspaper headlines are shown intermittently to help narrate the story.2nd 14/31 Votes (45%)runner up goes to S Club 7 with their winter soppy themed ballad released in aid of Children in Need 2000, 'Never Had a Dream Come True'. It became the groups 2nd of 4 number one singles and it's accompanied by the Christmasy tingled video which despite not being promoted or supposed to be counted as a Christmas song might as well be by the visuals and presentation. It improves on it's 6th place in it's other YE survivor appearance all the way back in the #9 edition. The track also gave them their only top 10 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A Demo version of the song was used in the opening theme to the shows S Club Let's Go Wild! and the Christmas special while the instrumental version was briefly heard in another show by them called Artistic Differences.3rd: Fall Out Boy - Dance Dance 15/30 votes (50%)4th: Robbie Williams - Come Undone 12/32 votes (38%)5th: Razorlight - Wire To Wire 21/31 votes (68%)6th: Ordinary Boys - I Luv U 14/32 votes (44%)7th: Abs - What You Got 12/31 votes (39%)8th: N Dubz - I Need You 11/28 votes (39%)9th: 50 Cent - Just A Lil’ Bit 10/31 votes (32%)10th: Ronan Keating - I Hope You Dance 14/27 votes (52%)

June 29Jun 29 #117 1st 16/28 Votes Their only top 40 hit in the UK brings Wu-Tang Clan a win in this survivor. It peaked at 6. The chorus "back back and forth fourth" is taken from the funk group Cameo's single 'Back and Forth'. According to The Wu-Tang Manual the beat for the track was sampled from Antoine Duhamel's soundtrack to a French TV miniseries entitled Belphegor. The trumpet introduction can be heard too using 'It's A Mans Mans World' by James Brown. Producer RZA originally wanted Aaliyah to record the track but her tragic passing meant that it didn't come to fruition. Rza and Raekwon also provide spoken bits on the track. 2nd 11/28 Votes Former Big Brovaz ladies Cherise Roberts and Nadia Shepherd formed as Booty Luv in 2006 and released one album as a duo.
