Fire Wire still sounds relevent as an example of the hard trance that Blackpink and Katsye brought back at the end of Jump and Pinky Up.

2000- Bob Sinclar- I Feel For You

Sampled:

'I Feel For You' was the first single from French DJ Bob Sinclar's second studio album 'Champs Elysees'. This would go on and peak at #9 in the UK. This isn't one that I'm that familiar with from Bob Sinclar. You'll be seeing this soon on BBC Four with Top of The Pops currently in 2000 in their BBC Four repeats. This would sample 'Look for Love' by Cerrone.

2001- Tall Paul vs INXS- Precious Heart

Original:

Tom Jones & Natalie Imbruglia's Version;

Paloma Faith's Version:

John Lewis Advert:

'Precious Heart' was an remixed version of Australian rock band INXS 'Never Tear Us Apart' from 1988. This remixed version from English DJ Tall Paul would better the original version's chart peak by peaking at #12 in the UK. 'Never Tear Us Apart' would be covered eleven years later this time from Paloma Faith where her version would peak at #16 in the UK. It also be covered by Tom Jones who collaborated with Natalie Imbruglia.

2005- Texas- Getaway

TOTP Performance:

'Getaway' was the first single from Scottish band Texas seventh studio album 'Red Book' This would go on and peak at #6 in the UK, this is one I can remember hearing at my end of primary school disco. It's one that I liked at the time although it isn't one that I hear that much nowadays. This is some sheer brilliance from Sharleen Spiteri.

I hadn't realised Cascada's 'Everytime We Touch' was based on a Maggie Reilly song before!

This Week:

2006- Evanescence- Call Me When You're Sober

'Call Me When You're Sober' was the first single from Evanescence's second studio album 'The Open Door'. This would go on and peak at #4 in the UK, in the US this would peak at #10 in the Billboard Hot 100. This is one that I'm not that familiar with from Evanescence although their album being promoted on an billboard at Birmingham New Street station. It's no 'Bring Me To Life'. But it's an decent song from them.

2006- Cast Of High School Musical- Breaking Free

'Breaking Free' was the main song from the film 'High School Musical', one that was sung by Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens). This would go on and peak at #9 in the UK, in the US this would fare better by peaking at #4 in the Billboard Hot 100. This was one that I wasn't an fan of at the time, one that wasn't obsessed with the film 'High School Musical' which most people in my year seemed to be at the time.

2007- The Hoosiers- Goodbye Mr A

'Goodbye Mr A' was the second single from The Hoosiers' debut album 'The Trick To Life'. This would go on and peak at #4 in the UK. This is one I remember got that T4 exclusive Sunday afternoon music video premiere one that had an memorable music video which contained an superhero comic strip. Mr A. This was one that I quite enjoyed from The Hoosiers.

Mr A this is for you:

I like the Evanescence and Hoosiers tracks but 'Breaking Free' I'm not a fan of either.

Thanks for commenting, @Roba. Much appreciated. For 'Breaking Free' it was one that I just couldn't get into or see the appeal of High School Musical, I've never watched High School Musical or the 2 sequels that followed. I think if streaming had been around then without the 3 per artist cap, High School Musical would have dominated the UK Charts.

This Week:

2002- Shania Twain- I'm Gonna Getcha Good!

Red Version:

Performance Version:

Green Version:

Blue Version:

TOTP Performance:

Fame Academy Performance:

'I'm Gonna Getcha Good!' was the lead single from Shania Twain's fourth studio album 'Up'. This would go on and peak at #4 in the UK, in the IUS this would peak at #34 in the Billboard Hot 100. This is one that in recent years has become an staple on playlists for me, thit's an blooming fantastic song from Shania Twain, in particular 'The Red Version' which was released. The music video was particularly memorable which set was set in a futuristic setting with Shania Twain on a motorcycle.

2005- Kate Bush- King of The Mountain

'King of The Mountain' was the lead single from Kate Bush's eighth studio album 'Aerial'. It was Kate Bush's first single to be released since 1993. This would go on and peak at #4 in the UK, becoming her first Top 10 single in 19 years. This is one that I haven't heard for an while, wasn't an fan of Kate Bush's music I'm sorry to say but this is all right from her. Don't think this got Radio 1 playlisted.

2006- Girls Aloud- Something Kinda Ooooh

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway Performance:

Christmas TOTP Performance:

'Something Kinda Ooooh' was the lead single from Girls Aloud's greatest hits collection 'The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits'. This would go on and peak at #3 in the UK, They would become the first British act to debut in the Top 5 based on download sales alone. This is an fantastic tune from Girls Aloud, what an tune this is from them, it's blooming brilliant.

'Something Kinda Ooooh' being 20 years old now makes me feel ancient I was a fan of the girls but that Greatest Hits album was the first era of theirs I properly got stuck into at the time, so it brings back good memories. What a banger and such a big hit for them!

I think 'King of the Mountain' passed me by at the time but I quite enjoy it now, an ever quirky outlook on the price of fame.

'Somethin Kinda Ooh' is a fun bop which I like more now than now.

Shania's is catchy too which I bought the single of that week.
