9. allSTARS* - Best Friends (2001)

UK chart : # 20

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (7 weeks)

Catchy very underrated debut single for the group, who had a good potential to have ten # 1 hits in "Gražios Dainos", but released only one album.

Chartrun : 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-5-6-6-8-7-10-11-12-12-13-13-14-15-17-19 (25 weeks)

8. Faye Tozer and Russell Watson - Someone Like You (2002)

UK chart : # 10

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (5 weeks)

Best duet in the history of pop music. I always loved Faye, sadly she didn't release solo material.

7. Geri Halliwell - Calling (2001)

UK chart : # 7

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (5 weeks)

Now "Calling" is classic pop music hit. My rate - 9.5 out of 10, only because of a limit. Any singer or group can have only one 10/10 song.

Chartrun : 1-1-1-2-2-1-1-2-2-3-4-4-5-6-5-7-8-10-11-13-14-15-17-19 (24 weeks)

6. Geri Halliwell - Desire (2005)

UK chart : # 22

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (8 weeks)

It's a time for unpopular opinion again, but "Desire" is her best single and "Circles Round The Moon" is Geri's # 1 song. Also "Desire" is the first out of six songs with 10/10 score in this countdown.

5. Girls Aloud - I Can't Speak French (2008)

UK chart : # 9

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (7 weeks)

In 2020 year "I Can't Speak French" was the 2nd (only behind YVA - Brunetes Blondines) in top 100 girl group songs list.

Both my favourite Girls Aloud songs weren't big hits and reached only # 9 in their home country. I will not deny a solid influence of gorgeous "Can't Speak French" music video on the final results in this countdown. All ladies looks very impressive in 18th century French dresses. Girls Aloud also recorded a French language version "Je Ne Parle Pas Francais" and their French is not bad at all.

Edited April 1Apr 1 by Last Dreamer

Oops I Did It was a chart-topper for me I think, and love Cant Speak french, Sitting Down Here, I Kissed A Girl, No Good Advice, and Somethin Stupid, though as Ive mentioned before Nancy Sinatra's original (and her 60's career) are massive faves of mine. Christina's, See The Day (again I prefer the original), H & Claire are all decent, and the rest I don't know/remember well. Russell Watson sang a great TV theme around 2002, Star Trek Enterprise. Should have been a hit.

4. allSTARS* - The Land Of Make Believe (2002)

UK chart : # 9

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (7 weeks)

Chartrun : 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-3-4-5-6-7-8-10-13-14-16-16-18-20 (23 weeks)

"The Land of Make Believe" became only one song in the history of my retrospective chart, which was # 1 in three different versions, when Blogos Mergaites got # 1 with "Norim Buti Vaikais" (cover on Lithuanian language). The combined result is 21 weeks at # 1 (!!!) - nine for Bucks Fizz, seven for allSTARS* and five for Blogos Mergaites. Original was my "Song of the Year" from 1981 year, allSTARS* cover version is my favourite single from 2002.

I adore all three versions and gave very rare, but deserved 10 / 10 score.

3. Britney Spears - Lucky (2000)

UK chart : # 5

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (8 weeks)

Chartrun : 1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-1-1-1-3-3-5-6-8-8-10-12-12-14-15-15-16-18-20 (26 weeks)

2. Steps - It's The Way You Make Me Feel (2001)

UK chart : # 2

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (9 weeks)

Chartrun : 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-4-5-6-8-9-11-13-13-15-17-17-19 (23 weeks)

1. Sinead Quinn - I Can't Break Down (2003)

UK chart : # 2

"Gražios Dainos" : # 1 (10 weeks)

Chartrun : 1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-1-1-2-1-1-3-4-3-5-4-1-3-5-8-11-14-16-16-18 (27 weeks)

the Bucks Fizz original is a classic chart-topper for me, Lucky also topped my charts, and the Steps runner-up is one of their better records, and I also rated the Sinead Quin winner - I think it was a top 5! Well done on doing the run though, lots I love in it!

Only four songs spent ten or more weeks at # 1 in "Gražios Dainos" history :

- Anmary - Beautiful Song (14 weeks)

- YVA - Brunetes Blondines (11 weeks)

- Sue Wilkinson - You Gotta Be A Hustler If You Wanna Get On (10 weeks)

- Sinead Quinn - I Can't Break Down (10 weeks)
