Posted April 9Apr 9 CHART BATTLE REWINDFirst visit to 2003 now with a chart battle between two of the biggest names of the time - Christina Aguilera and DJ Sammy. Both artists scored a #1 with their preceding singles, Dirrty and Heaven respectively, and were looking to do the same with follow-ups Beautiful and The Boys of Summer. While Christina made magic with songwriter Linda Perry on the now-iconic ballad, DJ Sammy continued his formula of turning 80s rock hits into Eurodance bangers. In the end, Christina prevailed and scored a second consecutive number one (fourth overall) - and her final one to date!But which is your number one? Vote above.
April 9Apr 9 I do like that DJ Sammy song but there is something quite timeless about Beautiful so I've gone with that.
April 9Apr 9 Beautiful is one of my fave ballads of all time A great bit of queer representation in the video also

April 9Apr 9 Both topped my personal chart, but Beautiful - a classic and my favourite song from Stripped, which is one of my favourite albums.
April 9Apr 9 Ended up going with 'Beautiful' but it was literally a coin toss scenario as I like both a lot!
April 9Apr 9 Boys of Summer.I know Beautiful is a bit of a classic, but I love the original and dance cover of BOS.
April 9Apr 9 Boys of Summer for me.Idk why but I can't really take to 'Beautiful' as much as I probably should. It was my least favourite single from that era of Xtinct for me!
April 9Apr 9 Boys of Summer is mindless Europappop. It's terrible.Beautiful is one of Christina's defining hits and a meaningful song. It would have been so weong if ir missed our on no.1 for that utter slop.
